A growing number of men and women are using online dating to find their romantic partners. Let's run some numbers, shall we?

Statistics show that close to 48% of American men and 58% women are into online dating.

Skinny or Curves?
It may surprise some women that studies show that men are more attracted to the average female figure, as opposed to skinnier women.

Looks Vs. Personality
67% of single American men and 86% of single American women would pick a person with a big and honest smile than someone with great looks and a poor personality. What other factors are taken into consideration when picking the right date online? Statistics show that intelligence, self-confidence, optimistic attitude, and having the same hobbies/interests are of utmost importance.

Age
The same studies show that men prefer women who are a little bit older than them as opposed to younger women.

First Dates
According to another survey, 51% of single men had over six first dates in just a year. While 58% of single women on the other hand, had just about four dates in a year. Statistics show that 48% of first-dates usually end with a kiss and over 90% of single men/women were quite nervous making their first kiss.

Money
51% of American men spend over $100 a month on dates, 29% spend over $150, while 2/3 of women spend $50 or less in a month.

I'm tired of these supposed studies that are simply geared to make women feel better. Its all bullshit.
1) men want attractive women
2) men want younger women...dont believe me..go through 10 guys profiles and 9 out of 10 will be looking for younger women
3) men do like curves BUT not fat. fat women are NOT curvy they are fat. the average waist size of an american woman is now 16...which is fat. Women here just keep getting fatter, its gross.
4) the money thing is prob true.
5) the first date fact is prob BS
Sorry im not trying to be a dick but stop hiding the truth.
