Dry Dating

What is Dry Dating?

Dry dating refers to going on dates without consuming alcohol. This practice encourages more genuine and intentional connections by allowing people to interact without the influence of alcohol.

Definition

Dry dating involves meeting someone and engaging in activities while refraining from drinking. It fosters clearer communication and more authentic interactions by removing alcohol from the equation.

Reasons for Dry Dating

Many people opt for dry dating to save money, prioritize health, and improve their dating habits. Millennials and Gen Zers, for example, have reported saving an average of nearly $90 each month by forgoing alcohol on dates. Additionally, around 90 percent of surveyed daters prefer alcohol-free dates, particularly in the early stages of building a relationship. This approach is linked to better conversations and stronger connections. About 70 percent of survey participants stated they felt a deeper bond when alcohol was absent.

Benefits

Dry dating emphasizes attentiveness and personal safety. Staying sober enhances focus and engagement, helping people remain present during interactions. Additionally, avoiding alcohol supports clearer decision-making and a heightened sense of security, particularly on first dates.

Practical Implementation

Communication is key to establishing expectations around dry dating. Being upfront about the choice not to drink helps set the tone. For example, one could express this by saying, “I’m trying to be mindful while dating, so I won’t be drinking because I’d like to focus on getting to know you.”

Statistics

A Bumble survey from 2022 found that 34 percent of its users showed increased interest in dry dating compared to pre-pandemic times. Additionally, over 80 percent of millennials and Gen Zers have tried alcohol-free dates, with nearly two-thirds favoring this approach.

Cultural Impact

Dry dating aligns with trends such as “Dry January,” where people abstain from alcohol for a month to reevaluate their habits. This trend reflects growing interest in mindful dating practices, emphasizing clear communication and meaningful interactions without the use of alcohol.

Interest-Based Online Advertising and Google Analytics

This section of our Privacy Notice provides details about interest-based online advertising (also called "targeted advertising", “remarketing”, or "behavioral advertising"), Google Analytics, and your choices with respect to this type of advertising.

We use Google Analytics’ third-party audience data such as age, gender and interests to better understand the behavior of our customers and work with companies that collect information about your online activities to provide advertising targeted to suit your interests and preferences. For example, you may see certain ads on this website or other websites because we contract with Google and other similar companies to target our ads based on information we or they have collected, including information that was collected through automated means (such as cookies and web beacons). These companies also use automated technologies to collect information when you click on our ads, which helps track and manage the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and edit or opt-out your Google Display Network ads’ preferences at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. Because those opt-out and preference control pages are specific to the individual browser used to visit it, and because that page is not operated by Sugar Daddy, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us here.
