A article posted on News3 says everyone more and more people are trying online dating. While this isn’t exactly newsworthy information, what is interesting is the stats they have come up with.

Men look at the picture and click, women tend to both look at the picture and the profile. It also goes on to say neither sexes like profile names that flaunt wealth – so names like “lovemyporsche” would not be a good name. Women over 65 tend to be pickier than younger women, and both men and women lie about their weight.

My favorite statistic however is thoat those who are much less attractive sell their personality more on their profile. How true is that one!

Of course as the article points out, if you can weed through all the exaggerations, online dating isn’t that bad and you might just find what you are looking for.
