Online Dating Survey: Intro

To get a small glimpse at online dating for young adults in southeastern Michigan, I conducted a survey and sent it out via Facebook to have people respond. I chose to distribute it via Facebook because of the large response I received when I asked questions to my Facebook friends about online dating, while trying to decide on a good topic for this this project.



The results from this survey are not nearly at all representative of young adults ages 21-30 in southeastern Michigan, but the results do support other research conducted for this project, and confirm some of my assumptions.

12 males and 21 females filled out the survey (one person decided not to share their gender.) The most common age for respondents was 24, with nine people marking that as their age. (This makes sense as I am 24, and sent the link to the survey out via Facebook.) Age 25 and 26 were the second most common ages, with 6 people each marking those as their age. With this being said, this very small sample is representative of young adults in their mid-twenties.

The following questions were asked:
  • What was your biggest fear or hesitation about starting online dating?
  • What kind of encounter have you had with online dating?
  • How do you feel about online dating in general?
  • How many online dating sites have you interacted with?
  • How many of your dating relationships have started online?
  • Are the dating relationships you've started online better than the ones you've
    started in "the real world," worse than them, or about the same as them?
  • What were you looking for when you started online dating?
  • How trustworthy are the people you meet on online dating websites?
  • Do you prefer online dating or "traditional" dating?
  • If you prefer one over the other, can you explain your preference?
  • If possible, please share a personal story of an online dating experience. Was
    it a good or bad experience? If bad, would you consider online dating again?
The survey also asked for age, gender, and zip code for demographical reasons.
