A recent survey carried out by a global research firm called Synovate found that 2 out of five online daters in the US say they meet their long term partner or spouse through the internet. The average spend is around £100 per year although this is dropping with the rise of social networking sites.
Even more surprising is that online daters are starting to look past photos when deciding who to chat to. In fact, 40 percent say they mainly rely on the personality in the written descriptions, while 33 percent just want someone that meets basic criteria such as shared hobbies and interests.
Of the single people who haven’t tried online dating, 33% say they avoid it because it could be dangerous.
