Love, Sex and Dating Articles
-> Internet Dating
The 21st century has come and
brought to us the high speed
of information and the strength
of the worldwide web. And, apart
from what many can think, it's
not here only for the benefit
of the new generation. The advances
of computer science have been
helping all kind of persons,
in all kind of subjects: business,
leisure, culture, sports and
- of course - the most ancient
of human ambitions: to find
a true love.
For long now, the dating agencies
have been trying to make this
dream come true. But, as usual,
internet arrived and made everything
more practical and easier. Nowadays,
there are hundreds of internet
dating agencies that invite
the person to register and find
what he or she are looking for.
And it works: the biggest internet
dating sites have more than
3 million people registered,
and this figure is increasing.
Besides, what attracts people
is the possibility of breaking
regional barriers, and the chance
of search for the most look-a-like
profiles - people that like
the same kind of books, movies
and sports… everything
can be relevant to these sites.
In the past few years, people
have changed their minds about
this kind of dating. If we were
in 1995, someone looking for
a partner in the internet would
be called desperate, or geek.
But things have changed and,
today, even high successful
people search for dates online.
The stigmas of the "nerd"
that can't get a date don't
exist anymore. Software like
MSN and Yahoo Messenger, ICQ
or even the Orkut network rendered
easier to talk with an unknown
person. The shy ones say thanks,
'cause in an internet chat,
or putting their profiles on
any online dating sites, there's
no need to talk face-to-face.
Everything is softer, what increases
people's confidence and their
will to be themselves - if it
doesn't work, there won't be
any frustration. All they have
to do is pick another person
and try again.
Of course, there are also risks.
Not always, the person is what
he or she claims in the profile.
There's a chance that the profile
is only to draw attention. The
picture can be an old one, or
even of someone else. You can't
exactly tell what the nature
of the other person is - there
are stories about girls who
set up dates with people they
met at such internet dating
sites and end up kidnapped.
But no one can deny that the
number of people who search
for their partners on the web
is increasing every year. It's
everything hassle free. Besides,
finding the love of your life
is priceless - even if he or
she lives halfway the world.
