Desperately Seeking Love Online

In the latest issue of the Synovate's InFact story, I found something quite interesting.

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.

French ranked no.1 in the list does not surprise me. However, I find it quite amazing to see an Asian country ranked no.2 there!

These are the countries surveyed in the study: Brazil, France, Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Romania and the United States.

Singapore ranks the lowest of all with only 4% ever used the internate to find love. I think this probably is an underclaim. My childhood friend actually found her Singaporean husband through the internet, and she is now living in Singapore. Her husband is quite a traditional guy, but still the Internet hit him, so I guess the rate could be a lot higher than the 4%.

In fact, there are some good quality and free online dating sites available. The features are as a good as any paid dating site yet it is really 100% free. No credit card is ever required. If you are one of those seeking love online, why don't you pay a visit there?
