What are the benefits of Online Dating?
Online dating is now the second most common way couples meet. The first is still through family and friends but online dating is a close second. There are upsides and downsides to going about online dating and in this article we take a look at what the benefits are.
1. Less Pressure
One of the benefits of online dating is that you can view the profiles of potential partners in the comfort and privacy of your own home. You can comfortably browse through the profiles of potential partners without any pressure of having to meet them. That may sound a little odd but it is actually a great way to figure out if you and your potential date are even relatively compatible.
2. Variety
With greater access to more women from all different backgrounds and parts of the world, online dating has huge benefits over conventional dating. You can literally be dating while being half-way around the world. The convenience factor is gigantic in that respect. You can see what the education history or hobbies of someone are. Huge time saver, that one.
3. Anonymity
Another great benefit of online dating is that you don’t have to disclose any information about yourself if you don’t want to. This is obviously the same for dating in person but when you are face to face with someone it may be more difficult to keep everything to yourself.
4. Saving Face
Worrying about rejection is common for most everyone. Who would want to be turned down when asking someone attractive out on a date? In online dating, though, that concern mostly falls away.
Once you find someone you want to take out on a date, you send them the request, fall back and wait. If she happens to be interested, you will hear back from her and if not, you simply get to move on. Naturally, there is still some sense of rejection but it is a lot easier to handle than a verbal “no” being said to your face.
