Interesting Tidbits about Online Dating
According to a Channel3000.com article, 10% of Internet users report having visited a dating site. That sounds low to me, even though it means 16,000,000 people. Of that group, 43% have gone on dates with people they have met on the sites, and 17% reported long-term relationships or marriage with those online dating partners.
According to a new study out of the UK (reported in cellular_news.com), less serious daters (in their terms, love-cheats, two-timers, and commitment-phobes) are twice as likely to use text messaging to arrange first dates. 67% of people looking for a serious relationship used their phones to actually call for that first date. The same study revealed break-up habits: 30% ended a relationship face-to-face, 22% used distance and the silent treatment, 28% of men and 16% of women ignored their soon-to-be ex, the phone was used by 16%, and 15% used email, 14% text messaging.
Medical research out of the Universities of Callifornia at San Diego and Los Angeles (via an article in the BillingsGazette) of nearly 67,000 Americans between 1989 and 1997 indicates that those who are married live longer. Divorced or separated people were 27% more likely to die than married folks, and widows and widowers were 39% more likely to die. Never marrieds were 58% more likely to die than those still married.
