:Imagine a catalog. We girls love to shop, each of us can admit to indulging in a catalog every now and then, right? Now image this: a catalog of men. Included is each man's photo, his interests, his education level, his occupation and a little blurb that makes his grammar skills and lifestyle choices somewhat obvious.
This, ladies is online dating. I know, I know. The number one complaint I hear from women is this: But there are so many creeps out there who could be lying. I challenge you to ask any of your friends who have met a man in a bar, club or party if they've ever encountered a man who lied about himself when they first met. He may have ënhanced his education or casually called himself the chief investment banker when he in reality was the teller at Bank of America.
The concerns that women have with online dating are the same concerns that appear when we have dating encounters out in the city. What I personally enjoy about online dating are what I call the three "wiggle room rules". They are the three aspects of online dating that make it a little easier than being ambushed at the bar and asked what youre drinking:
1. If a man who you have absolutely no interest in tries to talk to you, you DON'T have to respond. Unlike in real life situations where you have to make up some lie about how you're already taken or in your 7th year of physicians training and just much to busy to date. You simply look at the message, check out his profile, laugh hysterically at the fact that he actually thought he had a chance and keep it moving. No awkward dodging conversations are to be had.
2. Dating can be kinda sticky. Often you meet someone through a mutual friend and if you and that particular person dont vibe too well after the first date things can get awkward with you and the "middle man"who set you two up. With online dating? You can have a STRONG cut you off game if you don't end up liking the person you aren't feeling. No need to worry about running into them at your best friends promotion dinner next weekend because they literally have been cast back into the 'out of no where land' that they came from.
3. How many times have you seen a guy across the room that you really like. But it just so happens that when he FINALLY glances your way you're laughing obnoxiously at something your best friend said with a chili cheese fry hanging our of your mouth? Seriously, first impressions aren't always as gracious as you need them to be and often are absolutely no reflection of the classy, accomplished lady that you really are. With online dating you're able to create a profile that reflects the best of you and if you have the courage you can add a thing or two of the things that aren't so great to let the men who are glancing know that yes you are in fact a real person. Its not too different from when you go to a party and your hair is perfect, your clothes are brand spankin' new and somehow when the guy who works on wall street t approaches, you've suddenly developed a stellar vocabulary. We all want to be able to set a great first impression. Online dating makes that a tad bit easier since there is no greasy food or uncomfortably tight dresses included.
So, have I convinced you? What are your experiences good and bad with dating online? I'd love to hear! Share your story here on the blog or chat with me via Facebook or IG! Cant wait to 'hear about it!
