Pretty Graphic: Online Dating by the Numbers

Posted on by ronschott

Saw this on Mashable earlier (via OnlineSchools.org), but had to make a couple comments…

When they say that online dating is bigger than the porn industry, are they talking about the ENTIRE porn industry or just online porn? Also, I was a bit saddened that they mentioned the average visit time to a dating site, but not to a porn site (22mins. vs 2mins. probably).

The average dollar amount spent on online dating was somewhat useful. When I figure that I could be spending less than $250/year trying to find the love of my life on Match.com rather than spending $100/weekend at the bar, the ROI for online dating looks a lot more robust.

Also, great choice with the creepy-ass bear to represent the 1 out of 10 sex offenders using online dating to meet people. You spelled meet wrong, it’s MEAT.

Enjoy the pretty graphic!

    The number one thing you lie about is the amount of pedobears in your apartment.
