It's now very common for researchers (both professional and amateur) to use dating sites as a way to make generalizations about wider behavioural trends. The results of one study, for example, implied that opposites don't find each other quite as attractive as that well known saying suggests. Another one, on the other hand, seemed to confirm some national stereotypes that many would say were false.
And here's another one, which has to be one of the more bizarrely specific dating site surveys of its kind. The results show "a direct correlation between the value of the car a man drives and the length of a date, including the probability of a second date".
Well, it's hardly surprising. It's pretty well established that women do find men with social standing and material possessions more attractive. Still, the survey's focus does seem to be very narrow, even considering the nature of the dating site itself.
