Online Dating? Why Not?

Although the question of if online dating really does what it promises is still relevant, the statistics prove that it remains one of the most effective tools in coupling people. So, let’s take a look at some new online dating data. Do you know that:

• There are no gender differences when it comes to profile exaggerating. Both men and women tend to lie about their age, financial status, living conditions, and, of course, their weight. But don’t worry it happens no more frequently than in real-life where we also may face the same problems (except for the dramatic weight exaggerating of course).

• Couples who found each other online usually get married about 18 months after their first meeting in person. And the couple who met offline spend together for about 40 months before wearing wedding rings.

• Since 2006, more than 16% of married couples have met by using one of the online dating services.

In spite of the fact that there are a lot of places where we could meet our soulmates like restaurants, offices, parks, and many other public places, we still find it very difficult to find someone to spend all our life with. Even being surrounded by thousands of opposite-sex people we may feel lonely. And here online dating seems to be a magic key in a process of looking for love and romance.

The attitude to online dating is being changed A lot of paysites that have appeared within this decade do a great job in the sphere of users’ safety. Moreover, if a person agrees to pay for an online dating service, he/she is more likely to look for serious long-term relationships, than those on free sites. This encourages more and more people to use matchmaking services in order to find a perfect partner. And this tendency is already statistically proven – according to Online Dating Magazine over 280 thousand marriages are a result of online dating.

Online dating helps to find really compatible partners The overwhelming majority of credible online dating networks use special compatibility tests. These matchmaking tools are aimed at checking the level of compatibility of different users helping them to find their perfect match. Without such tests, online daters would have to browse through millions of other users’ profiles which would make the process of matchmaking very time-consuming.

You’ve got the opportunity to get to know someone before meeting them offline In real life, you’d have to go on a lot of dates before finding a person who at least slightly meets your criteria of an ideal partner. By the way, dates take a lot of time, energy and, of course, money. Going out even monthly with different people you haven’t met before may lead to a lot of wasted evenings and total disappointment.

Thus, before rejecting one more offer from someone met online, just think that you are losing a wonderful possibility to meet a faithful partner or a good friend who’ll be glad to share his/her life with you. Just be cautious and listen to your heart. Good luck!
