Gendered attitudes to age on online dating sites (France, 2000s)

Age counts in dating, but women and men count it differently. This is apparent from the use of online dating sites.

Si l’âge compte dans les rencontres amoureuses, les femmes et les hommes ne le comptent pas de la même manière. C’est ce que montrent les usages des sites de rencontres sur Internet. La manière dont les utilisateurs s’approprient ces services – par la présentation de soi et la description des critères amoureux – révèle les significations différentes qu’accordent les deux sexes à leur âge comme à celui du partenaire. En prenant pour objet ces attitudes sexuées, l’article éclaire la place de l’âge dans la formation des couples mais souligne aussi l’inégalité des femmes et des hommes face à la conjugalité.
