Facts To Know About Dating Websites by Nobody: 1:15am On Aug 24, 2018
Dating websites are indeed a wonderful way to get to know new people and find prospective life partners, if not, at least some prospective boyfriends, with whom you can spend some happy time. But did you know that online dating sites can often be misleading? Also, are you aware that you can blindly fall in love with someone online and then be cheated or fooled so miserably, that you could end up depressed, even suicidal? Wait! Don’t give up on it yet. All you need to do is get yours facts straight. Once you know the rules of the game, you will be on your guard, and will become least likely to get affected by the several uncertainties and possibilities of getting duped when you have high hopes. Here are some facts to know about dating websites.


Facts to know about dating websites are:

1.They have plenty of misleading pictures: Don’t believe everything you see. Also, pictures can be misleading. The first things your screen will be bombarded with are pictures of the hottest, cutest and sweetest guys who are in your vicinity waiting to meet you. Do not fall for this con! Remember that most of these profiles could be bogus. Also, even if the profiles are genuine, these pictures may not be real ones. Once you start chatting with these guys, slowly but surely the real picture will begin to unfold and you are most likely to get disappointed – time and again.

2.They mostly delude and promote themselves: How did you come to know of the particular dating website that seems so alluring? Either someone recommended it, or you read about it somewhere, or you clicked on an advertisement. If the latter is the case, then you may just have been misled! Most dating websites have unrealistic advertisements that annoyingly pop up while you are browsing some other window just so as to attract your attention and make you visit their page at least once. Their delusional promotional tactics are fine, but they also use some high profile model’s picture in the advertisement instead of someone who may be actually searching for a date on their website.

3.You can never really know a person online: While dating websites are great at bringing together people far apart up close together, you also can never know everything about a person online. Truly knowing a person requires face to face meeting, spending time together and talking to them. Chatting online does not give you any knowledge about anybody, because that other person might just be exactly opposite of the image you will make of him by what he types in the tiny chat window.

4.They can sometimes be addictive: Dating websites are mainly to find prospective partners. But sometimes they can become an addiction. You may have made a few friends online and love chatting with them or just try to see what they are up to just because it gives you voyeuristic pleasure and has nothing to do with you searching for a partner. Sometimes, you may put off important work just to be on a dating website – that is a sure sign of addiction.

5.They cater to all communities: Dating websites cater to a wide variety of users. There is a dating website catering to each and every caste, creed, community, religion and sexual preference. You are likely to find a website that caters perfectly to your needs.

6.They may or may not be for you: Finally, dating websites are not for everyone. They work for some, and are just a waste of time for others. You may get bored of it, you may get addicted to it, or you may also just get what you are looking for! So do not make it your last resort to find a partner.

These are the facts to know about dating websites.
