How Online Dating Works
One of the basic human impulses is to develop a romantic relationship——and maybe even fall in lovE.But there are a lot of obstacles that might keep someone from meeting the love of his or her life in today's worlD.Maybe dating co-workers is against company policy. Perhaps you hate the bar scenE.You might not be in the right mood to meet your soul mate while you're trekking(艰苦跋涉)through the grocery storE.
People of all ages, lifestyles and locations have been facing this problem for decades. In the last 10 years or so, a new solution has arrived to help lonely hearts find their soul mates: online dating.
Getting Started
Online dating is simply a method of meeting people, and it has advantages and disadvantages. The variety of dating sites is constantly growing, with many sites focused on very specific groups or interests. There arc sites for seniors, sites for Muslims(穆斯林), sites for fitness-oriented people, sites for people just looking for friends and sites for people who are interested in more adult activities. This article will be focused on the most basic type of dating site--one that works to bring two people together for a romantic relationship. While this article applies to the majority of popular dating sites, the rules and practices of any given individual site may differ.
When you first arrive at an online dating site, you can browse through profiles without entering any information about yourselF.The amount of information you can see about each user depends on the sitE.Some sites allow users to restrict access to their profiles to paying members. Photos might not be displayed unless you have a paid membership. This helps preserve anonymity, since a co-worker or family member can't accidentally stumble across your profilE.They'd have to pay for a membership to see a picture of the person they're reading about.
Once you decide you're going to give it a shot, the first thing you need to do is create your profilE.
Creating a Profile
When it's time to make your own profile, you'll start with some basic information. Are you a man or a woman? Are you looking to meet a man or a woman? What age range are you interested in? Where do you live? (Some sites just ask for a zip code, while others may allow you to choose from a list of cities.) This is generally the same information you provide to perform. a simple search, or 'browsE.'
Basic profile information may also include your birthdate and a valid e-mail address. Site administrators will communicate with you through this address, and some sites allow messages from users to be sent to your e-mail anonymously. When they send you a message, it is routed through the site's system and redirected to your e-mail without the other user ever seeing your address. Some sites use their own internal messaging system. If you're especially concerned about privacy, it's easy enough to create a free e-mail account somewhere and use it solely for your online dating contacts.
Indicating your physical attributes is usually the next step. Height, weight, hair and eye color and body type are common pieces of data, while some sites ask about piercings and tattoos. At this point, the process becomes increasingly detaileD.Interests and activities, favorite sports, authors, music or movies, how you like to spend weekend— these topics are all fair gamE.More personal questions might involve whether or not you have children, whether or not you want children, your religious beliefs and your political views. Pets, occupation, income and living situation are usually on the list as well.
Next, you'll be asked to answer many of these same questions a second time, but instead of indicating your own traits, you'll be describing your ideal datE.The site will then use this information and the information you provided about yourself t
