Online Relationships: A Report Written By: Jeremy Thompson

Have you heard of myspace, e-harmony, face-book, or any other online community where you can meet people and possibly date them? Do you think it is safe, a good idea, or even thinkable? Do you grasp all the pros and cons to the issue? Do you? “Within this report I plan to clarify these things so that you may be able to contemplate twice before entering a date site. When you meet someone in the world near you, do you notice if they are telling the truth or not? Can you tell who they are as a person by hanging out with them face to face for a couple hours? Is it possible that you can have this same experience through a internet dating site? My answer is absolutely not, however we need to discuss a couple things before we can say whether I am correct or not. First off, we need to comprehend how most dating systems work. Though every site is somewhat diverse there are a couple key features which make my point most remarkable. First off you will probably end up filling out a survey revealing who you are. This survey is next transferred into a “scientific” algorithm. An algorithm is a series of steps to uncover a solution to a problem. Basically this means that a group of other people pre-programmed a bunch of codes into a computer and came out with a program that would decide whether or not the person fits into a certain category of people. After this you are put into a cluster of people meeting the same criteria. This results in incorrect matches most of the time in the long-run since we are all human. Being that we are all human, we all most likely want to only include the things with the aim of making us look good in a certain area of life as well as personality. This makes the whole program go on the frits as we are putting false data into a program, along with being categorized into a specific group of people who are probably doing all the same thing. Which means those specific traits that make us who we really are, start to show up during the first actual meeting. So why not simply go meet the person first hand? On top of this incorrect and deceitful program we have an additional problem. We are beginning to categorize people based on money. This is because most of these online dating programs have fees to reach special levels of expressing yourself. For example, a rich person might afford to answer a certain survey, or participate in a certain program that would bring you to your mate. Nevertheless the people who can’t afford this are completely left out of meeting their “special” someone. We are putting People into Categories and then not allowing the natural order of things to take its place in our lives. We as humans have amazing traits that set us apart from any category. So how can we fit a certain category exactly? It’s impossible! We require that spontaneous reaction from another person to truly know what they think of us. With any dating site this is not possible. We need to find that special someone on our own. We can’t try and speed up the process like we Americans try and do everything else!
