I wouldn't go meeting someone online. I'm sorry. Those dating sites are the worst possible thing invented by mankind. I don't agree with them. You're not shy to write personal stuff to a stranger over the Internet who you don't know what type of maniac can he be, but you're too shy to get up from the couch, go get yourself ready and get out and meet people.

I would agree.
I think these graphs also include people who have been on the internet for other purposes, and have made contact with someone who has later become their partner.

But figures do seem high for people meeting over internet. Strange, even scary.
