40+
Singles ISO Love on the Internet?
www.aarpmagazine.org Offers Online Dating Assistance
It's a new dating game for 40+ singles,
and the Internet is one venue that is being embraced. With more older
singles than at any other time in the country's history, many are looking
for new outlets to meet people instead of the bar and club scene. AARP The
Magazine has new features to help singles with the latest dating
information.
AARP The Magazine surveyed single
Americans ages 40-69 to find out among many things, their attitudes about
being single, their dating behavior, their sexual activities and overall
look on life. To coincide with the new survey, AARP the Magazine's website
www.aarpmagazine.org will be featuring various dating information:
Personal Ad Maker An interactive
feature that will help walk singles through writing a personal ad;
Message Boards Topics will
include a list of places to go on the first date, first date tips and
first date horror stories
Guide Matchmaking resource guide
full of all sorts of ways to find a match on-line.
"Almost one in seven singles that
aren't dating say they'd start right now-if they could meet the right
person," said Steve Slon, editor of AARP The Magazine. "We hope
that the personal ad maker helps singles come up with the perfect
ISO ad that leads to the perfect date."
The "Lifestyles, Dating and
Romance: A Study of Midlife Singles," conducted in June 2003 by
Knowledge Networks, Inc. for AARP The Magazine, surveyed a nationally
representative sample of 3,500 single or unmarried Americans aged
40-to-69, as well as members of a large panel, who were asked to respond
to an electronic survey via a web-connected television in their homes.
