- Men were represented slightly more than women (54% are men, 46% are women). The 25-34 age range comprise the largest age segment of online daters at 28%. More than half of online daters are people who have never been married, followed by 37% who are legally separated, widowed or divorced. 12% are currently still married.
The data is from GfK MRI’s Survey of the American Consumer, for which the company interviews 25,000 U.S. adults each year about their usage of approximately 6,500 products.
