Women Want Younger Men

TIME - June 13 - AYI pulled data from its 68M downloads and 20M Facebook
profiles to see which subscribers are making successful matches. A woman
was five times more likely to show interest in a man five years her junior
that one who was five years older. Among men ages 30 to 49, 42% wouldn't
even consider a woman if she was older than him. However, if contacted by
an older woman, men wouldn't necessarily turn her down. A man is only 22%
less likely to respond to an older woman than a younger woman if she
initiates contact.

The Future Of Dating Is Mobile

FORBES - June 11 - Sam Yagan, OKCupid co-founder, is convinced that the
future is mobile. But even Yagan admits he hasn't figured it out. "There's
no effective app for hetero hookups, Yagan notes. One of the two apps
Yagan's most keen on tackling is dating through your social graph. That's
what Tinder, the mobile dating startup that Yagan's IAC/InterActiveCorp
Hatch Labs incubated, is doing. Tinder is now a standalone company and
IAC/InterActiveCorp is its lead investor. Tinder guys say they're
innovating on the whole process of dating itself. They've all experienced
difficulties around meeting new people and agree that rejection sucks.

The Economics Of Relationships

INDEPENDENT.CO.UK - June 11 - We tend to think that teenagers are now more
sexually active. that's really not true. Teen promiscuity rates have fallen
and there is an economic story behind it. It's become much harder for
people who don't go on to further education to support themselves. Teens
are responding to economic incentive. Divorce rates in the UK have been
falling for almost 10 years. They have now fallen to where they were in
1977. One possible explanation is how they meet. The Internet opens up the
market for dating and marriage, the pool becomes much bigger, which leads
to people searching for longer and searching for somebody who is more
perfect for them. Because women live longer we tend to think that they are
disadvantaged. Early in life we assume that women are looking for a
longer-term commitment and men for short-term relationships, but later in
life, women are actually looking for short-term relationships and it's the
men who are looking for the longer-term commitment because they're hoping
to find somebody who will take care of them when they reach old age. When
older people search online, the women are actually very picky whereas men
actually become much less picky as they get older. A lot of older men end
up with women who are older than them.
