Dating and Statistics

Dating and Statistics

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.

What is not being taken into account in these figures are the numbers of women either looking for financial security or a better standard of living than what they already have. That is their prime motivation.
Then there are the huge numbers of women trying to find a temporary partner to re locate to a location with a higher standard of living. Both of these groups, whilst not being classed as financial scammers are non the less affecting the statistics mentioned here.
If these groups were removed from the overall total the true figures would drop to about 10% percent of serious women on the site as opposed to 90% men if that.
Most who use the site are aware of this as they only have to look at the number of serious replies that they receive coming from women other than scammers or those seeking to relocate for a better standard of living even if they already reside within Europe or the USA.
Common sense prevails.

I think that these surveys must be taken on a large scale...not just a hundred or a thousand but ten thousand or more, in different places. The above statistics help people, especially the Americans but a lot of other nationals date Americans on the net and they also must be taken into consideration for a correct result.
(as for me, i like older and bigger women...fat or no fat!! of course, i am divorced and alone since 1991 and started dating on line recently...a few months.)

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 d*ck but stop hiding the truth.
