This week in dating (19): who are YOU?
First, I‘ really sorry not to write every week, but I have been in Milan recently, and I had a lot of workload as well. And – although I’m a professional author, this is still a private website.
Talking about websites, I recognized that only dating is quite common nowadays and that the German blogs about dating publish far less than they did before, and so do the US-blogs except those of the experts.. So even we ask ourselves: do we target the right people? Those honestly seeking a mate? Those who really wish to improving their dating results? Well, we still try to find out.
On the other hand, the knowledge about online dating is still poor – one of the reasons why people become disappointed about “dating by mouse click“, as they call it. But online dating is not just only dating – it means a change in dating culture, which very few people have recognized so far.
The cultural shock is not over. Although online dating is no longer regarded as the business of some crazy nerds, it is still a new cultural achievement and not a computer game. Many people forget about that, especially younger people. In opposite to the USA, where you have dating rules and such things, blind dates are still a cultural shock for Europeans. “Why do you want to see a person you have never met before?“, is still a very common question, and is not easy to find a good answer. My best answer: because if I do it, I have a choice – I want have it by just meeting women in bars – and to say ti quite frankly: I would never marry a girl who is looking for her mate in bars.
There is still some confusion about “how to date“ – I just wrote a lot of articles this week about the chances people have. Of course, women between 25 and 35 have the best choice among men, but what about women over 40?
Talking about dating sites, we have to mention the word “free“ one more time. I know that some of these sides are really free, but does that really matter? Isn’t it success you asked for? What is better? Finding a really matching mate or just look around for someone?
By the way – love is still love and not only online dating. So we still write about love. Meanwhile one of the problems of this “wonderful“ online world is, that nearly all search engines have a “safe search“ function and that this function filters more words and pictures than you can ever imagine. I know that it is not done by humans, but by stupid programs with “artificial intelligence“ – but the rules come from humans, and they seem to be as stupid as their programs. So – just switch it off. There is no need for an adult to have “safe search“ switched on. We just heard, that the word “pantihose“ (or pantyhose, if you are American) is filtered by one of some glorious companies.So – switch it off – it makes no sense. Writers need to write what they think, and not, what might be “sexually correct“ by the natural and artificial stupidity of moralists.
