The overall objective of this Thesis was to understand the use unmarried adult women (single, widowed or separated) are doing of partner search applications. The theoretical contributions were the critical studies of gender and the theory of romantic attachment. The method was qualitative and the instrument used was the interview. Semi-directed interviews were conducted with five women over 35 years of urban middle class with high educational levels and adepts of new technologies, which reported their experiences of the use and their perceptions about the impact of applications of meetings in the contemporary relationships. The results led to the formulation of a proposal for three styles of usage of applications partner search: the curious use, recreational use and rational use. As for the impact on the formation of romantic relationships we observed that these widen the possibilities for meetings for different purposes. Applications for meetings also highlighted some aspects of contemporary romantic relationships, such as greater exposure, quantity and speed interactions, persistent romantic ideas updated through adaptations, and belief in technology, rationality and self-knowledge for a better partner selection. The dating applications are valid resources and increasingly popular in searching loving partnership. In general its uses reflect the typified behaviors of gender of our society, but also they facilitate the emergence of more recreational female sexual behaviors, which can contribute for greater equality between genders
