In the age of social networking, it is no wonder that today one of the main roles of the internet is to create close links between its users. Considered taboo not long ago, dating sites are now a common occurrence.

More and more people are trying to find the pair they have been looking for for a long time. Simple, fast, and efficient, the method is starting to prove safe. Today, the internet makes it easier to find a job, to shop, to communicate with friends.

Have you ever wondered what kind of people use dating or dating site services, such as.... (you know what those are)? "Well, almost everyone doesn't have a partner," in one breath, some of you... "No, no! Only those who don't trust them or try to come across an occasional partner", others would reply, with a revolutionary advance.

Well, leaving, on the one hand, there are quite a few people who access the internet out of a sincere urge to meet a suitable or even loved partner. Are they on the right track?

Recent studies in the UK have found that sociable people have a significant share of those who use online dating services. You didn't expect that, did you? Because it is usually assumed that people who use such sites are lonely or have social problems.

However, "dating" on the Internet is not the only option for sociable people. with the keyword "dating". If you do not value yourself too much in your own eyes but consider that a love affair is not a big deal, you may also be tempted to see who you could hang out with on the internet.

What kind of people doesn’t give a damn about dating or dating sites? Those who do not look too closely in the mirror (telling themselves they have nothing to see), nor do they long to deal with Cupid's toy arrows.

Psychologists explain these trends as follows...

If someone thinks or feels that a new "romantic" acquisition can stimulate their self-esteem, then they will try to add new names to their "insect" or conquest.

In the context of online dating, such a person, unlike someone with an impression Bad self, will push you with a high fever in the online search for a new partner. Contact with a multitude of anonymous people will make him swell in feathers and be enveloped by the sweet and dizzying wine of self-esteem.

Those who do not give a lot of money on their image can get stress at the head only at the thought of displaying or promoting them on the Internet; Considering themselves a kind of unsuccessful experiment of nature, they do not necessarily want to see their image at the mercy of a multitude of unknown people.

In order to protect themselves from such negative emotions, they adopt strategies to avoid and distance themselves from online dating services or from the possibility of a "face-to-face" meeting with another person on the Internet.

People who say their prayers at bedtime in front of their photo icon think they have nothing to lose in the hunt for "heads" on the internet. People less confident in themselves, who don't even have a mirror in the bathroom, don't want to mirror in others too, so I say to myself, "Yeah, it would be nice to have a partner. But damn it, I feel pretty good about myself!"

Some claim that behind the dating sites is real science, which allows people to make the best choice of a partner. I like SF, but let me stay in the realm of reality. I see no chance that, through the data provided by the accountants from such sites, you can truly reach the magical spark of contact between two soul mates.
