| [00:00.000] | "So, where did you guys meet?" “ |
| [00:02.606] | New couples often face this question from eager friends who are keen to hear about the beginnings of their love story. |
| [00:09.292] | Increasingly, the answer is "on the internet". |
| [00:12.584] | Online dating is a booming industry, worth an estimated 2.5 billion pounds across the world. |
| [00:20.455] | So what is it that is making so many of us turn to our computers to find love? |
| [00:26.151] | In the past, love may have blossomed in the workplace or in the pub |
| [00:30.644] | and some brave individuals may even have agreed to be set up on a blind date. |
| [00:35.923] | But nowadays, busy lifestyles and the popularity of online social networking have changed our attitudes towards romance. |
| [00:44.054] | Internet dating websites have become popular as a way of searching for the perfect mate. |
| [00:51.054] | People who use the sites can search profiles of hundreds of single people, |
| [00:55.043] | and with just a few clicks can see instantly whether someone is attractive or not. |
| [01:02.653] | But are we becoming too dismissive of potential dates? |
| [01:06.536] | Site users can make snap judgments based on people's profile pictures |
| [01:11.186] | and don't consider whether they may actually have real things in common. |
| [01:16.132] | For this reason, some sites place more importance on personality tests rather than pictures to match users who may be compatible. |
| [01:26.146] | On one British site, single people complete a test of 250 questions |
| [01:31.004] | before the site uses complex algorithms to select suitable partners. |
| [01:37.570] | Of course, for some people, regardless of the technology, |
| [01:41.262] | the whole process is distasteful - like 'shopping' for a partner. |
| [01:45.893] | But as the growth in the sector shows, |
| [01:48.402] | there are plenty of singletons who don't have time for such romantic ideas, and are more than happy to pay Cupid for a strike. |
