OPW -- May 25 -- Hypothesis - 'Those who meet their partners via online personal sites are more closely matched than those who meet their partners offline. This closer match may result in longer, more satisfactory, relationships." No one has empirically tested this theory,apparently. James Wolf is an academic researcher, an Assistant Professor at Illinois State University school of IT, who is looking to partner with an online personal site to test this hypothesis. His goal is to survey men and women from several countries who have found their partners online.
I'm keeping a list of dating companies interested in working with academia, so please contact me if you're open to working with academics on such studies. And/or contact James directly at jrwolf@ilstu.edu.
