Currently, 40 million people are using online dating services each month (source: ComScore Media Metrix) and a 51% growth in the industry since January 2003 (source:Hitwise).

Online dating is one of the fastest growing and most popular activities online.

Jupiter Research expects online dating sites to continue to grow from US $313 million in revenue in 2002 to an estimated $642 million by 2007 - over 100%.

In fact, the so-called "recession-proof" industry has hit record numbers every year for the last 3 years, the online dating industry. The target demographic for these services is the 83
million Americans that are between 19 and 45 and single. This trend has been on the rise since September 11th, an event which made people realize how important life is and how
personal attention can ad to your life.

The Personals/Dating category surpassed both Business/Investment and Entertainment/Lifestyles to become the largest paid content category in 2002 with $302 million in revenues, up nearly threefold from $72 million in 2001. Those top three categories - Personals/Dating, Business/Investment Content and Entertainment/Lifestyles - accounted for 63% of online content spending in 2002, up from 59% in 2001.?

The ?online dating? market has been expanding exponentially with the advances of technology, the broadening of our boarders through internet communication, the effects of 9/11 sending millions to the internet looking for real solutions and the successful emergence of strong competitors like Match.com and eHarmony.
