"Idealists" need a unique identity to be fulfilled and, therefore, value authenticity. They are often skilled in interpretation and tend to be impressionistic. Finally, "Rationals" need mastery and self-control to be satisfied and value logical consistency. They are skilled in analyzing situations but they are often oblivious to the world around them.
These characteristics can be used to model how people with certain temperaments will respond to potential online dating prospects.. For instance, Guardians would most likely use online dating services because others in their peer group are doing it.
However, Guardians are typically economical people, so they would most likely strike a balance between conforming and saving money by going to a less expensive online dating sites. Therefore, having a Guardian temperament explains why certain people will want to date wealthy sucessful people, even though, in reality, they will date people who are from the same background and share the…...
Furthermore, online dating appears to offer users a passive means of obtaining feedback and improving their own behavior including adding new interests and correcting the perceptions of others. Overall, it can be concluded that online dating will continue to be a prominent source for those seeking relationships.

In that regard, there is nothing sinister or unusual in the way the online dating platform is structured.
Online dating does indeed have its own pitfalls. As a matter of fact, no approach to dating can be regarded absolutely safe or trouble free. Traditional dating also has its own unique challenges (Paludi, 2012). However, based on the arguments presented in this text, the benefits online dating presents cannot be overstated. As it turns out, most of those who fear trying out online dating simply succumb to myths peddled around in an attempt to discredit online dating. Others resort to giving weak excuses in an attempt to avoid trying out online dating. Some of these excuses have been explored in detail by eHarmony. For instance, the dating site encourages those who would rather meet their significant halves organically to embrace new approaches in their search for love (eHarmony Staff, 2013). Further,…...

This is very common for college age people because some do not realize on how to self-disclose to a romantic relationship, therefore, they seek relationship satisfaction elsewhere (Aviram, I., and Amichai-Hamburger 2005).
Taking into consideration the self-disclosure that an Internet relationship permits, we expected that an Internet affair would be especially appealing to individuals who feel that their "real life" relationship does not allow them enough self-disclosure. Since self-disclosure has been found to be related to the stability of a relationship (Fitzpatrick & Sollie, 1999), we predicted that individuals with low self-disclosure in their "real life" relationship would develop higher expectations of an Internet affair (Aviram, I., and Amichai-Hamburger 2005).
From there, it has been researched and discovered that self-disclosure and experience of intimacy within dyadic college romantic relationships does actually effect relationship satisfaction. and, without being taken care properly intimacy could lead to affairs if there is not a true…...
Online Dating Scams and Its ole in Identity Theft
ONLINE DATING SCAMS AND IDENTITY THEFT
The increased use of the Internet in modern communications has contributed to the emergence of cyberspace, which has become an alternative medium for developing and experiencing new relationships. The cyberspace is currently used for various purposes including communication and for developing creative romantic endeavors with less spatio-temporal restrictions. While online love platforms have proliferated and blossomed in the past few decades, they have become avenues for cyber crime. This paper examines how online dating platforms have developed to become cyber crime sites through which identity fraud is carried out. The analysis begins with an overview of whether online dating is a scam and the role of online dating scams in identity theft. This evaluation is based on the use of social control theory as the theoretical framework that guides the research. The researcher conducts document analysis based…...

Catfish Dating
The objective of this study is to examine what is known as 'catfish dating'. According to the 'Urban Dictionary' a catfish is "someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances." (2015, p. 1)
The work of Saedi (2012) reports that Catfish dating is a reason for heartbreak for many people as the persona that is presented online by many individuals is a far cry from the reality of who they actually are. According to the website 'Your Tango' there are certain precautions one should take when attempting online dating. Firstly, one should always consider why an individual would want to meet someone that lives hundreds of miles away would be better off to meet someone that lives close to them. This type of person is either afraid of commitment in a severe manner or…...

Online Dating
The digital medium has changed numerous aspects of modern life. In the vocational realm, digital communications have revolutionized the way people work; in education, digital media have been responsible for the explosion of remote learning opportunities; and in the social realm, social networking (in particular) has radically changed the way that people make and maintain social connections. On one hand, the prospect of online dating provides new options for people who are too busy to try to meet others in the traditional ways. On the other hand, digital media and online social media have also been the source of infidelity and other forms of duplicitous or deceitful relationships, largely because of their potential to be exploited for those purposes by virtue of the anonymity and remote communications they are capable of supporting. On balance, it is likely that the online medium is not directly responsible for the deterioration…...

Summary: This article covers the shifting trends in the understanding of families and relationships due to online networking and its repercussions on the communities.
Reflection: The content is believable so adding it in the paper would make it influential enough to capture the reader.
It is obvious that public perceptions regarding such services have changed. This research must analyze the reasons that led to these changes. Online dating is wider accepted now than it was before. Something has determined this change, and this research must find out the elements that have influenced this situation.
Another issues hat this research proposal must take into consideration refers to the types of online daters that are most frequent in this industry. Determining the main types of online daters would be very helpful in determining and analyzing the behavior of such consumers. Based on these findings, companies in this industry can make forecast and can develop and implement strategies.

The interrelationship between the perception of deception and the sender and receiver's behaviors and cognitions are unique.
Griffin (2003) further describes the power of persuasion and its effects on communication. With online dating, this can be especially important. The user searching through profiles has a desire to find someone they feel is suited to them. A well written profile, describing and enhancing all of a member's best attributes, can be a very powerful persuader, especially when combined with the searcher's longing to make a match. The deception that is so easily undertaken, with the veil of anonymity afforded by the Internet, is a significant persuader for those being decieved.

Conclusion
ince very little research has yet been done for the online community, the study will be simplified by discussing the aspects of fidelity in an online environment for the sake of direct outreach. The methodology of the study combines with the literature about human interaction to provide a new insight into the role of Internet-based interactions in the modern day. The fieldwork, careful analysis, and interaction with the surveyed users will allow for a greater understanding of this developing portal and the way it has come to intersect society.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS/INSECURITYHealthy Relationships/InsecurityPart 1From the onset, it would be prudent to note that for this exercise, I selected dating specifically in relation to online safety while dating. One of the things that I learnt is that regardless of how strict ones privacy settings are, the privacy of content shared online or social media posts cannot be really guaranteed. For this reason, there is need to ensure that in keeping in touch with others i.e. close friends or partners overly personal or sensitive information is not shared. Secondly, I got to learn that when one encounters situations that involve harassment in the online realm, documentation could come in handy. Thus, in such scenarios, one should document all the relevant comments, posts, as well as messages so as to reference them accordingly if the need to contact the relevant agencies, i.e. law enforcement officers, ever arises. Third, I got…...
Derek Cajun begins his book with an analysis of online dating. According to Cajun you should not turn to online dating when it is so easy to simply go out and find a woman. Cajun said it was important to actually get out and meeting women, because if you lack practice with your social skills, you are likely to mess up a date. Cajun states that dating sites should not be used to find women, but instead to practice your social skills in order to be ready for your dates. His book outlines the proper method for online dating, meeting women, starting conversation, and taking the next steps (Cajun, 2013).
Cajun refers to his books as "the total gentleman or man's guide to get ladies." As an added bonus he includes chapters on "Phone Game" by Tenmagnet, detailing how to make the first phone call to set up a date, an…...

Young people had always danced as a means of socializing with one another. However, prior to the 1950s, it was considered appropriate for a girl to dance with a variety of partners, even if she came to a dance with a particular young man. By the mid-1950s, views changed, and it was considered insulting to cut-in on someone else's date (Sombat). In addition, rock and roll, which featured more suggestive lyrics than prior forms of music, seemed to encourage casual sexual contact between men and women. Rock music has only grown more suggestive with time, as have rock stars, helping create a popular culture that thrives on marketing sexuality.
Part of these changing attitudes was reflected in the sexual behavior of teenagers in the 1950s. Modern people have an image of the 1950s as a chaste and innocent time. However, sexual relations changed dramatically in the 1950s, even before the…...

Given the popularity of online dating and dating apps, writing an argumentative essay against online dating is a good choice. It is always more interesting to write a position paper that may be unusual, because it is unlikely to recycle the same arguments that your professor will see in other papers. There is actually a myriad of reasons that online dating may not be as successful (or as safe) as traditional in-person dating, and any of these reasons could serve as the basis for an argumentative essay. They include but are not limited to potential....
