What seems like a simple way to find your other half, can seem like a total waste of time when utilizing it. Online dating brings simple features that allow you to build a profile to attract the opposite sex or same sex, plus it breaks down a percentage of your interests as well as the interests of others in order to narrow your search of finding your opposite a lot easier. With so many features in order to help you find love it seems very impossible. Many websites are misleading and try to con you into purchasing a membership by pursuing you with fake robotic messages from unreal users or even advertising an array of unreal users that will never respond.
Another harsh reality about online dating is that many users use it for the wrong reasons, such as to help mend a previously broken heart, or simply to look for sex! I compare the free online dating sites to a school dance where both men and women are standing on opposite sides of each other, yet none wanting to make the first move which stems from going into it with high expectations of the opposite.
I remind you that if someone is on an online dating site their obviously not having luck finding love in their personal circle, so why must something like online dating have so many complications. It seems like the better option would be to utilize Facebook in a similar way because with Facebook at least you can see the users pictures, plus who that user associates themselves with versus a dating site that only allows users to promote themselves which can result in a higher chance of being cat fished by someone pretending.
The key to being successful with online dating is finding that good site and actually paying to use it, but finding that site is very hard because there are so many that falsely advertise, so my advice is to avoid the free dating sites because you are more likely to encounter that user using it for the wrong reasons, which may result in a broken heart.

Using Tinder doesn’t lead to more casual sex if you’re already looking for it, a study finds http://fortune.com/2018/05/20/tinder-casual-sex-study/
I don’t date via that way, so no idea. Haha!
Nowadays that’s good, Tiada
Very interesting topic! I think that meeting someone online is not a bad thing, but the actual relationship should develop in real life. I know people who met online and have long-term and seemingly successful relationships. I also agree with you that many people seek dating online for the wrong reasons.
It boils down to the person, and finding that person that’s actually looking for a relationship versus that one that’s looking for something temporary.
I never tried it. I do believe only a few people blossomed their relationship through online dating. c”.)
I’ve heard of a few of those, but finding true love on a website is like looking for a needle in a haystack
I agree. I had seen some cases that people put their lives in danger.
I was actually considering adding that in this riding, but I left it out. I also found a list of the worst cities to do online dating.
I also found out that some dating sites pay their dates. I am sure you had heard about this concern. c”,)
Wow! I have never heard of that, but I’m assuming it has something to do with them requiring or hoping that the couple would spread the word or their success
Actually, it is a bad site that encourages prostitution online.
One of those scammer sites I see. That’s not good
Woman accused of stalking Paradise Valley man she met online; sent him 65,000 text messages https://www.kgun9.com/news/woman-accused-of-stalking-paradise-valley-man-she-met-online-sent-him-65000-text-messages
I’m afraid there are so many false profiles and I do not need it.
After watching the show ‘Catfish’ its scary to consider it with the possibilities of being led on.
You have that right. I would never try online dating simply because I know in my young days I could go out with a guy and spend half an hour with him and already know if we attract each other or not. This is because I can see him, listen to what he has to say. perhaps have some laughs and be able to form an opinion. This cannot happen with online dating. Online dating does get glorified by Hollywood in such movies as You’ve Got Email and then people want to try it too and are greatly disappointed by the outcome.
Exactly, RasmaSandra. And thank you for sharing your input. I actually need to watch that movie ‘You’ve Got Email’. I will look for it on Redbox this week.
Actually I don’t like online dating. I find it difgicult to trust someone. However, that’s a nice article! ?
Thanks, Elena. I love your writings. They bring total new energy to Virily : )
Ohh thanks for your lovely words! appreciate!
