Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Currently in the mainstream of the online dating world, there are two classes of online dating sites and they differ in the way that members choose to find their partner.
Method 1: Often called matchmaking relies on users submitting a long questionnaire of their personality characteristics, their needs and the partner they are looking for. In this way the system will try to find compatible matches for you based on those personality dimensions. One such site is eharmony.
Method 2: You submit a shorter version of your profile and you do the search. The site has tools to narrow down your search according to different criteria of the search ie. age, weight, location, interests etc. An example of such a site would be Jumpdates.com.
Really its all down to preference and your taste but studies have suggested that people who are more serious about dating tend to opt for the matchmaking whereas people who want to have more flexibility and a wider choice go for the other one.
dating matchmaking service is one type of service offered by dating companies where they do all the work

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
Thursday, February 17th, 2011
Article Subject: Find Love With A Unique Online Dating Service Based On Aura Colors
Article Link: http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=132356

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.

Shocking Online Dating Statistics - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The theme appears to be ‘online dating statistics’ today for no apparent reason.
Here the post goes into length to bring us actual figures related to dating and I must warn the reader to keep in mind the real statistics and facts about this data. Firstly, it is very difficult to gauge real data unless we take a good representative samples from the online daters and assume that everyone of them had told the truth.
This data has apparently been compiled by OnlineSchool but when searching in Google, I couldn’t locate any body that handles statistical data in online dating. Maybe, you the reader can find something.
In summary the data compares the age group of daters and how members tend to lie about their age, height and weight and income as reported in my last post. One interesting fact was that 1 in 3 women who meet men online engage in sex in their first encounter. This probably explains why men and women rush to have their first meeting following their online conversation, maybe?
In any case, I would take the facts and figures with a grain of salt.
online dating statistics needs to come from reliable sources to be believable
