Hello friends
Disadvantages of Online Dating
1. The number one problem with online dating is the ability to tell whether the person you are talking to is really who they say they are. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but they are not necessarily of the person you are speaking with. Many online daters have dealt this disadvantage to online dating. You may think you are speaking to a 25 year old gentleman with a gorgeous picture, when in fact he is a 45 year old, grey and balding man who uploaded a 20 year old picture of himself. Because of this unpreventable online dating flaw, never get your hopes up too high and never let your guard down until you are 100% positive you are talking to the person you think you are.
2. It can be difficult to really get to know if you are attracted to a person over the computer. Our level of attraction is based on many qualities, some of which simply cannot be relayed through textual communication and still photos. Facial expressions, quirky behaviorism, head-to-toe appearance, personal hygiene and many other factors may come into play.
3. Like the advantage of online dating that allows you to meet people you would not have met otherwise, this also works in reverse. Limiting yourself to online dating restricts your potential relationship to other individuals who are able to spend a good deal of time on the computer. More active, hard working people won’t often have this kind of time on their hands.
