There are plenty of options for today’s tech-savvy singles. I remember one television commentator saying. “There are more dating sites in the world than there are hospitals in the US. That’s almost too many. How do you even choose the right one?”
One thing that online dating is able to offer is websites (or dating sites) that are focused on certain social characteristics. There are dating websites for almost any category you could think of.
There are sites for specific worldwide geographic locations. Sites are designed to emphasize the U.S.; the U.K.; Canada; Australia; Russia; and India. Although this list is not comprehensive, it does paint the picture of what type of geographical dating exists.
Dating websites are available for certain ages. All of the typical age groups are represented. These include dating sites for teens; young adults; Middle-aged people; and even senior citizens.
Of course there are dating sites specifically suited for one’s sexual orientation. There are dating sites for straights; gays; lesbians; bisexuals; and transgender individuals.
Religion is an especially important factor in partner compatibility. So the main religions are certainly represented in the array of available dating sites. There are dating sites for Christians; Jews; Muslims; and general spiritualists.
Race and ethnicity are also well-represented in the top dating sites. There are dating sites aimed specifically at Blacks; Whites; Asians; Latinos; and sites for people who want to date interracially.

It’s also not surprising that some dating sites are aimed at the economically-minded dater. In this category there are three types of dating sites. There are the free dating sites. Then there are the “affordable” dating sites. And lastly, you probably guessed it, there are dating sites that are costly and provide the daters with a sense of exclusivity. I guess you could say this last category has somewhat of a designer type dating orientation. You can only join if you can afford to.
The last category of dating sites is the most unusual. This category includes odd niche dating sites aimed at really specific dater such as Trekies; sugar daddies; outdoor-oriented lifestyles; and even a dating site aimed at people who are fascinated with “My Favorite Pony.”
What I did learn was that online dating did have its risks and its rewards. After all, anyone could be anything they wanted to be online. Then again, specifically targeted dating websites could narrow down and separate the riff from the raff. So the risk-reward factor is probably a wash. Like with any type of life experience, a person will have to learn as-they-go.
Some of the most popular dating sites revolved around religion
Believe it or not, according to research, dating sites can lead to less divorce. There are a few reasons for this. One reason is that online dating sites encourage “Intentional Dating.” According to Sarah Hanlon:
“In short, dating sites can cut through the clutter and get to the heart of why a couple would want to meet, date, and even marry by avoiding the random chance that the partners would randomly meet in a social venue such as the local bar scene. Researchers found that people who meet online are more in tune with what they’re looking for, and what they want to get out of the experience.”
Hanlon goes on to say that Internet dating can result in stronger marriages. She says that dating sites can lead to more fulfilling marriages in comparison to relationships formed offline. This means that these types of relationships can “go deep, and go deep faster” since the wheat is separated from Raparigas sensuais anastasiadate the chaff from the get-go. So, in the end, Hanlon says that marriages from online relationships were more likely to experience a more satisfactory bond, which resulted in “…marriages that last longer than marriages formed offline.”
