Representatives of the Zoom generation complained that studying and working leave them no time for personal life. This is according to the results of a survey conducted by the dating service Mamba.

Half of the Gen Z respondents said that their busy schedules were the main reason for problems in their relationships. They admitted that their professional activities have completely replaced their personal lives. 55% of those surveyed even said that starting a start-up is easier for them than building relationships. The situation is particularly critical among girls: 50% blame their busy study and work schedules for their lack of dates. Among men, this figure is 36%. Six out of ten girls also experience emotional exhaustion on a daily basis. Forty-nine percent admit that they are on the verge of burnout.

Men fare slightly better: 41 percent experience constant fatigue, and 45 percent of those surveyed are familiar with burnout. This level of fatigue directly affects the desire to make new acquaintances. Fifty-five percent of men surveyed admit that starting a new relationship is more difficult for them than starting a business. Thirty percent of women and 23 percent of men say they don't even have the energy to flirt on messaging apps. One in five respondents cannot find time even for a short weekend together.

Despite being busy, 71% of women and 58% of men are willing to slow down their career development for the sake of a serious relationship. However, one in five respondents honestly admits that work takes priority over their personal life. Interestingly, 40 percent of men and 42 percent of women believe that professional success increases their attractiveness.

At the same time, the same number of women are certain that career does not play a role in a relationship—the main thing is that “the spark is there.” 67% of men and 66% of women dream of a happy medium—a moderate income with a balance between work and personal life. Only a quarter are willing to sacrifice relationships for maximum profits. Ideally, millennials would like to spend 10-12 hours a week with their partner. In reality, however, many of them have to limit themselves to weekends (17% of girls and 16% of boys). | BGNES
