Alright. I saved one of the biggest questions of online dating for my last post. Does it really work? Can you really form a love connection with someone because you scanned their profile and then chatted online for a while? The answer would seem to be yes. The fact of the matter is that online dating can easily be as successful, if not more successful than traditional dating. There are more fish, and more easily accessible fish it would seem, in the online pool. It turns out that plenty of people that use online dating sites are even ending up getting married. Now, I wasn't really able to find any research on whether the divorce rates of couples who met online were higher or lower than those who met other ways, but I would imagine the rates would be at least roughly the same. I think most of the stigma surrounding online dating has to do with extreme cases of people lying about their identities and also with people not wanting to be seen as a "desperate singleton". Now, I definitely got some messages from some weirdos on my profile, but there were also guys who seemed genuine and actually just interested in getting to know some people. I think there probably would have been even more of those guys had I been actively seeking out other users or even using a site that cost money.
