Online websites and apps may be inferior because: There are disadvantages to online dating. Many people have had bad experiences. People lie so often appearances and attitudes are deceiving.!

Both methods online and traditional offer the same range of intents:!
!!!!!!!!
“Some Tinder users are looking for a one night stand, whereas others hope to find their soul mate.
However, Tinder is no more complicated than dating in ‘real life’. After all, not every couple that meets for
dinner and a movie intends to get married.” - cite!
And the success rates are increasing!!

connections with people whom we would likely never otherwise meet
or talk to.!

relationships just as well as the traditional approach of dating can.!

texts, photos, videos, voice notes, and songs to create a
story together.! Photo by: h)ps://www.flickr.com/photos/8840978@N08/3276034277/in/photolist-‐5ZuwRB-‐7uZPny-‐
