Correlation between home Internet access and romance

[Jan]

Internet access at home could lead to romance

Adults who have Internet access at home are more likely to be in romantic relationships than adults who don't according to a study.

of course, with all that pr0n floating around romance tends to be a bit higher

I once made a test with eMule, I wrote in the search box "aartapels" and the scrolley bar shrunk with all the weird pr0n that came up, even pr0n about Hitler

Just over 82 percent of adults who have Internet access at home also had a spouse or romantic partner, compared to just under 63 percent of adults who did not have access to the worldwide web, the study presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association says.

"Our research suggests that Internet access has an important role to play in helping Americans find mates,"

That conclusion is a huge leap. Adults who are better off are also more likely to have a spouse, romantic partner, a home internet connection and more likely to eat out at restaurants. So does having internet make you rich? Or does being rich make you more attractive? Or does eating out at restaurants make you more internet savvy, etc, etc, etc...

You can't just leap to preconceived causes and effects as this study does.

It is just plain obvious that Internet access has a role to play in helping Americans find mates. Just tell us the percentage of couples who met online, and let us draw our own conclusions as to how important it is.

In other news, correlation does not imply causation.
