I've decided to organize the statistics and facts into two main areas.
Once considered a realm inhabited only by the socially awkward, online dating is now just another tool in the toolbox, no matter whether you’re looking for a hook-up or your soulmate.....
To explore this topic, I pulled aside two individuals who I knew were hunting for a long-term relationship using online dating websites, and asked them about their experiences with the services.
The first will deal with the general online dating industry as a whole.
The second are will be for actual dating services and be divided accordingly.
She told the women that the shorter men included a doctor, a best-selling author, a champion skier, a venture capitalist who’d made millions by the age of 25.

Some of them can be cute but they’re less dateable than their more physically gifted counterparts. Being 6ft doesn’t automatically make you sexy and, in fact, short men have the edge over their gangly giant counterparts in many ways. They’re perfect kissing height Anyone who’s tried to cop off with a really tall man knows about neck crooks and the slightly wrong ‘little girl’ feeling of having to stand on your tip toes to get anywhere.

They’re the life of the party Tall men, as a rule, seem to think they can waltz into a social situation and demand respect in return for the fact they happen to have a freakishly tall parent. Shorter guys, however, have had a life of working harder to be noticed, meaning they’re friendlier, more fun to be around and usually surrounded by a gaggle of girls. They have great posture No one struts like a shorter man making the most of his frame. They’re better at hugs Trying to hug a tall man is a bit like trying to embrace The Spinnaker Tower – everything’s in the wrong place. They hog less space Oh look, tall men seem to say, look on my 6ft stature and despair.
The two services used by these individuals were OKCupid and Match.com, two of the largest and most popular dating websites on the Internet.
What I learned from carrying out an interview of a female and the interview of a male trying to dig into this intriguing subject was that using the Internet for dating is equally painful for men and for women, but for very different reasons.
