Notes regarding Online Dating
by David Barth, written May 5, 2008
From page 48 of the May 2008 issue of Wired
- Seventeen percent of online daters have found a partner for a long-term relationship or marriage, for a total
of about 3 million people.
- In their online profiles, females generally claim that they are 20 pounds lighter than the average American
woman, and males claim that they are an inch taller than the average American man.
- As far as women are concerned, a man's lack of height can be offset by his income. The more a man makes, the
shorter he can be and still be considered a good catch.
