Cruising without moving
“Twenty nine percent of the French and 21 percent of Filipinos have used the internet to find love, but over one third of people who aren’t online daters believe only “desperate people” use the internet to look for love, according to a recent global study by market research firm Synovate. . .The results reveal a fairly even match between those who think online dating is a great way to meet people (49 percent) and those who think it is a waste of time (48 percent) but show large disparities among levels of use and comfort between people of different nationalities. . .”
The survey also says Filipinos choose their correspondents on the basis of looks, but are convinced that people lie in their online profiles. Pinoys: odd mix of hopeful and cynical.
