Online dating is the second-most popular way for people to meet in the US, newly-released research has found.<\/p>\n
The convenience of the medium is one of the main reasons for its popularity.<\/p>\n
Harry Reis, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester – which has over 9,000 students – and one of the five co-authors of the study, noted the web has given courtships a "new and much needed twist".<\/p>\n
"The internet holds great promise for helping adults form healthy and supportive romantic partnerships," Mr Reis added.<\/p>\n
According to the investigation, the only way people are more likely to meet a partner is through friends.<\/p>\n
However, the researchers observed that comparing so many profiles can lead individuals to develop a "shopping" mentality and become too picky.<\/p>\n
Because of this, singletons have to make sure they are realistic when it comes to setting out what their ideal man or woman must have.<\/p>\n
