July 2, 2013/in Date Stats /by Lily Rudolph

Hey Bagels! Last month my favorite stat-site, Statistic Brain released a set of fascinating online dating statistics. Since we love e-love, I want to take this opportunity to highlight some dating statistics with you!
71% of Americans believe in love at first sight — Since this is the age of e-dating, maybe we should modernize the phrase to love at first site.

40 million people in the United States have tried online dating. No wonder it’s becoming a social norm! 52.4% of online daters are male while 47.6% are female

At 26, Women have more online pursuers than men. By the time they reach 48, Men have twice as many online pursuers as Women.

Women lie most about: Weight, Physical Build, and Age Men lie most about; Age, Height, and Income

Thanks for the info Statistic Brain!
