On-line dating - better or worse than traditional dating?

Since the internet was created, our life has changed a lot, including the way we meet new people. We can now log in in a dating web and make plans with someone you have never  seen. The question is: is this new way of dating people better or worse than the traditional ways.

There are thousands of people who do log in daily in this type of website, hoping to meet their "significant other". The reasons they use they use this way instead of the traditional one could be any, going from shyness to ease of dating, passing through cheapness and comfort. Some people are so shy that can't talk face to face to a person after they know the other person as they were best friends. Others, simply thinks it's easier to  find a person you may like by typing his or her characterisrics  in a search bar.

However, on-line dating has its risks. One of them is always present when you start talking with other person, and it is the fact that you don't know who really is the person talking to you at the other end of the chat. His or her profile may say that he or she is 20 years old, blond and 1.70 m tall, when she or he is in fact 54, dark-haired and 1.50 m tall. that's something you don't really know unless you meet him or her in real life.

In my opinion, I think both ways have their fors and against reasons, so the best thing is to use the one you prefer or is more suitable for you, as you may prefer to say some things face to face that other people prefer to say on a on-line chat.
