93% of Singles Say Self-Improvement Efforts Will Help Them Find ‘The One’

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — According to a new survey from dating app Plenty of Fish, singles are focused on finding new ways to show up as their best selves, and, ultimately, to make dating a better, more welcoming experience. This year, both romantic love and self-love are a priority, with 60% of singles invested in improving themselves for future relationships and 93% believing that the efforts they’re making are working and increasing their chances of finding “The One.”

Singles Take Self-Reflection to Heart
Commissioned by dating app Plenty of Fish in partnership with nonprofit A Call to Men and conducted by OnePoll, the survey also found that singles, especially men, are becoming increasingly self-aware when it comes to what went wrong in past relationships, with 73% of men and 66% of women seeing themselves as the “anti-hero” or problem in past relationships. When asked why past relationships didn’t work out, 36% of men admitted to being selfish or uncompromising (compared to 28% of women), and 21% of men admitted to being jealous and insecure (compared to 14% of women). The good news is that 79% of Millennials say that each relationship they have is a learning opportunity for future relationships.

Interestingly, 61% of men who have been on a date in the last three months that didn’t go well assumed they were the reason it ended poorly (vs. 50% of women). In fact, 75% of men said they “know exactly” what they did to botch their dates, signifying astute introspection. While men are more likely to think they’re to blame for bad dates, they are also more open-minded to second chances than women. Following a bad first date, 70% of men will give things a second chance, compared to just 54% of women.

“Our goal in partnering with A Call to Men on this research is to foster new conversations around healthy dating behaviors, and we are encouraged to see that these topics already resonate with singles,” said Shannon Smith, Public Relations Director at Plenty of Fish. “When people are willing to build on their previous experiences and take initiative to be compassionate communicators, better listeners, and generally more self-aware, we believe it leads to better, more welcoming dating experiences for everyone.”

A Better Me for a Better We
Over three-quarters (77%) of singles believe that the benefits of self-improvement can extend across multiple areas of life, including dating. This is good news for singles, as 66% of men and 55% of women are taking steps to better themselves. Methods include: going to therapy (41% of men and 33% of women), exercising (37% of singles), getting more sleep (36% of singles), consuming self-improvement content (35% of singles), and prioritizing self-care (33% of singles).

“At A Call to Men, we believe that healthy, respectful manhood is key to creating a more equitable and just society,” said Ted Bunch, Chief Development Officer, A Call to Men.  “We’re proud to partner with Plenty of Fish on this study, highlighting the importance of self-awareness in dating. By promoting personal growth for all individuals, we can help create healthier and happier relationships for everyone.”

With the benefits of self-improvement extending across multiple areas of life, including relationships – the outlook on dating in 2023 is bright, with singles saying the top things they’ve learned are:

Considering the feelings of others (43%)Appreciating the little things (39%)Appreciating love languages (38%)Improving communication and listening skills (35%)Compromising (30%)

This survey is a part of an ongoing partnership between Match Group (NSDQ: MTCH), Plenty of Fish’s parent company, and A Call to Men that was formed to foster discussions that encourage positive dating behaviors among men to enhance the dating experience for all singles.

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

About Greenzie

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
