Surprisingly, intelligence and humour were way down the list.

New research has discovered the top five qualities that Irish people look for in a partner.

The survey by iReach Insights shows 74 per cent of adults in Ireland want a trustworthy partner, while 72 per cent would like a kindhearted partner.

Loyalty came in third place, with 64 per cent of people wanting a loyal other half.

That was followed by funny (62%), intelligent (60%) and easy-going (60%).

Dating apps

The study also found that half of people in Ireland have been in a relationship with someone that they met through a dating app.

Despite this, 62 per cent said they believe that meeting someone online can be dangerous.

Tinder is the most popular dating app in Ireland, followed by PlentyOfFish and Grindr.

First date


When it comes to a first date, 72 per cent think going to a restaurant or pub is the best choice.

The research found that some of the biggest turn offs for an Irish person on a date include the other person spending too much time on their phone, and talking too much about their ex.
