Many sites already offer software programs that let users tap into their services via smartphones and other devices. But that is just the beginning of a far bigger revolution in which people will be given technology that allows them to court other members of a dating service in real time.
Already firms such as Skout and Flirtomatic let users send messages to other members in the neighborhood, whose exact locations are masked for safety reasons. Looking ahead, executives foresee a day when people no longer need to fill in questionnaires on several dating sites. Instead, their personal information will be held on servers in "data clouds" that will alert them automatically when a potential love interest is nearby.
Some dating services are also exploring novel ways. Rather than proposing matches based solely on the results of questionnaires and personality tests, sites such as ScientificMatch and Gene-Partner are experimenting with "scientific" matching methods. By making genetic information the core of their matching techniques, they are betting that they can find true chemistry between potential lovers.
Such experimentation will no doubt fuel the fears of those who worry that cyber dating is com-moditizing intimacy and undermining marriages. It is certainly plausible that the Wal-Marts of the online-dating world, with their overflowing virtual shelves of potential partners, have created the impression that a new flame can be found (and an existing one discarded or cheated on)in a mouse-click. But again some skepticism is warranted. Rising divorce rates and a growth in casual dating were apparent well before the first online matchmaking sites came into being. And advertising for love is hardly new: There were classified ads and lonely-hearts columns long before the Internet appeared.
It is also true that a site such as Ashley Madison facilitates extramarital dating. But to blame the service for unfaithfulness is to confuse cause and effect. Noel Biderman, the site’ s founder, says the idea for his business came to him when he heard people complaining that a sizeable percentage of folk on mainstream dating sites were married and disguising themselves as singles in order to find partners for affairs.
Some sites—notably in India—have been subject to a different criticism: That they consolidate tradition rather than undermine it, by making it easier for people to find partners from the same background as themselves. But at the same time services such as Shaadi and BharatMatrimony have also facilitated numerous so-called "love marriages" in which people have found partners without the intervention of parents or official matchmakers. Like love itself, the world of online matchmaking is full of happy surprises.
The author’ s attitude towards online dating service can be described as
选项
A、tolerant.
B、supportive.
C、passionate.
D、suspicious.
