I have been helping a friend out with his graduate studies on the dating habits of the public in the information age.  He is doing it as his research product for his Masters in Sociology.

I would have never thought of doing such a topic, but honestly, I think it is a really good idea.  The fact that he couldn’t find any studies that have been done in that area of research almost guarantee that his work will be published, with the opportunity to continue to study it in more depth for hid doctorate.

In order to help him out, I have bought an e-book about free online dating, so that I could get the mindset of a person considering using such a service.  So far the read has been interesting and educational - I can’t wait until we develop some sort of experiment to measure the results.  I think at that point, the work will become really enlightening.
