Dating On The Internet: Author Experiment Part 1. "One, Two, Three, Four, Five: I'm Going For You"

Sitting after work on the veranda of a summer cafe in the expectations of a friend and sipping "Mahito", I had nothing to do but look around to somehow brighten up both my expectation and her delay. To the right sat a romantic couple, which is clearly at the beginning of the relationship, judging by the manner to hold: the posture is even, the manners are good, the pauses are awkward. To the left of me, a couple who hardly communicates with each other, it is more interesting to read the menu: they are given an experience of relations, and now clearly not the best period. Looking at them, she thought: where do they all meet? When the friend nevertheless arrived at the dinner party late at night, I voiced my question. The answer did not particularly surprise me: on the Internet, of course! But she did not provide me with the details, but my inquisitive mind can not do without them. But if you have not been given details, it does not mean that you can not get them. And I got it. I share.

Despite the fact that they would have gone away far after midnight, I remembered the desire to obtain facts or personal experience. I make coffee, I turn on the computer, I sit down comfortably. Where to begin? From the search engine. I type: dating on the Internet and freeze: several pages with dating resources! I go to the first one that comes to my eyes and my eyes start to scatter: there's nobody there! Having recovered a little, I begin to understand the structure of this "window to Europe"

Registering. They offer me to fill out a questionnaire, I also fill in the column "about myself" and upload a photo. For myself, I immediately decided that I would post my photos: it's always interesting what concerns you personally. All this took an hour and a half of my time: I honestly answered the questions of the questionnaire. Running ahead I will say: write a minimum, since an even greater minimum will read your works on the topic of your loved one.

Also in the questionnaire some questions were surprised, they were written in the form of a test, with the possibility to choose.

For example.

Your financial situation:

Below average - average - very good earnings - I own my business - I want to be provided.

Immediately make a reservation that judging by the dating sites, in our country everything is not so bad: not lower than the middle class 80 percent, very well earn as much as 10 percent, 8 percent are rich and even timid 2 percent claim to keep themselves loved by your investments. And notice: I did not find any "below average" level.

Before I spent some time on the dating site, I did not know that on the Internet about myself you can lie in any roles and proportions and the chances of catching you in the opposite are illusive. But everything comes with experience.

Investigating further, I find the following: the search engine. That is, I myself can designate the necessary criteria up to

Growth, the sign of the zodiac and the very material position of the chosen one. She ticked off what she considered important and necessary: age: 35 to 43, physique: athletic, purpose of acquaintance: love and relationships, financial situation: earns well. And then for me the truth was revealed: the search engine issued my criteria, but not all in the wake of the Apollo, but no one forbids to hope. I asked for a sporting physique, but I see a person with a burdened beer circumstance in the form of a serious belly. Then I noticed that he was obviously not up to 35 and obviously after 43. After spending another 2 hours I came to the conclusion that out of 2,000 questionnaires my criteria corresponded to the strength of two dozen. Of the two dozen it turned out that our goals do not coincide and the list was reduced to seven. Well, seven is a good figure, but, comparing it with 2000, it becomes sad, but not for long. Because further communication begins.

Advice for future applicants: filling out the search engine, try not to fill it thoroughly. Do not write in the search for a brunette, if to you as a whole it is not important and do not choose the sign of the Zodiac, because the Fish may well be worthy of the desired Scorpio. Narrowing your search by your criteria, you minimize the chances.

It is important to clarify that the search option is two: either you go to look, or look for you.

Having welded myself another portion of coffee, I established myself in thought by two ways: in this case, maximalism is justified and the goal is clear: I really need to understand how this thing works!
