The single life is undoubtedly a harsh one if it is improperly navigated. However, it need not ever be a lonely one - simply more challenging.
The technology of online dating is either the best thing to ever happen to the single life, or a further scourge on the already dank hopes of humanity, depending on who you ask.
However, if you have yet to form an opinion, here are the pros and cons of online dating.
Pros of Online DatingConvenience.
You have a busy life, and you do not have time to court or flirt, so your online dating profile can do it for you. An online dating profile can show you at your best all the time while you lounge on your couch eating chips waiting for that perfect mate to email you (although this may feed into the first con of online dating).
Visibility.
Putting a profile online exposes you to more people than you could ever meet in the real world, at least ideally. And your profile works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, meeting people even while you sleep.
Overcoming Shyness.
The online profile allows you to be shy in real life, because computers don't know how to blush and look away when someone sees your profile. Your online profile allows you to put your best foot forward in every interaction, provided you spend a little time on your pictures and bio.
Targeting is Easy.
Many online dating sites are set up only for certain segments of the population, allowing daters to go for exactly what they want.
Cons of Online DatingBait and Switch.
Many times, the person who comes to the date is not the person in the photo. There is no way to tell if a picture is from 5 years or 50 pounds ago, and there are many dating Horror stories online of exactly this situation coming to pass.
The Online Dating Stigma.
Many people still place a stigma on dating online, and as such, many eligible singles do not place their profiles online. Some would say that the most eligible people, who have no trouble getting dates in the real world, are the ones missing from the online dating world.
The Letdown.
Many studies, some done by dating sites themselves, have shown that racism is more rampant online, with certain segments of the population receiving most of the attention.
