Dating online myths
May 15th, 2009 | Author: Confessions
Men are only after one thing – Well there are millions of men profiles out there so it stands to reason that some will be only looking for one thing. But there are women too in the same boat (hopefully they find each other) There are sites that actually only gear towards the no strings variety. So too there are sites that is clearly dedicated to dating and relationships. So if you were on the no strings look out would you wade through the relationship sites hoping to find what you want or would you just head for the right section?
Going on a dating site looks like you’re desperate. – If that’s the case then there are millions of desperates out there. In today’s society were people are busy for normal social lives, dating sites are becoming the norm. You’re not the first and you defiantly won’t be the last to try a dating site. Brace modern technology and be thankful of having more ways to find an ideal partner.
My mum might see my profile – well if your mum see’s your profile and there are two answers to this. Hopefully you’re sitting down so it’s not a shock. Your mum is either genuinely out there dating, now if you thought she was happily married to your father then this might raise issues if you mention it. Secondly – she is gay. Think about it.
Serious relationships don’t happen online – hah I have proof otherwise on this one. I have had serious relationships that started online and a friend is still living with her online date. So it does happen.
It’s not safe – It’s as safe as you make it. If you decide to set your self up with 7 dates a week and not tell anyone then you are being more of a risk taker. Dating sites are fully aware that safety can be viewed as an issue so they offer anonymity whilst you’re on the site. From the hidden safety of your home you can pick and choose who you want to converse with. If you don’t want to talk them then you don’t have to. If you hit it off and decide to meet up then please do follow common sense safety and make sure someone knows where you are and with who .
You couldn’t have said it better! I agree with all of your points, but most especially on the last argument that it is up to you to make your online dating experience safe and on the second one about being desperate.
Why? The people who actually gets burned online are the ones who are the ones who did not prefer to keep some of their privacy to themselves. While about the being desperate part, well if that’s true, I guess the figures would say that more than a half of the US’ single population is quite desperate, because that’s the number of online dating site users USA have.
