Online Romance is Working.

New Study Reveals Online Dating Success- If You Know What To Do.

Research by an Australian psychologist reveals that online datingis achieving remarkable results for singles seeking love and long term relationships on the internet.

Online Romantic rituals remain much the same as traditional dating, concludes the new study. As in traditional dating, online couples are influenced by non-verbal cues. With online dating, where the written profile and follow-up emails are a couple's primary means of communication, things like spelling errors, the number of exclamation marks and the use of grammar are the New Age non-verbal cues.

Zoe Hazelwood, psychologist at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), who led the study, has found that traditional and online dating are, in fact, very similar.

"Although online traditional non-verbal cues are not present, in our research we found people do judge potential partners on things aside from what they are saying," she said.

"People form impressions online based on things like spelling errors, use of acronyms, amount of exclamation marks, use of grammar - things like that. They may not pursue a relationship with someone if they do not like their writing style, or feel they have poor spelling."

Another habit that is present in traditional and online dating was the tendency to present ourselves as - just slightly - more interesting and interested than we actually are at the start of a relationship.

"However, this stretching of the truth early on in relationships is certainly not a new thing and many of the long-term couples I have met, who dated traditionally, have done it to a certain extent when they were trying to impress.

"Later on, if the other person starts to like them for a whole host of other reasons, these small things they may have lied about just aren't so important anymore."

"It shows that everyone has the opportunity to use this technology and make the most of it. It also shows that people are willing to take the challenge, and believe in success and in it never being too late to find someone."

Online dating has also allowed an avenue for people young and old to reach out and find connections, said Hazelwood.

"One of the things I found pleasing was that online dating stretched across all age groups," she said. "In our research, one of the participants was a 76-year-old female. She and her partner, who was the same age, met online and were getting married."

She also found that race and culture were not the barriers to love and marriage as they had been in traditional dating. Asian, Latina and Filipina women were being sought and won by North American men. Ethnicity is no longer a barrier. Elements like special interests and similar values were more important.

Hazelwood's research found that traditional daters and online datershad roughly the same relationship success rate - despite many people believing that online dating was not as likely to be as successful as traditional dating.

"Basically, neither way of dating is better or worse. Despite all the differences, in many ways they are still very much the same," she said.

As a therapist and relationship expert, I have seen a sea change in the way body image is perceived in modern society. Big Beautiful Women (BBW) and Big Handsome Men (BHM) are increasingly accepted. Big XL Size men have always attracted a certain percentage of adoring women and continue to do so today. And Curvaceous women are seeking loving men who will accept and cherish them as they are. As the folks at http://www.wuving.com well know.
