Armed Forces Day is this Saturday, May 21 and as we honor the men and women who serve our country throughout the world, we thought it would be fun to take a look at what people\u2019s romantic attitudes are toward military singles<\/a> who serve this country. After all, it\u2019s easy to talk the talk when it comes to respecting the sacrifices made by our troops, and there is that old adage that women \u201clove a man in uniform,\u201d but does serving in the Armed Forces really give you an edge when it comes to dating?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya. Oh ya, it definitely does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According, to the data collected from the popular online dating site Zoosk<\/a>, people who have served in the Armed Forces get way more attention and activity than the average online dater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After looking into the behavior of its members, Zoosk found the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– People who mention <\/span>active duty<\/b> in their profile receive <\/span>134%<\/b> more incoming messages than the average online dater. Those who mention <\/span>military<\/b> and <\/span>Armed Forces<\/b> receive <\/span>65%<\/b> and <\/span>22%<\/b> more, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– In addition, people who talk about <\/span>active duty<\/b> in a message get <\/span>54%<\/b> more responses than those who don\u2019t and <\/span>military<\/b> receives 29% more.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Veterans receive a lot of love while online dating, too. Profiles with the word <\/span>veteran<\/b> get <\/span>65% <\/b>more incoming messages than the average online profile.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-The individual branches of the military get their fair share of extra attention as well. Messages with the word <\/span>Army<\/b> get <\/span>24%<\/b> more responses than the average, <\/span>Marines<\/b> receive <\/span>18%<\/b> more, <\/span>Navy<\/b> 38%<\/b>, the <\/span>Air Force<\/b> 42%<\/b>, the <\/span>Coast Guard<\/b> 53%<\/b>, and the <\/span>National Guard<\/b> up to <\/span>69%<\/b> more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, it\u2019s uplifting that the online daters on Zoosk definitely have a little extra love for those who have served. And is it any wonder? This Saturday, as you honor the people in your life in the Armed Forces, let them know how much they\u2019re loved and appreciated.  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
