Some indication of the numbers of singles now using online dating.
Incredible statistics.......The average age of these users? It would seem 18-84 and the average person using internet dating has a university degree or similar. The split between men and women users seems to be even. So these are not sad or stupid individuals. Why this phenomenal success of online dating? As everyone leads busier and busier lives the opportunity for traditional link ups become less, but equally online dating is the reversal of traditional pick ups where physical attraction is King and compatibility and suitability a very distant second. Online dating is the reversal. People can search through their wish list of characteristics, personality types, educational qualifications, life style etc., etc. Plus they can see through photo exchange if there is a physical attraction. When these people eventually meet they almost know each other! Andrea Baker a professor of sociology at Ohio University says that her research shows the longer the two people communicated before their first face to face meeting, the better the encounter and if the chemistry is right the relationship can very quickly move to a deeper level. So in many parts of the world today online dating has become the norm rather than the exception. In 2002 wired magazine forecast that within 20 years the idea of seeking ones partner, or love without looking online will be akin to travelling form London to Moscow without a map. Yes not very wise..jpg) It would seem the story in Ukraine is quite different and that online dating is in decline, viewed with suspicion and even fear. This is a great pity. Confidential Matchmakers hope to change the opinion within the Ukraine of online dating. Based on a European model Confidential Matchmakers exist simply to present the possibility of international connections between Ukraine/Russian women and men from all over the world (Confidential Matchmakers will shortly be presenting the same opportunity to Ukraine and Russian men). There are no hidden agendas and their need be no doubts, fears or, suspicions. The members choose with whom they choose to communicate and with whom they would feel happy to meet. It’s as simple as that. So come on Ukraine, wake up to the possibilities and opportunities presented by the World Wide Web. What is the great attraction worldwide of Russian/Ukraine women? Quite simply their exceptional beauty, their way above average intelligence and level of education and the high level of elegance, cultural grounding and feminity.
