[2007-02-16] Skeptical about looking for love online?
Skeptical about looking for love online? A new study by Prof. Jeffrey Hancock, communication and information science, and Catalina Toma grad lays out the truths and misconceptions about online dating. Toma and Hancock decided to try a new research technique to match up the daters’ profiles to their actual appearances: they weighed them, measured their height and obtained their age from their driver’s licenses. This method differs from earlier studies because the researchers are actually taking the measurements themselves, instead of asking the participants to come clean about their measuremen [...]

[2007-02-15] Can Social Networks Cut In Dating Market
Not enough love in your online dating world? If so, you haven’t looked very hard. From the biggies, such as Match.com, eHarmony, Yahoo Personals, to smaller, niche Web sites like ChristianCafe.com, JDate (for Jewish singles), sites that offer match-ups, hookups and dating prospects are, well, blooming.

[2007-02-15] Web sites drawing the highest percentage of male visitors were those geared toward gay men.
Heterosexual men looking for love online on Valentine's Day -- or any other day, for that matter -- may want to consider which sites are most popular with the opposite sex. For straight women, well, that may not be so easy. Although the number of people visiting Internet dating sites is split almost evenly between the sexes, they're not visiting the same sites, according to Hitwise, an online competitive intelligence service. Almost 51% of visitors to the most popular online dating sites monitored by Hitwise last week were male and just over 49% were female. Of the top 100 dating sites mon [...]

On this Valentine's Day, a new sign that love, and being in love, is good for your health. Researchers in Italy - where else! - discovered that women who felt insecure in their close relationships had weakened immune systems. Lab tests showed that their disease-fighting cells were less powerful than those of women who were in more stable love relationships. Whether this makes a person more vulnerable to disease isn't known - yet. However, doctors now want to find out what ailments might be linked to this weakened immunity. The findings are published in the journal Psychosomatic Medic [...]

Private-equity and technology sources told Reuters on Wednesday that Match.com, owned by InterActiveCorp, has already secured Love21cn.com, one of China's biggest online dating services, as its main target for a potential stake purchase or business partnership.

[2007-02-15] It's a single-minded town On Valentine's Day, a high number of women go it alone
Perhaps Cupid has declared the city a no-fly zone. One in four citizens is an unmarried adult woman, well above the national average — and no other metropolitan area in the state comes close to touching Eugene's high numbers.

They cite the area's demographics, coupled with a strong local reflection of social trends that are lowering marriage rates nationwide. In 2005, 60 percent of women over age 18 said they were living without a spouse, clearing the national average of 48 percent, ac [...]

A recent analysis of census figures found that for first time in the U.S., more American women are living without a husband than with one. The 51 percent of women in 2005 who said they weren’t married is up from 35 pe [...]

"I've been in the matchmaking business for 16 years," Ivan Thompson said. Thompson is a cowboy-turned-cupid who specializes in romances that span the border. It all started with his own search for love. "I was divorced and lonely, and I gave birth to this thought, 'I'll run me an ad in the Mexico paper: Gringo looking for a Mexican wife.'

"She takes my hand and puts it here between both of her hands like that, innocent but very warm g [...]

[2007-02-14] LOVE is big business in SA, with more than triple the number of internet dating sites than in 2004 and annual revenue of about R40m
Ramon Thomas, MD of internet research house NETucation, admits this is small change compared to the US, where internet dating sites bring in $500m annually, but he believes technical advances and indications that internet users will increase to 8-million by 2010 could see it becoming a lucrative business choice in SA.

This Valentine's Day, more lonely hearts than ever before will use mobile dating services to make a personal connection, according to analysts and mobile dating companies.

[2007-02-14] IMBRA: Time To End Feminist Destruction Of Marriage
Feminists’ success destroying marriage in America, and exporting it to many foreign nations via the United Nations under the guise of “Democracy” is now legendary.

Not only did the outgoing Congress ignore the will of the people in reauthorizing VAWA last year, it added a dangerous anti-marriage known as IMBRA – the International Marriage Broker Regul [...]
[2007-02-14] Online dating ought to make Valentine's Day easier for singles. And for those who have clicked their way to love online, it has. But replacing serendipity – or a blind date – with the power of matching algorithms and countless choices isn't necessarily
The reason? Maybe the old breakup cliché applies: "It's not you; it's me." But in this case, it's not just "me" but "all of us." The way we humans have traditionally chosen a companion offline seems to be at odds with the way we do it online – and although technology changes quickly, we do not. Millions of us look for love online, but the critical difference in how we connect via the Internet is only just beginning to be understood. Consider the element of choice. A generation ago, a single in search of romance might encounter a dozen or so potential partners. Today, he or she can choos [...]
