Are you considering jumping in the online dating pool to find love? Perhaps you’ve already taken that plunge and have your own experiences to share?
OnlineSchools has compiled some statistics surrounding online dating that offers a glimpse into the world of internet romance.
A few revealing Online Dating highlights:
- One out of ten users on online dating sites are scammers; one out of ten users leave within the first 3 months; and one out of ten sex offenders reportedly use online dating to meet people.
- One out of three women who meet men online have sex on the first encounter.
- Men lie about age, height, income. Women lie about weight, physical build, age.
- The Average length of courtship for marriage of couples who met online – 18.5 months – of couples who met offline – 42 months
The average length of courtship statistic was a little surprising…I had no idea the difference was that drastic.
