48% Of Women 'Screen' Prospective Dates

A new survey has revealed that 48% of women admit they research a first date on Facebook.

The results found almost an equal number expected to know a man's work status before their first meeting, the Daily Mail has said.

However, when it came to the men, 49% claimed that the practice of 'pre-screening' is "unacceptable".

The survey, which was carried out by dating website Match.com, also revealed that the so-called 'three-day rule' is no longer valid, as a 78% of men claimed they get in touch with their date before the 72 hours has passed.

More than 5,000 single people took part in the survey and almost three quarters said they thought it was appropriate to kiss on a first date, while only 22% thought it was okay to sleep with their partner.

Interestingly, almost half of women (49%) also admitted that they would cancel a first date if they discovered 'disturbing digital evidence' of their prospective date.
