Do 20 Somethings Use Online Dating

Do 20 Somethings Use Online Dating Cover
Do people in their 20s use online dating services? In a word, no.

A 23-year-old ALYSON SHONTELL discusses the very topic and says that if she were to sign up to an online dating site, her friends would make fun of her for doing it. So, she concludes, online dating must a generational trend.

In her opinion, what happens is that in your 20s, you have a very social life and myriad single friends who have other single friends. Then, as you approach 30, people start pairing up around you and your single friend options, as well as finding single friends to go out with, slims down significantly.

It isn't until your 30s that you even bother going online to search for love.

Even her statistical research proved that people in their 20s aren't bombarding online dating sites with their need for love.

So in their 20s, people use the bar scene and college to do their bidding.

The only exception are her Jewish friends who have memberships on JDATE. But, she argues, that's because there is pressure from families for them to find someone who is also Jewish, so that really narrows down their selection of mate.

So what about you? Do you agree with this assessment?
