Internet Dating Services

Written by Debra Miller (contact - e-mail) -- August 9th, 2006 | Share - Save - E-mail

As Thumper, the lovable rabbit in Disney’s classic movie, Bambi, astutely noted, “Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. You get weak in the knees. Your head starts to whirl. Before you know it, you’re knocked for a loop!” Spring and summer are indeed the seasons of love, and judging by the internet activity since January, this is one season people do not take lightly.

Many dating service websites experienced a substantial increase in traffic in the six month period from January to June. Webdate.com, currently has over 500,000 singles searching their pages. The leader in this genre, personals.yahoo.com, boasted an impressive 8.3 million people in June.

So what do these websites offer in order to help singles connect with other singles? Once you create a personal profile, you can search for other users by gender, age, region, physical characteristics, interests, religion, and even zodiac sign! For those unsure of how to best approach finding a potential mate, personals.yahoo.com offers a relationship test that helps singles figure out what they are looking for in a partner. For a more scientific approach, match.com, the current number three dating site, boasts a MindFindBind™ program in which Dr. Phil imparts his relationship wisdom to users via video modules, podcasts, audio tips, and workbooks.

With each site posting countless success stories of happy couples who met online, it appears that online dating services are effective in helping people find their true loves. So if you are yet to experience the excitement of twitterpation this season, hop on line and find out if one of the millions of singles out there is right for you.

    can someone please explain to me who is telling the all the 40 something women that they look like they are 35…………..seems like about 80 % of the women in there late 30s and early to mid 40s are compelled to lie about their age and then justify it by saying people tell me I look 35 when it is very clear they look no where close to 35. Yet they all opine about how important honesty and integrity are in a mate. I am actually quite amazed by how many people fail to consider lying about such a concrete fact and still steadfastly maintaing that they are person of integrity .

    All of the dating sites seem to be boasting these days about how many members they have and how many successful marriages and happy relationships they have made. What I want to know is how many of those members are actually real? Dating services are well known for exaggerating membership numbers - after all who wants to join a site with only couple hundred members scattered across the world. There’s no way to check if those are real members other than visitor stats and I don’t think that’s 100% reliable is it?

    Is it funny that the Thumper quote I thought you were going to say was “if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all?” =) I think it’s good when people have a successful Webdate and more of those stories should be shared. It’s too common to hear stories about someone’s bad experiences. Maybe these dating websites should try to direct people who are unsure of joining to blogs that discuss the positive results from these websites to give them a push in the right direction.
