A number of myths about online dating exist even though we use the internet to do virtually anything under the sun. Let's take a look at the top 8 myths vs facts:
1. Myth: The online dating world is full of weirdo's.
Fact: No ,not anymore. Maybe that was true in 1995 when almost 50% of the web was full of weirdos. Now a days real legitimate people with real legitimate objectives use online dating just because it saves so much time.
2. Myth: Every man there is trying to catch girls to feature on his porn site.
Fact: The same stats about 1995 hold here.
3. Myth: The girls there are fat, stupid and ugly and they are there because they cannot get a date in the real world.
Fact: No , the girls are usually hot, intelligent and pretty cool. They are there because they are over the bar scene. Most people after a certain point of time come to develop a love-hate relationship with bars and clubs. Clubs are ok, but people don't consider them as the sole option for meeting somebody. So they come online to carry on their search.
4. Myth: It's awkward asking somebody out without knowing that person.
Fact: It's actually quite thrilling because there is a lot of anticipation involved. If you have ever been on a blind date(good or bad) you know the feeling I am talking about.
5. Myth: It's not safe.
Fact: Look.. if you are searching for your soulmate in the erotic services section of craigslist, then it's not safe. But most of the well-known dating sites have very strict regulations these days and are continuously refining their policies to wean out shady characters. So you are in good hands if you sign up with one of these major players. They take care of your safety because it's tied to their reputation.
6. Myth: It's too expensive.
Fact: No! over a period of 6 months, it will cost you around 16.99 per month. That's just 16.99 to contact virtually unlimited number of people anywhere in the universe. How much do you spend on an average night out?
7. Myth: I cannot write very well, so it's not for me.
Fact: Most people that are out there trying to show off their writing skills end up in the dirt. The space provided to express yourself and your wants is quite small and if you can churn out a few funny lines, it usually takes care of the deal. You will beat out the autobiography/resume writers by a fair mile.
8. Myth: I still prefer meeting somebody face to face.
Fact: In internet dating, you still have the option of meeting face-to-face. You are not going to continue exchanging emails for the next 10 years. Unless of course you have certain fantasies about long distance relationships which you don't want to tell me.
The net actually takes away the awkwardness of meeting face-to-face from the get go . Also you know that the other person is looking out for somebody too. So no more "I have a bf/gf", or "I have a kid" issues. As you know, they suck!
