Welcome to my blog.
This is my 1-st post here. I would be grateful to you for your comments and opinions.
What image do people have about online dating?
What image do people have about online dating?
Today’s post will start with one 2007 movie.
A friend of mine reminded me about it in our today’s conversation.
The movie is ‘Because I Said So (2007)‘, starring brilliant Diane Keaton and beautiful and sexy Mandy Moore. I’m not their fan, and there’s nothing terribly unique, but as to me it is overall good and entertaining.
I don’t intend to discuss the writing and the play.
We remembered about the film mainly because of internet dating presentation (especially AdultFriendFinder online dating site) there, with Diane Keaton as a neurotic control mother who spends most of her time obsessing over the romantic attempts of her daughter (Moore), going so far as to post an ad on an internet dating site seeking out prospective husbands for the quite unsuspecting girl.
Keaton tries to find an online dating site, but gets stuck on an internet porn site instead. It gets worse, because Keaton can’t figure out how to get off the page. She hits buttons, throws a blanket over the monitor, and calls tech support, with the streaming porn audio at full volume.. this is a comedy, by the way.
But I think here is the point. Let’s ask what someone imagines and what does s/he know about online dating .
- How do most people imagine online dating?
- How many of them have personal experience in online dating?
- And how many of them someway succeed in dating, and what is it in comparison to ‘traditional’ dating?
The image of internet dating is driven by news stories in many respects. Examples are plentiful.
The facts are only known from authority reports and studies.
I’ll now try to find the facts accessible to a general audience and compile/present them into my next post here.
Have a nice time.
Thank you for reading my blog.
