As we all know, online dating can be very tricky. Some of us who use online as a source of dating have been very successful and are now possibly married with the love of their life due to dating online. Of course, others have tried this exact idea and have been very unsuccessful. Some people are left to be lonely, frustrated, confused, and some have had fatal cost due to pursuing dating online. Now in this blog, there will some knowledge and perks towards the us of online dating.
One of the perks towards online dating is the access it allows us to have. This allows us to psychologically find the type of person we personally are looking for. This is known to be one of the main reasons people decide to date online. We have the chance to hand pick the kind of person we are looking for in terms of appearance, personality, hobbies, career goals, and many of other factors. Also this allows us to reduce to emotion of being rejected by people we are interested in because we are comfortable in our own homes and possibly have not met the person we are trying to pursue. Also due to the fact that there is access through many different social medias and there are many different people in each one, we tend to care a lot less in rejection and are actually more willing to disclose personal information to people online because of the sense that this person doesn't us and if all fails we will possibly never see this person ever. Another perk this has is the money it saves us. We no longer have to have a first date with that person our cousin fixed up for us at a bar scene or the typical movie theater date. Also if all fails, we are able to find another person ten times faster than wasting time going out to the world to find a potential partner. There are also cons to the amount of access we have. We tend to go deep searching for the perfect mate rather than starting a satisfying relationship. Most of the time, we will never in our lifetime find the perfect mate for us psychologically. But we tend to find someone that satisfies us ways most others can't. This thought persuades us to attempt to find the perfect mate. Not to mention, a lot of the profiles that people try to use too portray themselves are not fully correct with their real life personality. People tend to use their profile in a strategic manner to persuade people that he or she believe would be interested in that kind of person. This leads to an error in the actual real life meeting because these people have now met on incorrect beliefs and terms.
Another perk of dating online is the sense of communication. This can be a source of safe interaction because your are usually within the walls of your home or in a place where the receiver is unaware. This allows the messenger and receiver both to feel safe communicating through social medias and potentially wanting to meet in real life to lead into a successful relationship. The cons to communication online is it is now missing some of the important cues that portray attraction to another individual. Some of these cues are blushing when your partner says something worthy of this facial reaction. Although there are now emojis to sometimes cover these issues, you can never be fully sure that these feelings have the correct intentions or are genuine because it is a message rather than the actual person participating in these actions. Another one of these cues would be touching because the person is not in front of you to participate in this kind of interaction.
One of these most important cons to online dating is you are now possibly prey to predators that use online as a source of bait. Many people in the world have been killed and the main source for the predator to complete this satisfaction is by using online dating usually with false profiles to lure people into his/her trap. My advice would be to be careful with the kind of information you give out to the world as you are dating online or for any purpose online. Anything that is put into the internet can no longer be taken back.
