Online dating romances last longer.
Friday, August 1st, 2008Researches announce statistics indicating that online dating relationships last longer than conventional dating methods.
One would expect online romances to end more suddenly in the absence of immediate attraction, similar social networks and demographics. Some studies have indicated however that the opposite is the case for online dating singles - singles who meet online like one another more!
McKenna, Green and Gleason 2003 also Bargh, McKenna and Fitzgerald 2003 both offered results showing that people who have reached the level of meeting and knowing each other well via an online concept, are not “blinded” by an initial attraction factor and as a result had more things in common. This may be because online dating permits the single to be discriminative and to finish relationships with unsuitable dates early on.
