Expressing an Opinion - 2 ( Meeting people through online dating sites. )

  We can view online dating as a negative point. First of all, in chat rooms, on dating websites and on discussion forums, people meet strangers naturally just like in the offline world and fall in love with each other easily. It is very dangerous to meet the person through online dating sites because he or she may not be as perfect as you know. It is easy for people to be what they want to be through the Internet. In addition, some researches show that online dating attracts criminals. In the real life, we are used to protecting ourselves from being robbed or cheated, but the Internet has provided criminals with new victims who are unprotected because of their unfamiliarity with new technology. Criminals look for lonely people to date with them on the Net. In general, people forget their common sense and give out their credit card information or even send money to them because of the unfamiliarity and friendship. Meeting with the criminals may lead to terrible consequences. It is for all these reasons and more that I believe meeting people through online dating sites is dangerous.
