Dr. Dato’s Brief:

This article talks about the merits of online dating and is followed by several people contributing to their online dating experiences.

I would agree with some of the posts that says that you cannot put down online dating because of the types of people that you meet on the sites. Like anything you need to wade through all the ‘undesirables’ to find your ideal match. Several commentators have found success with online dating whereas others have given up trying.

The bottom line is that online dating can work but you need to be alert to the fact that the medium of online dating allows potentially anyone socially inept, rich, poor, sociopaths, young, old etc. to register to the sites. Therefore, you are likely to find an entire community of people on the sites and you simply need to filter through them patiently to find the right person.

I think some people are possibly too quick to judge and give up easily. We tend to live in a world where instant gratification seems to be the norm.

are we too quick to judge online dating sites?
