It's not nearly as strong as before however a certain social stigma still raises its head from time to time regarding dating or finding love on the internet. A recent survey has gone into this subject in depth with a focus on men and found some very interesting results which we'll look at in this article.

It showed that 98% of men genuinely looking for love online were wanting a long term relationship and that almost all of those same men desired to achieve a balance in their life between their careers and a rewarding love life. A large percentage of men also indicated that they considered it sexy if the woman earned more than them which is contrary to the popular belief.

Regarding the qualities men look for in women online the number one quoted was kindness. It appeared that most men were wanting to establish a strong friendship with a partner in their relationship and that it was considered the ideal foundation for love to blossom from. Over half of the men surveyed had been cheated on in previous relationships and the same amount believed in love at first sight.

On the subject of women sleeping with a man on the first date, roughly half indicated that they would enjoy it but would not consider that same woman as potential marriage material. Men still substantially outnumber women when it comes to dating online however the gap between the sexes has become considerably closer in the last few years with regard to this particular statistic.
