Match.com has just put out their third-annual “Singles in America<\/a>” study and it contains some pretty interesting information on how people are using social media and the internet in their dating\/sex lives.<\/p>\n

Probably the most telling piece of data collected in the study is that nearly half (48%) of all women surveyed do some Facebook digging on their date partner before the date begins. Only 38% of men copped to doing pre-date Facebook research and 49% said that the practice was “unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

Women are also more likely to be turned off by what they find. 49% said they would cancel a date based solely on information unearthed by their Facebook research. Only 27% of men said that they would cancel.<\/p>\n

Both women and men are aware of the need to “clean up” their Facebook profiles in order to put their best online foot forward (26% and 27%, respectively).<\/p>\n
