The title of the article ‘**Dating apps most common way to meet a spouse in Japan’ is misleading. It really should say: ‘Dating Apps Are a Leading Method for Married Adults Under 40 to Meet in Japan (25%), but Offline Methods Still Dominate Overall.’** The original title also misleadingly suggests that dating apps are the predominant means to meet a future spouse. However, it does not differentiate between online and offline methods and treats different offline methods (such as work, friends, or social events) as separate categories, which collectively make offline the more common approach. It’s important to properly understand the data rather than accept a simplified headline that may not accurately reflect the reality.
