INTERNET DATING ARTICLES

In class my group was given an assignment on articles dealing with online dating. We were supposed to summarize each one, there were four articles and in my team we have four members so each of us summarized one. There are dangers with using online dating you never know who can be on the other side of that computer screen. Online dating has taken away the old fashion way of meeting someone and also like I said poses dangers to. My article was called "Getting Back In to It" it was about people who got divorced or had become widowed and use the internet to find a mate. It help's at times to use these online dating websites because you are meeting new people but, how much chatting can you do until you really know someone. This was what my article was on. One of the other articles was called "The Dating Detective" who knew there were detectives looking out for you, hired to spy on your online chatting partner if you wanted to take things seriously. There are many cases in India were online daters are finding a wrong spouse. The detectives help in this problem they are hired to help you make sure the spouse is good financially and socially but most of all not a cheater. That is what this article was about one of the others was called "eHarmony Biased Against Gays". Now eHarmony is accused of not allowing gay people to use their website. There have been so many complaints on their website for gay couples and even lawsuits have been put on against them. The creator of eHarmony says that he is in a town were gay marriage is not acceptable and he agrees strongly with it this is why it is not allowed on his website after all he is the creator. The next article was "Internet Dating 2.0" this article was basically informing us of the use of internet dating, how it is taking over the way people meet a partner for life you could say and it gives examples in it to show us how the internet is doing this. I believe the internet is not a place to meet someone I believe it is a form to learn or research that's it I strongly believe in meeting someone the right way in person and up front.
