The computers have won. More people are finding love online than through actual people. In 2014, only 25% of singles met their last date through a friend, while 32% met through a dating site.
As ways of meeting people and finding love has changed, so did perception. It's 2015 and this isn't a Katherine Heigl movie. Girls ask guys out first, and guys dream about marriage and babies. Also, senior citizens are getting off more than you. (Sorry.)
To break the misperceptions of singles in the U.S., Match.com compiled data from 2010-2014 and provided Mashable with commonly held myths on sex, love and dating.
The list comes on the heels of Match's fifth annual Singles in America (SIA) survey, the largest and most comprehensive study of single men and women that examines their lifestyles, interactions, behaviors and beliefs when it comes to everything from love to sex and relationships.
Though Match releases the survey, it is not based on users' profile data. More than 5,675 singles ages 18 and older were surveyed for this year's SIA, led by Dr. Helen Fisher and conducted by Research Now.
