Online dating is extremely popular in today’s society. It is
a very convenient source for meeting new people. Especially for those that are
extremely busy with work and do not have the time to go out. Online dating is
also very helpful for those who do not trust people as freely as others. Online
dating is better for those because you get to know the person before you
actually meet them. The relationship is built over time, and trust eventually
comes, at least some sort of it.
One thing about online dating that I found extremely
interesting is the fact that people who are more willing to trust people are
less likely to use online dating. Once I heard the explanation for this –
“People with more trust do not need online dating because they are more likely
to meet someone in person, and give them a chance”. I am not saying that they
do not use it though. I just found this extremely interesting.
In today’s society online dating is amazing. Like I said
before, it is a convenient task for people who are extremely busy with work and
do not have time to go out to bars and on blind dates each night looking for
Mr. or Mrs. Right. Online dating allows them to meet people when they have the
chance to. Online dating also gives you the chance to express yourself the way
that you want others to see you.
But with a computer screen between you and the other person
it brings some negative thoughts to your mind. With online dating it allows you
to hide your true personality. It also allows you to hide exactly what you look
like. With today’s technology you can modify anything on the computer. If you
want to loose 5 to 10 pounds no problem. If your butt is not big enough, no
problem it can be modified. There is nothing you cannot change on a computer to
make yourself look better. Just like the commercial we watched in class that
showed us how to take multiple pictures that make ourselves look better. We
need to make sure that we really no who we are talking to. But how do we know?
I believe there is no true way to find out if the person we are talking to
online is actually who they really say they are, the only way is trust.
Overall online dating has revolutionized our lives. It has
opened up so many doors to meeting people. It has become extremely popular with
cell phone apps that allow you to swipe left or right to people you would want
to hook up with, and those you would not hook up with. These apps include
Tinder and Hindge. Which is an app that you can control who you see. You can
modify the age, gender, and distance in miles for the people you want to meet.
In this app you swipe right if you like the person and left if you do not like
the person. This app is only good if you are judging the person by appearance.
Then the other app is Hindge, which is almost like tinder, except for the fact
that you are connected to the other person through your friends on Facebook.
This means that the person you are meeting knows at least one of your friends
on Facebook. Hindge only allows you to see 15 to 20 people a day, which makes
it more interesting. With tinder you can swipe left or right all day long.
These apps are great for people who are not in a relationship. If you are in a
relationship it can cause extreme negative effects.
Online dating is very useful in today’s society. But we need
to make sure we are using it for the right purposes.
