Unless you've been living under a rock or on a remote island, you will know that online dating has become second nature and a choice by instinct for busy and smart singles.
We've all heard of the horror stories shared by the media and online dating reviews about liaisons gone wrong with online dating. Some pretty common bad experiences we sometimes hear about include people mis-representing themselves when comparing their real life appearance to their online dating profile. We hear stories about online daters meeting up only to discover their picture doesn't match them in person, or their profile picture is 10 years old, we even hear about cheeky online singles posting photos on their dating profile of someone else!
Ever heard how one bad apple can spoil the whole batch? With online dating, we don't hear enough about the thousands of successful outcomes experienced by technologically savvy singles!
In America alone, there is an average of 3 million marriages each year, with online dating accounting for an average of 360,000 of these marriages which is basically 10% of all marriages in America each and every year. So to those people who are inclined to knock online dating sites, you can hardly argue with this statistic. Then you need to factor in the de-facto relationships and casual relationships discovered through online dating, and we are realistically talking about over 1 million new relationships each year in America thanks to online dating.
And who could argue or find fault with the concept of online dating - the facts speak for themselves. If you know how to pick a non-genuine online dater, and have an eye for the real deal, the internet has an array of free online dating sites with real people. A recent media report from Australia claims that online dating usage is up more than 200% compared to last year (2008). And unlike many so called free offers we see around these days by marketing companies, a select number of free online dating sites are ad-funded and have no need to charge member subscriptions, so they really do offer the lot for free - free to browse - free to join - free to contact - free to chat.
Even though we can date for free online, some online singles prefer to stick with the tried and trusted established online dating sites, and are prepared to pay for their membership, which is fair enough, sometimes it's better to stick to what you know and trust especially when it comes to finding someone to share your life with.
Match.com is the worlds largest online dating site and charge their members a subscription to use their dating service which proves that many singles are first and foremost selecting their choice of dating service by reputation over cost.
How to Unpack Your Belongings after Moving House.
