"  If you&amp;#039;re looking for a hot date, find out if one of your friends has a single man waiting in line. According to a study by SNAP Interactive, Inc, creator of dating site AYI, 41 percent of female users were more likely to connect with a man when they had a mutual friend.  Nearly 5,000 women have messaged their friends to learn about a potential date on AYI, and over 150,000 connections have been initiated by women when there is a friend in common. We&amp;#039;re guessing this could be because online dating is risky, so if we&amp;#039;d rather hook up with someone one of our own friends knows. Apparently, 55 percent of AYI users reported having a bad experience with online dating, and 56 percent their dates have lied on their profiles.  This is a slightly better way to approach online dating. What are your thoughts?  Want more from Ariel? Follow her on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
