Whereas 10 years ago a few desperate souls looked online to find love, much to their own chagrin and the concern of their family and friends, online dating has today become an enormous part of the dating scene, and indeed has spawned very successful industry in the dating market. The perks of online dating are enormous. Here are just a few:.
1) Broader market- Christina H. of Eagle Point Oregon met the love of her life while playing scrabble on Facebook. Stuart who was born and raised in Ireland, has now moved to Oregon to be with his new love. .
2) Level playing field for those with physical impediments- Christina is an intelligent, funny, well read, educated woman, who everyone agrees has a wonderful personality. She has a pretty face, but she tips the scale at nearly 400 pounds. While a woman this size has a chance of meeting a "chubby chaser" on the internet, the chances of finding such a man in real life in her locale are slim to none. Most men will overlook the wonderful things about Christina and never give themselves the chance to fall in love with the woman she is. Stuart, a fairly corpulent man himself, is a bit of a shy computer geek whose prospects for relationship were equally hampered before logging on and finding the love of his life. .
3) Faster sifting with less invested- In real life, when relationships go south or when the parties simply don't click, often separating the two parties can be dicey. People in real life generally meet in workplace situations, or in similar social settings, or because of mutual friends. It's hard to simply cut bait. On the internet, you can generally click ignore and move on. If it doesn't work out, all you have lost is time. .
4) Intimacy happens more quickly- While physical intimacy is impossible online, core intimacy happens in the mind among people who are communicating. In real life, a couple can slow intimacy down by involving themselves in a movie or a game.
