Advantages and Disadvantages of online Dating
Clearly there are many advantages and disadvantages to online dating. One major advantage is accessibility; online dating gives you the ability to meet a diverse population of singles from all over from the comfort of your home. A major disadvantage is that it relies on self-report data, you are basing your opinion and interpretation on what you are told rather then what you experience. With this being said there is a diverse pool of online daters as well as forums for engaging in online dating.
