subject: NOW! FIND LESBIAN DATING THE Effortless WAY! [print this page] Think back, to the final time flannel was in: the early 1990's. The Internet was really starting to set out, an unexplored frontier, and for many, the appeal socially was that you were totally anonymous. You were expected to offer your own age, physical description and gender to strangers who couldn't confirm or deny. For those who struck up a friendship, it had been totally determined by the words and online actions of your persona.
Some of these friendships carried over into real-life relationships, with mixed results. For one thing, face to face there does need to be some level of chemistry; sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. For another, the extent of anonymity actually inspired others to behave differently than they'd when they met their friends in person. In essence, it's hard to fall in love in real life with someone based entirely on "their personality" when even their personality is different in person. For a few, starting out anonymous probably have worked, but it ultimately created many additional problems.
Now flash forward nearly 20 years, to the present. People often have a lot of real-life, accurate information about themselves all around the Internet. There's Facebook, where people can tag you in less-than-flattering photos; Twitter, where you are able to check in from real-world locations; some forums are even contemplating switching from aliases to real first and last names. Since we're so accustomed to having such a lot of information already around, it is not as big of a deal to continue the honesty as we're constructing lesbian dating profiles. Some people even get lazy and duplicate their profile information over from other social networking sites (with mixed results; you do want to make a pleasant first impression in a lesbian dating profile, after all).
Every situation has pros and cons; it's great that you now have a better chance of getting what you see from an online lesbian dating profile, but how to define the cons? Well, with all this information available, we ought to still consider our safety. Just like you would not tell a random stranger on the subway where you work and which Starbucks you head to alone every evening, you may not want to add someone you've just met on the lesbian dating site to your Facebook, where they could get than information and more.
Still, I feel the online lesbian dating world is a brighter, happier place today and getting better all of the time. So next time someone questions you about joining a lesbian dating site, you can tell them to get with the times - the frontier is becoming settled.
