In recent years, “cybersex” has become an endlessly popular second, with many young people aspiring to fall in love on the Internet, and some of them are obsessed with it. Why is internet dating so “on fire”? The fact is that people who fall in love online are looking for something that they don’t have in real life, and they want to be compensated for it.
Some people have mental health problems and become depressed, lonely, and afraid to socialize with others, while being able to let go on the internet. That’s why there are more and more people having online relationships.
Are people more likely to “fall in love at first sight” online?
In fact, the probability of “love at first sight” is much lower in modern society than in traditional societies of relative material scarcity. In the past, people may not be very picky when looking for a spouse, first to meet a need for survival and life, almost get by and get married. In the modern world, men and women also consider character, education, family, and many other factors. With so many criteria to consider at the same time, it is easy for a young person to find fault with the opposite sex around him or her – it is not that people have become less qualified, but that everyone’s standards have become higher.
In this case, the web provides precisely the kind of flat information about someone that is relatively homogeneous, while obscuring other information that might be perceived as flaws – the bright spots are magnified, and the diffusion of good feelings is more pronounced. The diffusion of good feelings is more pronounced, and so the chances of young people “initiating” a relationship through the Internet are correspondingly higher.
Does online dating result in a high percentage of successful marriages?
It’s hard to say exactly what the percentage is. But from past research and clinical treatment, it is true that some people who are in “online relationships” feel uncomfortable when they move offline or even get married. After all, online interactions are relatively one-dimensional, and in actual multi-factor encounters, problems that have been concealed – especially after marriage and living together – will be revealed. So I’m not opposed to people who are in “online relationships” living together for a while before they get married.
There seem to be more “leftover women” than “leftover men” among Internet users, so why is that
In general, it is true that there are slightly more women than men in China, especially in big cities. And biologically speaking, women are more inclined by nature to prefer men who are older than they are, while men are the opposite. This is the reason why the marriageable age of women is shorter and they are “left” if they are not careful.
The above is a basic understanding of what online lovers think. The truth is that there are definitely reasons to seek out online dating, and some people can realize this themselves. It’s just that they are not willing to change and allow themselves to continue to be addicted. If online love can become actual, it is also a good result. If online dating affects your family, or if your marriage breaks up, it’s a thousand things you shouldn’t do.
