Online Daters

When I first heard about online dating a few years ago, it was just in its infancy and so of course, there were a great many comments, both positive and negative, to be made about it. Now, years later, there still are.

What exactly is an online dater? It’s someone who has centered their focus on meeting someone through the internet. There are even people who have given up trying to meet someone in any other venue.

Who is the online dater? The online dater is the man in front of you or behind you in the grocery checkout line, no matter what his age is. He’s the man who just cut you off to get to the traffic light ahead of you, he’s the loudmouth at the bar, he’s the idiot standing behind you at motor vehicle. He’s the more mature man who just held the door open for you, he’s the guy who delivers water or packages at your office, he’s the man who smiled at you after you accidentally cut him off.  He’s the man pouring your coffee or changing your tires or washing his clothes in the local Laundromat. He could be your neighbor, your colleague, your boss, your brother, your best friend, your nephew, your son or even your husband.

Online daters-the men-are everywhere. And they are single, married, involved,   depressed, interested, anxious, lonely, confident, overbearing, quiet, active, lazy, generous, stingy, easily angered, comfortably laid back…as well as being fit, fat or in between; bald, hairy, hairless, readers, non readers, sport fans, mama boys, short, tall, unattractive, cute, nice, dull…it goes on and on.
