1 The Net is just as good as church when you're hunting for a spouse. Seventeen percent of online daters have turned virtual winks into marriage or long-term relationships; that's 3 million people — the same number of lovebirds who've met in God's singles bar.

3 But don't sweat it, guys: Women don't care about size — remember, we're talkin' height here — as long as you clock ducats. A 5'8" beau can score as many dates as a 6' gent if he makes $146,000 more a year. And the ladies are equally attracted to 5'2" men who make $277,000 more than Mr. Lanky.
