Online dating works, finally, The Guardian quoted Ruben J. Thomas, associate professor of sociology at the University of New York City, who collaborated on the survey, as saying.
We estimate that 23 percent of couples dating sites in the United States, which met in two years from 2007 to 2009 met online. More people meet online to answer now that the school, work, church, bars, parties, etc., “he said.
According to Discovery News, Thomas said that the tracks have opened an eligible online dating pool especially for certain groups who may not have many opportunities for off-line romantic.
Online dating has spent much of sub-populations that do not have a large number of potential partners available to meet their daily lives, “said Thomas.
The rate of partnership seems to change. When we look at data on women’s sexuality in recent decades, they appear more likely to be in a relationship now than before, “he said.
Some daters online trying to find women with about their age or weight to avoid filtering in demographic research, as minor flaws can be extended online compared to real world interactions.
When you meet someone face to face, could not know exactly how old they are, but online you can develop these strict criteria, such as “if you are 35 years old, I date, but if you are 36, forget, “said Gibbs.
Thus, while statistically dating probably works with more than 10 million American couples as evidence, it is important to understand the difference between Gibbs calls conditions of shopping online and offline shipping related.
Dating sites are bringing people together and sometimes it forms the illusion that a few mouse clicks you can find your soul mate, “said Gibbs.
