What percentage of married people flirt via the internet?

Answer 1

About 20 percent of relationships start online. Basically 1 out of 5.

Answer 2

In a poll that appears to be from eHarmony (though it is reported on a UK website) found that 19% of married couples surveyed met online. The poll was conducted in 2006 and 2007 and surveyed 10,000 married couples. 17% of these couples met at work with the same percentage meeting through friends. In a similar poll conducted in 2004 and 2005, of the 5000 married couples surveyed, 14% met online, with 20% meeting at work and 17 percent through friends. There are no complete records kept on this sort of thing, but the percentages are low.

Answer 3

This is another question that correct statistics can't be given, but it's high. The internet is a great tool, but like all technology it has it's down side and in this case it's making people lazy and instead of meeting or flirting upfront with people one-on-one it's so much easier to do it over the Internet where people can't see you. It gives some people false security/confidence in themselves as well as titillating the other person and themselves. I call it "the chicken way out." The old fashion way of meeting people is still far safer and means more in the long-run than flirting over the Internet. Some people in this generation has taken all the fun out of a lot of things by doing it over the Internet.

Answer 4

It is difficult to provide an exact percentage as it varies depending on the source of the information. However, studies have shown that a significant number of married individuals engage in flirting via the internet, with some estimates ranging from 25% to 50%.
