Dating Online 365: The Recession Inspires Companionship

Dating Online 365 is shedding light on the effect the recession is giving to online companies. Among many of these companies are the online dating sites. Economists explore the reasons why dating sites might be prospering through such economic hardships.

Greg Waldorf, CEO of eHarmony, believes it's because people look for companionship in hard times. "People who have been single for years are suddenly focused on finding someone," he reports. "Going through difficult times with someone special is better than doing it alone." A recent survey conducted by eHarmony found that twenty five percent of women said stress due to the economy made them more likely to want a long-term relationship.

In addition, the company observed the number of visits to its site was higher than average on days when the Dow fell by more than hundred points. The online dating scene has become a definite plus with singles looking for emotional security in these tough economic times.
