Online Personals Are On The Rise
You’ve heard the story before. You’ve witnessed it on the big screen. In Hollywood flicks, like You’ve Got Mail and Must Love Dogs, the leading man and his female counterpart meet online and they fall in love. Virtual romance blossoms everywhere.
This whole online dating, online personals thing was in the making for years. With the dawning of the internet age and the invasion of emails and instant messaging, online dating was but a natural progression.
When online personals first made their way into market, many people thought it was a desperate attempt for the socially awkward, for the oddballs of society. Today, however, people have embraced online dating. It’s no longer seen as abnormal or strange. In fact, many believe they’ll be able to find their soul mate easier online rather than off.
Online dating has skyrocketed in the past few years. It’s a very lucrative industry. The genius who came up with the idea of charging a monthly membership to look through profiles, is without doubt raking in the dollars.
Online dating really became popular in the early 2000s. That’s when services like Match.com, eHarmony, and Yahoo Personals first cropped up and took off with a skyward trajectory. In August of 2003 alone, online personals drew over 40 million unique visitors in the United States. In terms of traffic, that’s a huge number.
Those who aren’t familiar with online personals are probably baffled as to its popularity. The mechanics of finding true love on the net may seem improbable. But it’s really not. Online dating works much like social networking. You have a profile where you put down all your details. You add personal and physical characteristics such as height, hair color and weight, along with religious affiliation, race, profession, whether or not you smoke or drink, and other pertinent details. The profile also includes a write up of what you’re looking for in a partner.
Users contact and connect via site based messaging. Most online personal sites also have a system in place for users to express interest without actually saying anything concrete, e.g. winking or poking. The idea is that users can browse through profiles, find someone that tickles their fancy, contact them and eventually meet up, face to face, for a real date.
Most online daters will

attest that they like online dating better than dating in meatspace. Online personals are much simpler. They are more specific, more discerning. In the offline world, you’re limited to people you meet in your town. Online you can meet people from all over the globe. And you can filter out those people who don’t fit your idea of a match and concentrate on profiles that actually do seem appealing.
And perhaps true love waits just beyond the flickering computer screen. That’s the hope, after all.
Of course the online dating scene isn’t without its pitfalls. Many people tend to fib. They exaggerate their physical characteristics. They put down phony birth dates, they lower their weight, they make themselves taller, blonder, tanner than they really are. Some people even post fake pictures.
However, it’s often easy to weed out the liars and find true love
