A new report says most Americans think online dating is a good way to meet people. Almost 60 per cent of Internet users said there is nothing wrong with trying to find a partner on the Internet. This has changed from ten years ago when the figure was 44 per cent. The report is from the Pew Research Center. It says around one in ten Americans has used online dating services. It also said 11 per cent of people who started a long-term relationship in the past decade met their partner online. However, some people think the Internet does not help with marriage. Around 32 per cent of people agreed that "online dating keeps people from settling down because they always have options for people to date".

最新報告表明絕大多數(shù)美國人認為網(wǎng)上約會是結識新朋友的好方法。有將近60%的網(wǎng)絡用戶稱在網(wǎng)上找對象沒有什么不好。而這比兩年前有了許多變化，兩年前的這一數(shù)據(jù)為44%，這是皮尤研究中心作出的報告。報告還稱10個美國人中就大約有1人使用網(wǎng)上約會服務。報告還稱在過去十年中維持長期關系的人群中有11%是通過網(wǎng)絡認識的。但是，許多人認為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)并不會對建立家庭有任何幫助。有大約32%的受訪者稱網(wǎng)上約會將無法讓自己穩(wěn)定下來，因為他們總是有許多約會對象。

Sociologist Dr Kevin Lewis of the University of California told the USA Today newspaper that women must be careful with online dates. He said: "For women, there are lots of guys who are just creepy or unattractive or undesirable." He also said men can have problems finding a date: "They can't get a woman to respond because [women get] so many messages." Dr Lewis also said that 38 per cent of online daters have read an online profile of someone they knew. The Pew Report warned people to be careful about those who tell lies about themselves online. About 54 per cent of online daters said they had a date with someone who was a lot different from their profile.

加利福尼亞大學的社會學家羅維茲博士在接受《今日美國》的采訪時稱女性必須對網(wǎng)絡約會保持警惕。他稱：“對于女性來說，有許多男性不招人喜歡，不吸引人。”他還說男性很難找到約會對象，沒有女性愿意去回復這些人，因為女性要回復許多信息。”羅維茲博士還說有38%的網(wǎng)絡約會對象會在網(wǎng)上閱讀對方的簡介。皮尤研究中心警告稱人們應該對那些虛假信息提高警惕。有大約54%的網(wǎng)絡約會者與許多簡介不符的人約會。
