The art of (internet) dating - year 2020

(1/38) > >>

BU508A:
Hello,

years ago Dave wrote a book about internet dating:
https://www.artofinternetdating.com/

Money quote:
"Though this eBook speaks of affairs of the heart it is addressed to your brain. This is a practical guide for searching, finding, evaluating and winning the mate of your dreams."

Dave brings some light in the more technically aspects of internet dating, e.g. how to use social media etc.

Now I was pointed to this article by a german blogger (Fefe, https://blog.fefe.de/ )
https://quillette.com/2020/01/16/all-the-single-ladies/

I have now the impression that in addition to the technical skills you have to have in mind some other parameters:
education and income.

Money quote:
"In other words, all other things equal, a man with a master’s degree is about twice as likely to get a match than a man with a bachelor’s degree. Perhaps something to keep in mind, if you are interested in obtaining a graduate degree and are active on Tinder."

The pattern in respect to the income is similar.
Money quote:
"Some women do marry men with less education, though. These women tend to marry men who earn more than them. A study by Yue Qian, a sociologist at the University of British Columbia, found that women who had more education than their spouses were 93 percent more likely to be married to men with higher incomes than themselves."

What do you think? What are your experiences in this respect? Can you agree with the findings of those researchers?

Best regards,

Mounty

 Never internet dated but my wife has more education than I do. And my daughter has more education than her hubby, so I would say that that part is often true.  My advice, always marry someone better then yourself.

I'd put that differently: marry someone who isn't (going to become) a burden. But then again love makes blind and stupid.

Gregg:
My advice is:
If you are not an only child, never marry someone that is an only child.

   That sounds like there is an interesting story behind that statement!
