50% of Brits use online dating sites
A survey carried out by Topdates, a UK based internet dating service, has found that out of 3000 people who took part in a questionnaire all about interaction with dating sites, that a whopping 83% have been on a dating site at some point!
It then found that a third of those registering finding a long-term relationship and a quarter still going strong. And just to throw in a happy ending, six per cent got married.
A spokesman for Topdates, who undertook the survey, said: “Internet dating is becoming more and more popular in our fast moving world but it’s a sad state of affairs when people say they are too busy to go out and socialising. However, it can be a great way to meet people online and you can search for people who are into similar things to you or who live nearby.”
The question you may be asking yourself is ‘why’ is it becoming so popular in the UK?
Online dating is a worldwide phenomenon, it makes it so easy for us to find a suitable mate because most sites automatically profile people for us, saving us time – a very valuable commodity to us these days. It also provides us security in our own homes, think about it – we don’t even have to speak to them to set up a date, perfect for all us shy folk.
