Why Do People Date Online?
By: Erick Shipmon, Fri Nov 4th, 2005
Once upon a time, people generally met their future spouses when
they were in high school. Then came the advent of the
practically mandatory four-year college degree and people began
putting off marriage until later... and later... and later. Now
it isn't uncommon for people to wait until they're in their
early thirties to get married, if they marry at all.
Unfortunately, it is a lot harder to meet people when you aren't
going out to football games and rec-room parties, so... enter
the glorious age of online dating.
Because gone are the days when online dating was thought of as
strictly for losers (or worse!). The Internet is the ultimate
singles' bar--without the noise, the drunks, and the high cost
of all those not-so-happy hours. Nor, thanks to online dating
membership sites, do you have to depend on your friends and
family to hook you up with people they think would be perfect
for you--and who wouldn't be perfect for, well, anyone, which is
why they are still unattached.
But that's not true of you. You're savvy and know that online
dating makes it possible for you to connect with a lot more
people a lot quicker than you could any other way. You'll find
that person who's perfect for you yourself, thank you very much,
Aunt Myrtle. After all, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and
online dating is an absolutely wonderful way to weed out the
guppies from the sharks.
Because you do need to be cautious when connecting with other
singles online. It almost goes without saying that most everyone
stretches the truth a little, and it takes some practice to
learn what to look out for. Actually, online dating personal ads
are a lot like classified employment ads. You know, that ad that
says a company's looking for eager, go-getters is really after
people who are willing to work 16 to18 hours a day for low pay
and even lower appreciation.
The same is true for lots of online dating ads. Women will most
likely fudge a bit about their weight, and guys are likely to
add a few inches of, um, height. More serious lies happen, but
not as often as you might think. These days, most people are
trying to find more than just dates online, they're looking for
long-lasting relationships and use online dating sites to help
with their search.
You may have some ho-hum dates that you've connected with online
before you find the man or woman of your dreams. This isn't
necessarily because there are more ho-hums who are involved in
online dating than with conventional dating, but that the pool
of dates is much larger for online dating, so you actually date
more or at least have chances to date more--and hey, that's a
good thing, right?
