It’s Raining Men, Hallelujah! Amen.

Local opportunities to find men range from local pubs to night clubs to singles events. But often the wrong kind of person is attracted to these locations including the married man looking for something on the side or a single man looking for a one night experience. So where can someone looking for a long term relationship turn to? Friends no longer encounter singles on a regular basis as most of their friends are now married. So many singles search long and hard for the right kind of person when they reach their late 20s and beyond.

Online Singles Sites

Online is where then men are. And Hallelujah it’s raining! Women on online dating sites are spoiled with a large number of eligible sincere options. Men face stiff competition online while women post their profiles and do not have to wait for the replies to roll in. Filtering out the ones that don’t seem worthwhile is the only thing for a lady to do. And many sites today offer free profiles and chat rooms to meet and discuss.

Online Dating Services Now a Billion Dollar Industry

 

Online dating services now have a subscriber population estimated to be over 1 billion. That’s an industry of over $1 billion USD per year with growth rates steady at 10% per year. North America alone has over 1,400 online dating sites, where they are the third largest industry.

Yet the online dating phenomenon is not restricted to the Americas or Europe, as Asians have embraced this love technology wholeheartedly. Japan has 1,600 online dating sites, even more than the US. India has 15 million subscribers, and that figure is expected to grow despite the economic crisis.

 

Perhaps the most significant growth factor has to do with the fact that more and more elderly people are dating online. 60 percent of women over the age of 65 and 30 percent of men of the same age group are expected to find dates on the web this year.
