Match.com puts up guestimation: “Millions of Relationships”
Match.com has begun to add sections onto it’s site, where it quite literally speculates, “Match.com estimates it has inspired millions of relationships. Millions of members. Hundreds of thousands of new relationships.” Even the biggest online matchmaking service sites only put out numbers like “30-40 marriages a year” or something small like that, so with that in mind, Match.com has gone out on a leap. Perhaps it is finally time that a matchmaking service has done so, as many people ARE getting married from online dating services, and don’t report it. Actually a majority of online daters probably don’t report their marriage that resulted from an online matchmaking service, dare I say, very few do. This is not because they are ungrateful, but simply because they either forgot, or just didn’t think it was all that important. Or perhaps they didn’t want to be dragged onto some TV infomercial (in case that’s one of you out there, don’t hesitate they do pay those people quite a bit of money, I imagine), back on topic though, Match is becoming the first to guestimate the actual impact the matchmaking website is having on creating relationships. It’s probably only a matter of time before we can expect others to follow suit.
