YAHOO.COM – Feb 14 – Stanford economics professor Paul Oyer wrote a book "Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Economics I Learned From Online Dating". The book chronicled his return to the dating scene as a single, 50-year-old man, which he came to understand as being much like the markets he'd spent a career studying. Oyer had three observations about the behavioral economics of being single:
- The perfect man doesn't exist, and if he did, someone else might have found him by now.
- Eligible men are indeed scarcer than available wome.
- Online dating has drastically increased the pool of eligible ladies and gents.
