Another Tipping Point Coming
A little over a year ago, I wrote about 9/11 being a tipping point (a la Malcolm Gladwell) for Internet dating, when going online for love and romance suddenly came out of the closet and into our living rooms.
I think we are at another Internet dating tipping point: Going online to find a romantic partner is about to be the #1 option for singles. Right now, “friends and family” is the only method of meeting a Sweetheart that beats out going online. And the attitude that I have been hearing and feeling coming around to is “Why WOULDN’T you be listing online? You are crazy if you AREN’T!”
Just as telegraphs and telephone and then email trumped each other as preferred methods of rapid communication, so too online dating. The access that a good sized site like Yahoo! Personals and Match.com gives an individual to large numbers of interested others, in privacy, is too good not to take first place.
