Are online dating sites just a scam, or can they form lasting relationship?

Dating is basically a stage whereby two people meet either socially or traditionally, as
friends or with the aim of intimate relationship or marriage. It can also be a form of
courtship consisting of social activities done by the couple. The practices of dating vary
considerably from country to country and over time. It is pretty hard to give a
confirmation that online dating is successful or not nowadays.

As per a study of Michigan State online dating leads to more break-ups than meeting in
real-life. After a survey conducted it was found that online relationships tended to end
within a year. It concludes with the below points:

 Contact
Being in Contact is very important to intimacy and attraction. Obviously, this is not
possible to do through the Internet as if now. Even basic eye contact is not possible
through a computer
  Value Inflation
Basically Online Dating starts where very attractive women crave for the attention of
men. They get many messages in a day and rarely respond. What happens next to the
men on these sites is a lowering of standards. They begin to contact the lesser-
attractive women. These women have their self-worth filled as well as their inboxes.
They begin to think they are more attractive than they really are and begin responding
to messages more selectively, thus continuing the cycle.

In the end, guys are contacting women they’d never speak with in real life.

 Confidence
Women or Men are attracted to confidence. Confidence is very difficult to express only
with a photo or a description. The best profiles show humor but confidence is lacking.
The mere act of contacting a women or men online is quite simple but this does not
show confidence like, approaching a woman in a coffee shop.

 Fairy Tale Princess Endings

An average woman fantasizes about Prince Charming. Nothing about online dating is
magical. It is completely contrived and is set up in a pretty logical manner. The popular
sites have added features that allow you to see random matches in a way that tries to
replicate a little of the magic women crave, but have not been successful to date.

But I think success or failure of a relationship all depends upon the individuals. There
are cases when people get married through Online dating and leading a happy life. If
online dating would have been a failure than Online Marriage portals would have suffer
a great loss of business.
But like every coin has another side to it; online dating poses some serious side effects,
which if not taken care of shall result in disasters. For first timers, online dating is an
amazing, new and unseen experience which immediately attracts their attention. But
you might end up having a bad company, someone who might mislead you, someone
who might exploit you and what not? First of all, extensive online dating can turn into an
addiction that kills your precious time.

People who tend to get involved in such relationship tend to forget everything else and
sit in front of the computer almost throughout the day; such activities not only affect their
other work but their health as well. They tend to stay online for long periods, skipping
meals and sleep and avoiding their responsibilities. These individuals also drift away
from family and friends and start experiencing drastic mood swings. The worst is when
they have a problem with the computer or cannot login to the website, they become
highly frustrated and keep on grumbling. There is also high risk of meeting a dishonest
person with a dating.

Apart from this there are some benefits of Online Dating. The Internet provides a wider
selection of men and women. You will be able to learn about your dream date even
before you have met them. Several websites offer online dating services you can take
advantage of. This is one way of increasing your chances of meeting your dream date.
This adds an opportunity into the relationship which is why some people would like to
have an online dating relationship before they take the next step of arranging to meet
personally.
