Online Dating : What Are The Advantages For A Woman Like Me?

In the nineties, online dating was a brand new idea. Unlike today, most people did not own PC's or even have access to the internet. The times they have are a changing. Nowadays, online dating is not only IN the mainstream, it IS the mainstream.

There are many reasons for the phenomenal growth of online dating sites and the number of people, men and women of all ages, races and religions who use them as their primary source for meeting people and looking for "the one". If you don't believe me, just ask your friends in the "real" world. If they are honest, most of them will tell you they have or are using an online dating service.

Here are three good reasons why thousands of people sign up for dating services everyday:

A Womans View: The Internet Date Versus The Standard Blind Date

A Womans View: The Internet Date Versus The Standard Blind Date

Online dating blind date Your friend has decided that you need help with your social life so she sets you up with a blind date,a friend of a friend of a friend. You, foolishly, accept. Now there you are. It's less than one hour since you were introduced. You are sitting in a Thai restaurant and you hate Thai food. The entrée has not yet been served. His idea of enlightened conversation is who will be in the final four,you aren't into sports. He knows the weekly TV schedule verbatim,.you haven't sat through a movie in months because you run marathons and volunteer at the local food bank. He says, Volunteering is a waste of time because you can't help 'those people' anyway. You look at your watch; see that it's only been 10 minutes since you last looked at it the last time and wonder how long it is before you can gracefully remove yourself from the situation. Been there?

(1) You can be anonymous. This is even better than the fake name in the bar. You will never be required to give your real name, address, email address, phone number or place of employment to another online user. You, of course, may do so but only at your own discretion and only when you feel completely safe. You are not required to post a picture of yourself. Posting a picture, however, will get more responses to your profile. So you can surf through the other members on the dating site you have joined with complete anonymity.

(2) You have so many more choices online that you do in your brick and mortar world. Skip the bar flies and hit the pages. Before the world of online dating came of age, the choice of friends and even of lifetime partners was limited to those we came in contact with through college or work. No more...the world is your oyster. You can go through hundreds...even thousands of profiles to find the right man for you.

(3) The "safety factor" is the biggest reason of all. An online dating service will never reveal your personal information. You get to choose who has that information and when they have it. You don't like what you see, just click away from it.
