Differences b/w people who met IRL and on-line (heard on the radio)
Study was done on how long it takes for people to get married and compared those who meet IRL and online.
Results: Those who meet IRL get married 40+ months after they meet. Online relationships get married (an average) of 18 months after they meet.
Shocking? Not shocking?
This was not news to me b/c a few of my friends who met online all got married within 2 years...2 1/2 years at the most.

Not shocking.
Not shocking to me but I would be curious to see the online dating sites that were included in the study. I feel like the free ones like POF may not have as many people who are really serious (this includes my experience on the site) as a site like Eharmony where people are way more serious about finding someone.
Like a previous poster said, IRL people who meet may start out a lot slower because they are friends or whatnot.
Agree with this.
Not shocking. Online, you get to the nitty gritty of your questions for one another and it is easier to be more personal prior to seeing each other face to face. IRL, it takes longer because we also focus on how we act and behave.
I also remember staying up late in bed and typing online spending a lot of time which is something I couldn?t accumulate all the online conversations in the first few date with an IRL person.
