almost everyone tested made up their minds as to whether or not they were attracted to someone. First impressions really do count. 6) It Takes A Couple An Average Of 6-8 dates To Start Seeing Their Relationship As Exclusive Sounds about right, though we don't exactly encourage counting dates to figure out where you stand with a person. Just go with whatever feels right! 7) Speed Dating Was Invented By A Rabbi In 1999 According to my sources, Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Los Angeles invented speed dating as a way to get busy Jewish singles to meet each other. The concept quickly spread, and the rest, as they say, is history. 8) Studies Have Shown That Women Tend To Be Attracted To Men Who Wear Blue Blue tends to be the favourite color in America, Australia and Europe, and is associated more than any other color with friendship, sympathy, faithfulness, and confidence, so that might be a reason for this. Either way, the Blue Man Group seem to have it made. 9) Immediately After Tiger Wood's Affairs Became Public, Men Looking For Discreet Relationships Online Dropped By 47.5% Sometimes, a statistic tells it all; in 2009, every cheating man in America had exactly the same thought: She's going to look through my browser history. For better or worse, they escaped by the skin of their teeth, but we blame Tiger Woods with indirectly sparking thousands of fights between couples four years ago. 10) The Curve Of The Counter In A Bar Is Designed So Other Customers Can Easily Check Out Other Customers And here I thought it was just an elegant design pattern. Things are now starting to make sense. Same goes for those big mirrors they have behind the counter - they're to help you check out the people behind you.

You still have to go to work with them the next day. 12) On Free Dating Sites, At Least 10% Of Accounts Are Scammers Keep your wits about you, ladies and gents, because there's a good chance that the attractive individual looking for love on that dating is not who they say they are. If you are arranging a meeting, always do it in a public place and never give out any personal details like bank accounts or your home address. If you feel that you have encountered a scammer, report them immediately to the website you're using. 13) Research Shows That It Takes Women 14 Dates To Know If They're Falling In Love, While It Only Takes Men 3 Let's face it: Men are creatures with short attention spans. They frequently lose interest in something quickly after getting it. The flip side is that, when they decide they like something, they get fixated on it quickly. So women, stop trying to win your man, but men, don't give up! 14) According To A Recent Study, People Are Twice As Likely To Find A Date Through Friends And Family Than Bars Or Clubs Makes sense...after all, you like your friends, your friends like this other person, so there's a pretty good chance you'll like the other person, right?
