Top 10 Dating StatisticsBy Hanna Miller
No matter how you slice it, information is power. Even in an area as hands-on and touch-and-go as dating, information could easily make a world of difference. Knowing what to do and what not to do, what to say and what to mum up about, is all useful knowledge. In the world of online dating, there are quite a few statistics that will certainly come in handy if you're thinking about going the cyber route. In no particular order, let's go over the top ten dating statistics you should know about. One: Number of American Singles It's a hard thing to grasp, but there are currently over 100 million single adults in America alone. Two: Number of Americans using Online Dating Sites This is where statistic number-one really comes to life. Nearly half-over 40%-of the single population has signed up for online dating services. Three: Conventional Methods Becoming Less and Less Effective If you think that getting dolled up and hitting the town is an effective dating method, well, you'd be wrong. Only 2% of men and 9% of women are forging relationships from clubs, bars and the "dating scene" in general. Four: Single Women Outnumber Men Single women outnumber men by 15%. This statistic holds across the board, meaning the dating options are certainly out there. Five: It's Still a Look-First World Dating profiles with a picture get over two-times the responses, so folks dating in the cyber world are still interested in attraction. Six: Chivalry May or May Not be dead Around 51% of singles surveyed claim that flattery and complimentary behavior is the best way to attract a mate. It's far from an overwhelming majority, so make of it what you will. Seven: Cyber Breakups are "In" Even folks dating through conventional methods still enjoy using the Internet to handle their dirty work. Around 48% of all breakups happen via email. Eight: Money is Still King Experts have found that, even in the online dating world, the number-one cause of arguments in relationships is money. Nine: Online Impression Times Men can usually decide if a woman is worth the effort in around 15 minutes. For women, they usually give potential suitors around an hour to make that first impression. Ten: Big Cities House Multiple Singles This can be used by the real-world or online dater. Cities like New York and D.C. have very high numbers of singles. NY is pushing around 50% and the capital is holding at 70%.
