On Zoosk, singles who are in the 35-44 age group sent 17% more messages during this time of the year.
Generally speaking, they also found out that senior daters were way more talkative than the younger ones.
Indeed, senior singles over 45 sent 15% more messages in comparison to what they usually send the rest of the year.
