Common Reasons Why People Use Dating Apps

Online Love & Infidelity 

Let me start first with this statement, Internet is the pinnacle of interpersonal connections. The idea that a network could connect individuals from variously different backgrounds is ground breaking. Online Dating is born by adapting this concept to fill the basic needs of humans, Love. Love is the idea that 2 different persons develop a connection between each other, Online Dating fills the void of having each person to manually developed and connect with a human being that he/she needs. Online dating is massively advantageous for people in search of love, this falls into the subject of human connection. The huge availability of alternatives are also a huge plus for start, even though cheating is still not condone for people in it of itself, the idea that one’s partner need to fill for the opposites needs is essential of maintaining a functioning relationship.
The Beautiful Truth About Online Dating

Online dating also has some negativity, even it has more disadvantage more than the advantage. I just wondering that what if the person we attract to use fake indentities, or maybe a fake picture and fake biodata, it can be considered as a root of every lies, because it means that he/she delude the person at the start. Even worse, how about they fake their relationship status? The example is like they put up their stastus as a single but in a real life their got married, it is a such a obnoxious way isnt it? Afterall, online dating concept never promise you to get that perfect partner, the way they running they relationship is kinda rough, each partner always have opportunity to cheating (and it even more if their LDR) because people assume the concept of online dating it is never that serious, they keep presume that online dating as a “game”.
Plus and Minuses of Online Dating

Online dating like all others has its pros and cons, but when we analyze this topic further, it is seen that the cons outweighs the pros. The dangers of online dating should be taken into further account when applying to dating apps such as tinder, badoo, tantan, etc. As stated earlier, the major problem when using dating apps is that the user can use fake pictures  or fake biodata, we cannot be quick to trust the information being given to us through the app. Although these dating apps proves to be very convenient for the users as it is less time consuming when compared to finding a significant other in real life and easy to use. The other major problem that comes from online dating is that the users usually does not take the relationship seriously as they see it as a “game”, thus if this behavior does not change then online dating will be ineffective.
