| Taking a fast glimpse at my title, one may jump to the wrong conclusion that I am exaggerating or being melodramatic. That would be a misconception of my intentions. Have you ever ventured into the dangerous zone of Cyber dating? If you did, you would come to a complete agreement with my assessment of the phenomenon. Unless you were living on another planet and just arrived to Earth, you must have tried, heard of or read about the game of dating online. Calling it a jungle, where the heartless, cunning, devious, lying, cheating individuals or sweet talkers can survive, is a justifiable terminology. It would be unfair to describe all users of cyber dating in such despicable terms. There are decent, honest, loving, faithful, intelligent persons who refer to the medium as a last resort to find their significant others. One should never trust or believe in anything that is exchanged through the Internet particularly in the dating game. One may encounter men who pretend to be members of the gentle gender to con others of their hard earned fortunes, women impersonating men to satisfy a hidden desire of having fun, individuals who lie about their ages, nationalities, religions, careers, financial and marital statuses or ladies who post fake photos or the ones that were taken decades ago. The fundamental question should focus on means, other than the Internet, that one can refer to find the love of one?s life. Nowadays, most people are suffering from the lack of sufficient time to search for members of the opposite gender. With the hectic lifestyles that we are leading today, human beings have no time to socialize, to go to social functions, to visit family and friends or to go to religious events. Consequently, the opportunities to encounter single individuals had diminished. The widespread of computers and the popularity of the Internet contributed a great deal to the feeling of loneliness that had become a symptom of residing in modern societies. Attempting to go with the flow, most singles began to refer to the dating sites in the Internet to find their significant others. That led to awakening the devious desires of cunning individuals to seize the opportunity to get rich playing with the emotions of single men and women. Thousands of dating websites were established online. Men and women became too available which led to being vulnerable to be taken advantage of by those who lack consciousness or human dignity. Am I suggesting that one should abstain from using the dating sites on the Internet? Of course, I am not eliminating online dating as means to combat one's feeling of loneliness despite the fact that it is risky. However, one should be cautious on approaching others on those sites. Take the time to discover each other. Don?t be naïve enough to give all your pertinent details. Attempt to investigate a dating site before becoming a member. Try to have realistic expectations pertinent to finding your significant other. I wish to go on emphasizing the drawbacks of cyber dating but unfortunately, I have no time to accomplish that task because I can?t wait to go online searching for the lady of my dream. |
