This could soon become a common complaint within marriages as a  recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive found that more people are meeting their partners  online than at their place of work , at parties or through mutual friends , particularly amongst the over 45 group.

The online survey carried out for online dating service e-Harmony involved  more than 10,000 people who married in the US during an 18-month period in 2006 and 2007.

Nineteen per cent of the couples met online, according to the survey, compared with 17 per cent who met at work and 17 per cent who met through friends. A similar poll of almost 5000 couples who married between September 2004 and August 2005 found that 14 per cent met online, compared with 20 per cent at work and 17 per cent through friends.

In the current survey, 31 per cent of married couples aged 45 to 54 met online, against 18 per cent of 20 to 44-year-olds.

But before you rush off find your ideal partner  online  remember that the divorce rate in the US is currently about 50% , online divorces are on the up and up and the longevity of human relationships of all kinds is at an all time low.

Maybe its better to wait a few years until those lifelike compliant male and female sex robots roll off the production line ready to serve their human partners every whim..

The offline and online worlds are blurring not diverging.
