What are the pros and cons of online dating?? - nicky47 - 12-31-2009
Pros:
* You can just search for friends and not just partners.
* It’s very easy to do: simply create a profile, place it on the online dating site and start emailing other members.
* Many dating sites include instant messaging, flirting, photo exchanging, etc.
* Meet the type of people you want
* Options on many sites allow you to join for just a few days, a week, a month, quarterly or even a year.
* If don’t connect with the first person you meet there’s always plenty more fish in online dating sea.
* Searching for like-minded people is easy as this is one of the options available on virtually all sites.
Cons:
* You can’t see the person you are emailing.
* It’s easy to pretend to be some one else as identity is not verified.
* Rarely, because of the anonymous nature of the Web, it does attract some undesirable characters.
* On most sites you have to pay a fee; there are some free ones but most are not too great.
* It can be nervous meeting some one off the Internet you have never seen before.
* Some times it can be time-consuming.
* If you’re a female, you can usually expect a deluge of emails.
* If you’re a guy expect to compete for the hot babes.

Another pros is that you can write things that for you it is very difficult to say to that person directly. You can express your feelings and emotions not just in words but also in smiles which are very helpful in such situations.
