Success Rate of Online Dating
Whether you’re new to the scene or having a hard time meeting someone on dating sites, you’re probably wondering what the success rate of online dating really is. Every site will boast figures that simply aren’t true. It’s marketing at its best, and at the same time, can be quite misleading.
Online dating is a broad niche. We’ll take a look at two of the major types of online dating; Relationship sites, and hookup sites. A hookup site is used by adults looking to share an uninhibited night of lust with someone and move on without having to commit to each other in any way. Relationship sites connect two people seeking love and long term relationships.
The success rate varies quite a bit between the two.
Let’s first take a look at what the actual success rate is for those seeking love and romance online.

When using hookup sites, free or paid, women have an almost 100% chance of finding someone. Whether they’re using a free hookup site, or a paid one, whether she’s hot or not, there’s a VERY slim chance she won’t have her inbox flooded within minutes of signing up. The following results are compiled from polling 5000 men on hookup sites.

The obvious reason for the enormous difference between the success rate of online dating using free and paid hookup sites is simply because of the male to female ratio. Paid hookup sites often offer women free membership and this balances out their database in a big way. Men using hookup sites with a connection guarantee made up a big part of the green in the last chart and they almost always hooked up within days or even hours of signing up.
There has been a steady upward trend over the years and the stigma of online dating is finally gone for good. Whether you’re single and looking for love, single and looking for a quick one night stand or attached and looking for a discreet affair, there’s no better place to find what you’re looking for than on online dating or hookup sites.
