“Match.com estimates it has inspired millions of relationships.”
As a way of gaining new customers no less, online dating behemoth Match.com has proclaimed that it “inspired” millions of relationships. Normally I would be skeptical, but if you look at the math they are probably right.
Match.com currently has 15 million registered members, and of those, it would definitely be within the realm of possibility to assume 2 or 3 million have met and started a meaningful relationship. I personally have a formerly divorced relative who found a new mate on Match.com and got married, and think it would be within the realm of possibility to assume anywhere near a hundred thousand such marriages have taken place, granted the more recent nature of online dating means a majority of inspired marriages will show up years down the road. Still, no one can deny the connecting power of Match.com and other online dating services.
