It is not uncommon to find people who met their spouses through Online Dating Websites. Just as “off-online dating,” not every online dating couple makes it into a successful marriage. That notwithstanding, there are still a good number of accounts involving people meeting up through dating websites and eventually making it into a happy and long-lasting marriages.
The basic objective of these dating websites is to provide
an electronic platform to singles that are looking up to get into courtship with
suitable counterparts. They would first subscribe to an account, and then post
their profile showing who they are, as well as their interests. Hopefully, with
time, a given pair would learn enough about each other so they can make an educated
decision to turn such a courtship into marriage.
But come to think of it! Some of these online services are
not free of charge after all. And whoever is paying for such a service
definitely wants the most out of his/her money. It is therefore not uncommon to
find subscribers adopting all sorts of tricks to get to their target − the most
befitting date. Subscribers may be inclined to see such dating websites as
avenues for “relationship shopping.” More so, the electronic media makes the
task even simpler since contacts could be made by a simple click of a button.
More interesting is the conduct of the website hosts that
manage these platforms: Even after subscribers have updated their profiles from
“single” to “in-relationship,” they are still privy to “new singles updates.”
These updates are electronic notifications sent to subscribers to enable them see
what more options of potential dates are available online, regardless their
relationship status.
In the end, a subscriber could wind up locking ties with
multiple counterparts on a social network website, all in his/her bid to get
the best out of the monthly charges he/she pays as a member of that network.
It is indeed good to have access to information so as to be
able to make educated decisions on key issues in life. Reading through customer
reviews and advertisements to get a gist of what item is of the highest quality
is always a good thing. Or at least, we are used to it!
The insatiable quest for topmost quality has been part and
parcel of human life… and it’s going stay that way. But could we say this quest
has translated into our modern society characterized by multiple relationships
and promiscuity?
Or do we say the services offered by these online dating
websites, particularly regarding their crafty ways of “selling” new singles, is
the promoter of multiple relationships?
Your point of view would definitely depend on your view point.
I leave it up to you to decide!
