Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This is detailed post on a dating survey conducted by the Oxford University on a representative sample of 24,000 men and women 18 countries. Although many insights has been gathered by the co-authors Dr Bernie Hogan and Professor William Dutton, I will highlight only some essential findings that are useful to our readers.
- 1 in 3 people who use the internet have visited online dating sites to find love
- Out of the 24,000 people studied only 6% used the dating service back in 1997 with 30% using it in 2009
- Surprisingly middle aged men/women (aged 40-69) are likely users of the dating service
- People who use the online dating sites are much more likely to recommend to other people
- Social networks and chat rooms have played a significant role in the online dating scene
- Despite the growth of online dating, many people still meet through offline channels such as events, bars etc.
- The most active online daters appear to be in Brazil with the least active in Japan
could bars eventually become extinct with the proliferation of online dating sites?

Anastasia International Breaks World Kissing Record - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Here is interesting reading about a romance tour company Anastasia of Ukraine breaking the Guinness World Kissing Record to commemorate Valentines Day.
A fortunate American man was stationed on a chair with two rows of women lining up to kiss him on either cheeks and moving out on each side. Its quite funny to watch the video as the gentleman’s head was propped up by someone from the back because of the ‘recoil’ of the kisses and the speed at which this was taking place.
The previous record of 112 kisses per minute held by Deborah Gist of Washington, D.C. was set in 2009 and broken with 118 smackers in this round.
Proceedings of the events go to the Ukrainian Red Cross Society.
In case you are not aware of the Guinness Book of Records, any world record event needs to be recognized by officials of the company behind the book, so unfortunately you cannot do this just by yourself and claim credit to your greatness!

Find Love With A Unique Online Dating Service Based On Aura Colors - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Article Subject: Find Love With A Unique Online Dating Service Based On Aura Colors

Website: LoveColors.com
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This is more a press release of a new website called LoveColors.com which basically connect with singles online, by taking a personality compatibility approach based on aura colors. How that works, I am not sure, but we will definitely be doing a review of this site in our Free Dating Site Reviews section. The site claims to be Free.
The description of the site from the post reminds me of compatibility tests similar to what is available on eHarmony. The rating is not a reflection of the quality of the site, its just that the press release is fairly boring and rehashes the same information that is already well known to most people in the world of online dating.
