How Does Music Play An Important Role When It Comes To Compatibility In Dating?

When it comes to dating, music plays a very important role to know if someone is compatible with you or not. Having the same music taste can actually make a difference.

When it comes to dating, there are a lot of things that come into the picture to check if there is compatibility or not between two people. Whether it is the non-negotiables, their stance on whether they have the same future prospects or if they like similar things. But turns out, while bigger picture things are important, there is another aspect that surely is important to see the compatibility between two romantic partners - music.

Why is music important when it comes to dating?

Several studies have denoted how music is exceptionally important for the body and mind. Studies by Hurom in the year 2002, Mithen in 2006 and Bicknell in 2007 have clearly stated that music acts as a social cement and it acts as a social cohesion to bind people together. So, naturally, when it comes to dating, it is obvious to check how music brings two people to bond.

Similar music taste is important

As per research commissioned by Bumble and conducted by Censuswide among a sample of 2,016 adults (aged 18-40) across 10 Indian cities between 06.04.23 - 11.04.23, it was noted that 74% of Indians feel that having a similar taste in music is very important. When you think about the survey theoretically, it does make a lot of sense. Music is a means to provide relief from social stress and knowing the same music that brings you relief from your daily life is also something your partner thinks of can be very cathartic.

Vibing and binding on the same kind of music is something that can not only bring people closer but can also help them become more comfortable with one another.

Music helps in expressing feelings

Music entirely is a vast pool of genres. From rock to hip-hop to jazz, there is music for pretty much each and every kind of person there is. For some, music is all about understanding the words and how it touches the soul, for others, it is about feeling it through the beats and the instruments. Music for many, is also a means of expression. For those who have a hard time expressing their thoughts and feelings, music is a great outlet that helps them speak their mind. As per the survey commissioned by Bumble, it was noted that 92% of Indians believe that music helps them express their feelings or thoughts that they can't put in words.

Writing may not be a forte for many but there is definitely a song for mostly every emotion a person is feeling. Whether to tell someone you love them or to tell them how much you miss them, there is a song for everything. So, it can become a communication barrier.

Sharing music is a love language

For a lot of people sharing the music they are listening to is quite sacred. Many like to keep their music tastes and the new songs they are listening to themselves and the idea of sharing their playlists with people can be something very personal. So, if someone is sharing their playlist or their favourite music with their partner, that can definitely be denoted as the above language. As per the Bumble survey, for a staggering 88% of people, sharing songs or their playlists with a potential love interest is a love language.

Recognizing and learning what your partner likes and thinks is good music can not only make you understand them better but also can expand your own music playlist. Who knows, you may start to like a whole new genre thanks to your new love interest.

No dating with different tastes in music

As mentioned, music is one very important criterion when talking to someone new music can be a very important aspect. While similar taste in music can definitely improve compatibility, a lack of it can also become a huge turnoff for some people. As per the survey, 66% of people would be put off dating someone if they had completely different tastes in music. Imagine going on a road trip with your partner and having music tastes which are poles apart. The journey will not be favourable for at least one person here and obviously, the experience may not be as great as compared to a couple who may be vibing to a song or music they both like on full volume while they both are out and about.

Music can also indicate compatibility

Music alone can obviously not determine the stability of a relationship. In fact, it is a very small factor that determines how a relationship will turn out to be. While music surely is a small factor in depicting two people breaking up, for many, music definitely indicates if they are compatible or not. A lot of people think matching their vibe via music is important when it comes to starting a new relationship. As per the Bumble survey, 61% of Indians surveyed say that if their partner doesn't get the music they listen to, they will not be compatible.

While obviously, this may or may not be the case for a lot of people, die-hard music fanatics like to feel comfortable in the fact that they can share their choice of music with their partner or that they can vibe to the same kind of music with them just to feel closer to them.

For those who are wondering what kind of genre is the most liked by people in the country, it is the OG Bollywood music with 62% of people listening to the same in the country, as per the Bumble survey. 50% of people are listening to Indian classical music followed by 39% of people listening to rap and hip-hop music. Rock music and folk music follow the same with 37% and 36% of people listening to them.

Music has the capability and capacity to start interesting conversations. Similar music tastes can not only make someone like the other person a little better but it can also help one understand the other person a little better. After all, music and what people listen to can not only help bind them but also make them understand if they would enjoy the person's company.
