Researcher Jules Pector-Lallemand studies modern romance paradoxes across three cities
Jules Pector-Lallemand published doctoral research on young adults dating habits in Montreal, Paris and New York.
Study covers diverse relationship types
The researcher followed 41 participants between the ages of 18 and 35 over four years. The sample included heterosexual and LGBTQ+ individuals who were either monogamous or nonmonogamous.
Disillusionment with dating apps
Participants frequently expressed disappointment with online platforms, comparing them to fast food options focused on appearance. Many noted that traditional dating methods used to be different from current digital interactions.
Fieldwork included bar observations
Pector-Lallemand worked as a dishwasher in a Montreal bar to observe physical gestures during social interactions. He cross-referenced these observed behaviors with narratives collected during the interviews.
