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.
