Brit Reach Dating Milestone But French Go One Step Further

DATING MARKET RECAP: 7 DAYS ENDING 18 SEPT 2012 There were two interesting news items this week: one showcases a major dating milestone reached by Brits while another has the French turning dating on its ear. Online dating has been revealed to be big business here at home, according to a recent survey: it turns out that more than lb9.6 million was spent on dating websites than it was last year, leading to almost one out of every three people meeting each other through an online dating service. The lb9.6 million represented a 6 per cent growth from 2010s figures, leading to last year's total turnover at lb168.5 million, mostly due to aggressive advert campaigns. The UK is one of the strongest markets in the entire eurozone as far as strength and diversity of dating websites. In fact, there are around 50 sites hosted in the country which boast more than 100,000 members, a serious milestone for anyone keeping track of such figures. However, our neighbours across the Channel have once more found a way to confound our efforts, thanks to a new dating site that gives women the ability to shop for new men like they would for a new set of clothes. Called Adopte-un-mec, which translates roughly as 'adopt a bloke," the French dating site recently opened up a new storefront in Paris where there are men posing in shop windows. It's a groundbreaking new system to say the least, and it's one that puts the power back into the hands of women who no longer have to wit to be chatted up before going on a date. Not only that, but any bloke who sets themselves up looking like a piece of merchandise in a shop window is bound to at least have a rather good sense of humour and isn't afraid to make fun of himself - and let's be honest, nothing conveys sexy like a good joke, right girls?
