Wooo! What a relief!
I thought this title said 'SEX EBBS AT 45 AND UP!'
I was
NOOOOOOO!!!
But it's all good. I reread it and noticed something about 'satisfaction' and then I understood.
Can't speak on the rest of it, but this part is understandable and not that surprising. But this is slightly contrary to the fact that married people are suppose to be happier (or was it just healthier?) overall than un-married couples.
Internet dating ain't that bad, I dipped my toes into the water of that. It has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that it's still predominately the domain of white folks, so you'll find PLENTY of white folks there. If you're into IR dating, you'll find more than your fair share of white people to choose from. But don't be totally fooled, most of those whites are still looking for a white partner too. If you are black, over 40, and want a black partner - it might be just that harder to find one at an online dating service. You likely have a better chance at meeting a brotha or sista at the bus stop - no lie. Or well... that were I met a lot of 'em anyway.
If you into Asians, Latinos and that - well they were looking for white folks. Not to many on there looking to date their own group or black folks.
The sites I dipped into were free sites, but from the information some people gave, the paying sites had the same people as the non-paying sites. However, I did note that free sites have a lot more young people (those under 30) than the paying sites. I think the young folks are using the free sites for fun and games and that... while the paying sites might maintain the more mature (as in age, not character) crowd. But you never know - might work for whomever who wants to try that regardless of if a non-paying site or paying site.
