Online Dating

Since almost everyone is on the internet these days (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.) meeting new people via the internet can be easier for some people than in real life. Therefore, online dating has become a large controversy in today’s culture. On one side, online dating can be a good way to meet new people and establish relationships if the site you are on is trustworthy and you are careful of what information you are giving out and who you are talking to. Online dating can make it easier for people to find others who have similar interests and values as them. However, the argument against online dating is how can you really decide whether you like someone based on a profile picture and their About Me? Again also that it can be dangerous if the person isn’t careful with their information and who they give it out to. I think that like any other social media, online dating has its pros and cons, and is definitely up to the user whether they are comfortable with it.
