While surfing around on the internet I have found a few interesting statistics related to online dating.
About 1/3 of Americans are single and of that about 42% of American singles have visited a dating site (around 40 million).
With Canada, about 42% of all Canadians have visited a dating site (roughly 15 million).
In terms of men verses' woman, there are roughly 85 single men for every 100 woman. This is close but it favors the men slightly. Most likely this is the case because there are more woman in the world and woman generally live longer.
So what does this all mean. It means good news for the online dater. Over 40% of singles use an online dating service. Since younger people are more internet and tech savvy I bet this percentage rate is higher for them!
