used to be if someone was looking for that special guy or gal they'd have to put on their spiffiest threads and head
down to the local Fountain shop to try a bit of personal Congress but kids these
days are so hyped up on their microwave dinners and tennis shoes that they
prefer to spend time glued to screens indoors meeting new partners on Facebook
and dating online well at least that was the idea and the stigma about digital
dating services all the way back in the Year 2005 but according to the Pew
Research Center people today generally approve of the idea with approval rates
rising from approximately 40% to 60%
between then and 2013 not only that but
we also saw a decrease from about 30% of those surveyed to 20% for people who
believed that online dating was only for those extremely desperate types in fact
digital dating service has become so popular that huge groups of celebrities
are now openly admitting to using them but why is everyone in their grandmother
suddenly so turned on to this concept I mean it's not as if celebrities or
attractive young people have had a hard time finding companionship historically
a lot of why attitudes have become more comfortable towards online relationships
seems to be tied to society's increasing positive view of social media use which
has grown to include nearly three4 of
all internet users there's also a perception now that digital dating
services might actually offer more benefits than traditional courtships
about 60% of Internet users stated online dating was a good way to meet
people and a little over half when it's far to say that they're better because
they allow users to find potentially closer matches by opening up their
Playing Fields this perception that online dating sites and apps offer more
bang for their Buck is not an incidental one as many
services brand themselves on their ability to make Superior matches through
algorithms based on user questionnaires there are also many services which
specialize in Connecting People of specified societal sex such as those
seeking members of particular religion ethnicity or a copious range of very
specified and important criteria and of
course there are also those Services which allow the less particular of us to
choose based on simply a user's image and then swipe their finger with
attitudes towards online dating services on the rise coupled with the facts that
nearly 2third of All Digital Romantics are successful in landing a date and
that 11% of those married in the last 10 years met online and have lower Ates of
divorce it seems apparent that the dinner dates have become an Antiquated
concept like josting or Optical drives
well don't exit out and update your dating profiles too fast there are some
downsides to consider for instance although married couples Faire better
those in casual relationships which started online tend to do worse also
half of survey daters felt potential Partners had misrepresented themselves
online which is pretty good when we consider that 80% of users lie about at
least one factor of age height or weight
this is not to mention things like the study which claimed dating algorithms
are completely bogus or Services which
aren't necessarily as focused on creating interpersonal commitments as
much as they are about letting people get around them or rather trying to let
them in the end the decision between online and traditional dating is best
left to each individual if a person decides that having a go through that
stereotypical initial dating phase is better than risking their date not
turning out to be exactly whom or what they've suggested or vice versa they
