As Valentine’s Day approaches, a new BBC World Service global poll suggests that almost one in three (30%) web users regard the internet as a good place to find a boyfriend or girlfriend.

The poll, conducted by GlobeScan among 10,976 internet users across 19 countries, suggests India and Pakistan are among the countries with the greatest numbers of enthusiasts for internet introductions.

Fifty-nine per cent of Indians and 60% of Pakistanis who use the internet regard it, according to the poll, as a good place to find a partner.

Other countries where high proportions of internet users feel the same way include Ghana (47%) and the Philippines (42%).

In contrast, fewer Americans (21%), South Koreans (16%), British (28%), and French (27%) think the idea of finding a partner online a good one.

The poll also suggests that, among internet users, men are somewhat more enthusiastic about finding a partner online than women – 33% of men regard the internet as a good place to find a boyfriend or girlfriend, compared to 27% of women.

Respondents aged 18 to 24 are the most enthusiastic (36%) but even among those aged over 65, more than one in five (23%) regard the internet as a good place to find a partner.

However, the results also suggest that those with a higher level of education are less likely to regard the internet as a good place to find a partner – 28% of those with a university education felt it was, compared to 36% of those who had not completed high school.

The results are drawn from a larger survey of public attitudes towards the internet, to be released on 8 March 2010.

The survey interviewed 10,976 adult citizens who had used the internet in the previous six months across 19 countries, and was conducted for BBC World Service by the international polling firm GlobeScan.

GlobeScan coordinated fieldwork between 30 November 2009 and 26 January 2010.

GlobeScan Research Director Sam Mountford commented: “This shows what a major role the internet now plays in the lives of millions of people around the world.

“For many, and particularly in the developing world, it’s not just somewhere to work, shop, or communicate with friends, but a credible way of finding a partner in life.”

This finding is part of a wider survey for SuperPower – bbc.com/superpower – a major BBC season of programmes starting on 8 March 2010 exploring the extraordinary power of the internet.

SuperPower will be examining the impact of the internet on all aspects of life including business, politics, democracy and empowerment, as well as relations between people in all parts of the world.

BBC World Service’s daily programme, Outlook, is turning its attention to ‘Netrimony’ and the role of the internet as matchmaker.

The team are on the hunt for global stories of love found online, and for first-hand experiences of those who have joined a growing international community of people turning to the web to find their perfect partner.

Dating and social network site BeautifulPeople.com has axed some 5,000 members following complaints that they had gained weight.

The members were singled out after posting pictures of themselves that reportedly showed they had put on pounds over the holiday period.

The site allows entry to new members only if existing members vote them as sufficiently attractive to warrant it.

The US, the UK, and Canada topped the list of excluded members.

The site has always been unrepentant about its selection process, calling itself “the largest network of attractive people in the world”.

The move was reportedly prompted by members themselves, who police the membership of the site to maintain a high – if highly subjective – standard of attractiveness.

“As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld,” said site founder Robert Hintze.

“Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”

In Helene’s words:

I was married for 31 years to a fine, gentle man and I lost him the end of 1998. I was then 58 years old . When I turned 60 my friends convinced me that I was too young (ha) to be alone. I tried the usual dating scene, but at that age it is not usual to see some old lady sitting at the bar, so I turned to the internet.

I joined several dating sites and dated, and/or met about 40 men. This was between the ages of 60 until 62.

I met so many diverse men that I just had to put it in writing. I was guided by a dear friend who was a writer for a newpaper in New York. Every one of these “gentlemen” were different, to say the least.

I describe them in my recently published book: Sex, Lies and the Internet. It is just not a HOW TO book, it covers the two years in my life dealing with some of the silliest men on the face of the earth.  It took several years to find a publisher, however it was published by Kirk House in Jan of 2009.
