Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Here is another interesting article on the statistics of online dating.
As you know, online dating is booming judging by the recent takeover of OkCupid by Match.com and the boost in Match.com earnings from subscribers. In short, we are nowhere near saturation point and more people are looking online to find their partner.
The age group that go to these sites typically range from 18 all the way to 55+ with the biggest proportion in the 18-34 age bracket (almost 50%).
Although looks can play a big part in finding your partner, the article says that 86% women and 67% men prefer personality over looks which puts men in very much favor of finding their partner.
The three biggest fibs that are repeated in peoples online profiles are age, weight and income, which comes as no surprise.
