Love 2010 - 2011

In the next section of the report, we explore the state of the nation when it comes to dating, romance and love – and explore a new breed of realistic romantic, the ‘Pragmantic’.

(Heart)Broken Britain?

The Future Foundation trend, The Myth of Decline, tracks the well-supported camp which insists that as citizens we are less content than we used to be; that we have less time and more stress on our hands; that families and communities are not as strong as before; and that marriage and personal relationships of all kinds are on the rocks. And yet, much of the supporting data in fact demonstrates a counter-argument – that we have more time than ever before, that our relationships are healthy and robust, and that family life is strong.

Encouragingly, the findings of the LoveGeist Report back up this counter-argument – far from abandoning long-term relationships in favour of a more temporary approach, or choosing the many distractions in life over love, we see that: A massive 93% of the UK’s daters are looking for a long-term relationship 80% say that having a long-term relationship is important or extremely important to them (see chart below) – this is evenly split between men and women A fifth of daters (rising to 29% of men) say that finding love is the first priority in their lives Nearly half of respondents agree that having a happy love life is more important than their career Nearly 50% would change where they lived in order to fMatch.com - Everyone knows someone who met on Match.com.

There is also a sense that the search for love has taken on a new power, that finding a relationship is a fundamental part of life. As relationship expert Kate Taylor explains:

“[The UK’s singles] are looking for love a lot more proactively than in the past. Love is no longer seen as something that ‘just happens’ to people – we know that we have to put a bit of effort in, especially now as more of us work from home and community social events (like dances, discos etc) have stopped.” Match.com - Everyone knows someone who met on Match.com.

a picture of the women and men looking for relationships across the UK, what they want
from a partner, likes, dislikes and much more.

The Female of the Species

Love comes in every shape and size! But looking at a cross-section of over 75,000 recent female match.com
members, the ‘average’ female dater today2:

Is between 25-30 years old – making up 22% of the sample

Is around 5'5'' tall (15%)

Has dark brown hair (31%) and (40%) blue eyes – and rates her eyes as her best feature (53%)

One of the most common occupations for female daters on match.com is within the field of medical, dental
and veterinary (11%) – these are often hectic jobs, perhaps outside major cities, leaving daters little time or
opportunity to meet new people. Medical professionals looking for love are most likely to live in Northern
Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Female daters in London are most likely to work in
financial services (11%).

Respondents were able to tick multiple options within preference listings, choosing one or more than one response from a number of different characteristics and physical attributes. The figures shown here relate to the proportion of the sample who chose each response.

When it comes to what women want from men, we analyse the multiple choice responses of female match.com members and discovered that women are looking for a guy who terms his body shape as ‘average’ (90%), with short (97%), dark brown (89%) hair, blue eyes (84%) and an easygoing manner (86%).

Other preferences: It would seem the blond Brad Pitt look has rivals in the hair stakes – 59% of the female sample would choose a blond man, 75% would go for a smouldering black-haired look, 73% like light brown and 38% lust after the George Clooney salt and pepper shades. In addition, 56% like a man with cropped or shaved hair, and 26% would go for a bald head

The male waif look is out – only 38% would choose a slender man, almost the same proportion as would choose a man carrying a few extra pounds (34%)

The eyes have it – 78% of women like attractive eyes in a man. Also high in the popularity stakes are an attractive smile (77%), a good bum (35%) and good arms (27%). Only 4% choose a man based on his feet 86% of women want an easygoing man with a good sense of humour. 75% yearn for someone thoughtful, 74% admire a man who is sociable and 73% look for reliability.

When it comes to enjoying their spare time, women tend to be most interested in a man who enjoys eating out and travelling, with very little age differential – these interests appeal to women of any age. Younger women prefer men who are into movies and music, while women aged 50+ are more likely to go for a man who shows an interest in gardening.

Boy, Oh Boy

And taking a look at a similar sized sample of the male dating population, we see that the ‘average’ man on match.com: Is between 25-30 years old (24%) Is 5'10'' in height (16%) – 22% of the sample is over 6ft in height Categorises his body type as average (46%) – more than a quarter(29%) say they are toned and athletic Has dark brown hair (31%) and (40%) blue eyes Is also easy going (43%), although perhaps less sociable than women (4%) Is intelligent – 53% have a degree (compared to 15% of the male population of the UK4) Enjoys travel above all other activities, followed by movies, conversation and eating out Is most interested in movies and videos and travel.

The multiple choice options of recent male daters sample reveal that they are looking for a woman who is average in build (86%), with shoulder-length (93%) blonde (87%) hair and blue eyes (88%). Easy-going women are attractive to men (89%), as are those with a good sense of humour (80%). While it would seem that gentlemen do prefer blondes, dark brown and light brown brunettes (85% and 78% respectively) also feature highly. 79% like a raven-haired woman and 59% like a redhead The flowing locks of celebs like Cheryl Cole and Penelope Cruz have inspired a penchant for long hair -the majority of men like a woman with shoulder-length (93%), long (90%) hair or very long (65%) 85% of men like a slender body type, and 80% love a toned, athletic body. Happily, 65% would be content with a lady carrying a few extra pounds As with women, men go for a lovely pair of eyes first (77%). Also high on the ‘like’ list are smile (76%), a cute bottom (54%), nice legs (52%) and 13% like a nice belly button. Match.com - Everyone knows someone who met on Match.com. Now it’s your turn.

UK Dating Market Has Never Been Healthier - Despite Economic Climate

---

The UK dating market has never been healthier – despite (or perhaps because of) a tough economic climate, Britain’s singles remain optimistic, upbeat and active in their search for love. match’s websites average in excess of 2.5 million1 site visitors each month.  

Match.com - Everyone knows someone who met on Match.com. Now it’s your turn. Search Now!


The findings of the LoveGeist Report indicate a strong desire among the UK’s dating community to find and nurture long-term love. Some of the key findings include: 93% of daters are looking for a long-term relationship – rising to 97% among the 18-30s. Love is clearly an aspiration for the vast majority, particularly for those just starting out on the road to a long-term relationship.

Despite the plethora of negative news coverage about the state of marriage in Great Britain today, only 13% of daters say they actively don’t want to get married in the future – and once again, younger daters are most positive about matrimony, with nearly 80% of singles within the 18-36 age group expressing a desire to get married in future.

Interestingly, having children together (37%) is seen as a bigger symbol of commitment than marriage (33%) for the UK’s daters. We would argue that this is in many ways reflective of a new era, with more options and choice for long-term relationship formats open to singles today. We will investigate this in more detail within the report.

The LoveGeist Report has uncovered a new breed of dater – Pragmantics (or pragmatic romantics) – 25-40 year old singles who tread a delicate balancing act between the realities of everyday life and the desires and aspirations of finding true love.

Love ranks a healthy third in a list of nine life priorities, beating friends, social life, career and personal ambition, and just after family and health (first and second priorities respectively)

When it comes to what daters are looking for in a long-term partner, we see a strong desire for security and safety, with “someone I feel secure with” ranking most important, above sexual compatibility and shared values. We will explore later in the report the impact the recession has had on daters’ emotional responses
Via the innovative Romance Barometer, we have identified a core of older daters – singles aged 55+ who are upholding the traditions of romance and exploring opportunities for a new relationship. Do these Old Romantics have a thing or two to teach the younger generation about good, old-fashioned wooing? Match.com - Everyone knows someone who met on Match.com. Now it’s your turn. Search Now!

Two thirds of single parents say they struggle to meet new people in their everyday lives, and nearly half say bad experiences in love have made them wary of looking for a new relationship – indicative of a growing “parent trap”.

Online Dating Personals Ads

Imagine yourself being an individual who loves to hunt single men and women for online dating dates, desperately trying to have that dream date. You try to find your luck on different parties, signing up for different get-together activities of other dream date hunters, and asking your friends or relatives if they know someone who can throw some of his/her time on a date with you.   Positive Singles


Despite all the efforts that you have shown, still you find that your online dating life is quite unsuccessful, or worse, very disappointing. Sometimes, you ask yourself about the things that you have not tried doing before to come up with a successful online dating experience with someone.

Is there any lacking ingredient to the recipe you are cooking at this point?

There are two things that you need to do to avoid repeating the failures you once experienced in your online dating life. First, you just continue your strong will and determination in seeking the right partner that you want, whether you want him/her to be your friend, lover, or real partners for life. Looking for that individual in a consistent manner will always yield to a positive outcome later on. Just be patient—the right person always arrive at the right time.

Second that you probably missed is expanding your search. If you failed on the parties, on various get-together activities, and your friends, do away with it. There are still other alternatives for you out there. Remember that you are now in the 21st century, where even finding your dream date is "automated".

Yes! It is the Internet that will help you come in contact with individuals of your interest whom you did not meet in the existing circles you have previously moved before. You are already given the widest range of option through online dating by interest, race affiliations, gender, and others. Probably, it is time that you go away with the 'traditional" process and start hunting using the "automated" process through online dating.

If you will engage yourself with online dating activities, you will be provided with the necessary tools which you can use to come in contact with available singles out there of your interest. One of which is writing personal ads which bears some basic information about yourself as well as things that you are looking for in an individual.

Maybe you will come to think that it could just add to the frustration and disappointment that you have felt before. Yes, even in online dating, there is still a possibility that such things can happen once again. On the other hand, writing the best personal ads will put you back on track and will guarantee your success in your quest for a date.

What are the things you must remember to translate your online dating personal ads into success? Have a look at the following points to ponder.

• You are writing your personal ads to catch the attention of the individual whom you think is compatible to you. You will always look for similar things between you and the individual of your interest such as goals, lifestyle, religion, and others. Always place the information of who you really are and who you are looking for—it will help you draw the attention of the "birds with same feathers as you have".

• Be sincere in every detail that you will place on your personal ads. If you are serious, then show the serious side of you. Always be honest on everything about yourself—traits and desires for the date or mate that you are looking for. Keep in mind that there are individuals who will read through the lines that you place on your personal ads more than your image posted on the ads.

• Scripted personal ads? Do not try to be a Hollywood star—write the personal ads that make the reader feel like you are just talking to him/her. Do not write ads that are scripted or following a certain pattern just like in a movie. Remember that finding a mate is an adventure—not a script.

• State in your personal ads who you really are. Highlight the positive aspects of your personality and leave the negative aspects behind (the past is already past). This will enable you to draw the attention of the individual whom you really like.

Give your online dating personal ads a serious thought first before posting it on any online dating site. By doing so, you are guaranteed of the success that was once lost when you were still going to parties, get-togethers, and asking advice from your friends.
