According to the Digital Market Outlook (DMO) by Statista, the country with the largest share of adults paying for a dating service is the United States. At 26.4 percent, over a quarter of Americans are spending their money on trying to find love (or a sexual encounter) online. The DMO analysts classified ‘dating services’ as either ‘matchmaking’, ‘online dating’, or ‘casual dating’. Making up the top three were the UK and Germany with 20.8 and 17 percent respectively.

Wow. 26%? With people everywhere you look, people have to pay to find love? Maybe adults are scared shitless to approach another adult in a romantic way for fear of offending? Especially at work I assume.

El Doggy said men should date often and weed out the useless women, the gold-diggers, lazy party animals, the entitled, self-centered, immature, vacous bitches.

Dating services may be a way of saving time and weeding out those types.

It’s generally not real love they are looking for anyway. It’s more like acceptance and someone to hang out/hook up with. Even on the so called Christian dating sites.
Sacrifice, which is the definition of real love, is the furthest thing from their minds. 1John4:7,8

Isn’t dating supposed to be the prelude to marriage? I ran into an article about the reason we marry. It says our brain is hardwired to marry.

BB, with that low of a bar, you should have been re-married long ago.
I thought your pun “think outside the box” was pretty good considering the subject.
Then again, I laughed out loud when I read your, “you are guilty before me and god…” comment.
I have a low bar for humor, as you can tell.

+25%? I can’t believe it. I will talk to anyone anytime.
Well, almost anyone. Be fearless, say hello.
I never perused or cared about any dating site.
That is an amazing statistic. No wonder retail is kaput,
people are spending on Amazon and dating services.
Advice: most men don’t want fat women dressed in too tight
crap clothes. Be thin, wear your pearls.

I find it hard to believe as well. I told my wife once that if I had never met her and I was young in this day and age I would run the table. I know I would have more than 2 kids for sure. Seriously though, there are thousands of ways to meet people without paying. I feel sorry for anyone who can’t find someone. Always told my son never be afraid to talk to a girl, all they can do is say no. And no is like music to your ears as every one gets you closer to yes.

I just can’t picture Norm running the table. Were you talking about playing pocket pool?

These sites cost 50 cents a day. Many people spend more on coffee.

Interesting graphic.. Most of those countries have a lot of ((Feminism)).

Marriage strike is coming within the next 5-10 years. Men are NOT going to be playing the marriage 2.0 game for much longer.

Women, good luck trying to find a decent man to marry.

((Who)) caused this?
