Why do we hear so many bad things about online dating? It really is a good thing. That's why I love articles like this that talk about the benefits of online dating.

The first benefit listed was the ability to meet people in the comfort of your own home. I couldn't agree more, but want to add that a "meeting" doesn't mean you KNOW the person. It means you were introduced, and still need to do the hard work of getting to see what the person is like.

The second point of the article, judging people on their personalities rather than looks, is also true. Smart online daters will read a person's profile and try to correspond with them before deciding if they are the right one for them. They won't just go by a photo alone.
