Why online dating?

why do people do online dating? i don't understand. don't people get scared or wonder if that person is lying?

Why online dating?
I think it's stupid. Everyone's going to lie on those things. If you've got a pot belly, are you going to say that? If you're 40, you're probably going to lie and say 35 or something. It's set up for people to lie. Even married people go on those and pretend they're single again. It's a mistake waiting to happen.





What happened to the real world anyway?

Reply:I think online dating is perfectly alright as long as you are wary and cautious. I know a number of people that have found love and happiness over the net, and no the guy didn't turn out to be an axe murderer. I don't think people should knock the idea. I know a few gals in their 30's who really want to get a bf/get married but they have no way of meeting a guy. They frown upon internet dating so single they remain. Internet dating isn't much more risky than meeting someone at a bar or club. Sure people can lie easier on the net, but people lie in person too. Just take things slow, talk to the person on the phone, stop if things seem shady and go from there. It's the dating wave of the future.

Reply:YOU ARE RIGHT MANY PEOPLE ON DATING SITES LIE ABOUT THERE AGE AND IMAGE ABOUT THEM SELF'S ITS JUST TIME TO GO OUT IN TO THE REAL WORLD AND MEET SOME ONE YOU TRULY LOVE THREES NO LOVE IN A KEY BOARD AND MONITOR
Reply:Well online dating is normally private so people can be themselves a lot more than being nervous in real life, I myself think online dating is stupid, but people can show who they are on webcams to prove themselves so they would be sure they were'nt lieing, but mostly online dating is simply for more privacy :)
Reply:Good question I wonder about that too.
Reply:Yeah, I see your point, people you meet in a bar never lie. But on a serious point, you can meet a lot of people in a short amount of time with online dating. Of course the risk is that the more people you come into contact with, your odds increase that you might meet someone disingenuous. Online dating is as safe as any other form of dating so long as you use basic common sense, like meeting in a public place for the first date. If you are hung up on possible liars, do a background check.
Reply:its easier and more convienent to find a date online
Reply:people are desperate and they can't find anyone in the read world around them
Reply:because it's easy for them to get pass the nervousness of actually meeting someone in person! and as for the lying i would think so ,people now a days is really crazy!
Reply:It's easier - you meet them and see for yourself if they're being truthful or not
Reply:sometimes ppl don't intend to do online dating, it just happens. and yes, there is a risk that your being lied to, but you just have to get to know the person. and no, its not just ugly insecure ppl that do it. i am very confident and secure about myself, and im pretty sure that im attractive. i just don't have time / patients to date someone in town.
Reply:People date online because they are insecure. Most people who turn to online daiting are people who have a limited social life. As such, they probably don't have the people skills to really meet a nice person online. This is why online dating is popular. Guys who are viewed as "nerds" who only play online games and spend their time on forums and such can get the pleasure from dating without having to awkwardly put themselves out there.
Reply:You have a hirer probability that you will find the one. There is a lot of people on the internet.
