used to be if someone was looking for that special guy or gal they'd have to put on their spiffiest threads and head down to the local fountain shop to try a bit of personal congress but kids these days are so hyped up on their microwave dinners and tennis shoes that they prefer to spend time glued to screens indoors meeting new partners on Facebook and dating online well at least that was the idea and the stigma about digital dating services all the way back in the Year 2005 but according to the Pew Research Center people today generally approve of the idea with approval rates rising from approximately 40% to 60% between then and 2013 not only that but we also saw a decrease from about 30% of those surveyed to 20% for people who believed that all my dating was only for those extremely desperate types in fact digital dating service has become so popular that huge groups of celebrities are now openly admitting to using them but why is everyone in the grandmother suddenly so turned on to this concept I mean it's not as if celebrities or attractive young people have had a hard time finding companionship historically a lot of why attitudes have become more comfortable towards online relationships seems to be tied to society's increasing positive view of social media use which has grown to include nearly three-quarters of all Internet users there's also a perception now that digital dating services might actually offer more benefits than traditional courtships about 60% of Internet users stated online dating was a good way to meet people and a little over half when is far to say that they're better because they allow users to find potentially closer matches by opening up their playing fields this perception that online dating sites and apps offer more bang for their buck mmm is not an incidental one as many services brand themselves on their ability to make superior matches through algorithms based on user questionnaires there are also many services which specialize in connecting people of specified societal sex such as those seeking members of particular religion ethnicity or a copious range of very specified and important criteria and of course there are also those services which allow the less particulars to choose based on simply a use image and then swipe their finger with attitudes towards online dating services on the rise coupled with the facts that nearly two-thirds of all digital romantics are successful in landing a date and that 11% of those married in the last 10 years met online and have lower rates of divorce it seems apparent that the dinner dates have become an antiquated concept like jousting or optical drives well don't exit out and update your dating profiles too fast there are some downsides to consider for instance although married couples fare better those in casual relationships which started online tend to do worse also half of survey daters felt potential partners had misrepresented themselves online which is pretty good when we consider that 80% of users lie but at least one factor of age height or weight this is not to mention things like the study which claimed dating algorithms are completely bogus or services which aren't necessarily as focused on creating interpersonal commitments as much as they are about letting people get around them or rather trying to let them in the end the decision between online and traditional dating is best left to each individual if a person decides that having a go through that stereotypical initial dating phase is better than risking their date not turning out to be exactly who or what they've suggested or vice-versa they have my blessing because regardless of the odds a person decides to play dating will always remain a crapshoot spice up your dating profile by using lynda.com to up your photoshop skills in order to improve your headshots or better yet learn a marketable skill to become more desirable your lynda.com membership will give you unlimited access to training on hundreds of topics all for the flat rate just starting at $25 per month whether you're looking to become an industry expert you're passionate about a hobby or you just want to learn something new I want you to try just visiting lynda.com/tekzilla that's it thanks for watching guys like if you liked it dislike it if you didn't - other than that go check out this video on channel superfund where you will probably be able to see the video that teryn posted on his dating profile
