How Did Online Dating Become So Popular?

The reason is pretty simple. It is very much the same reason that the
internet itself became so popular. The Internet opens up a whole new
world of communication and contact. And the reasons for this are given
below.

Speed

Try to picture what used to happen earlier in the days when people had
to depend on the good ol' postal system. During those days, a person
had to wait for one or two days for a letter to get across to a person
who lived in the same state itself. The second person in turn would
take one or two days to respond and this letter would take on or two
days to get back to the first person.

So in effect, a single correspondence would stretch over a week. But
now it's a totally different story. The time taken for the first
letter and the response has been brought to an amazing 2 minutes!
Waiting may make the heart grow fonder but e-mail makes two people get
close faster!

Privacy

The Internet provides for absolute privacy too. One can carry out
communication with another person in the absolute privacy of one's
bedroom or bath room or wherever one chooses to be. There is no fear
of eavesdropping (ugh) or over hearing (shudder!) thanks to e-mail and
chat facilities.

Options and Opportunities

The Internet provides for other options like voice chat or video
conferencing and stops short only of the physical touch. But then who
would want to start a relationship by touching

People are just to lazy to get off their butts and go out and meet people
