Online Personals and Dating Services: How they Operate

By Charles L Harmon

Online personals dating services can bring companionship and romance to many who use those services. Everyone needs some sort of companionship. It is a very important aspect of life. Without it life can be very dull and uninteresting. How to get it can be a big problem for some of us.

In some cases, companionship and the human emotion of love has proven to be even more valuable than the lives of those who seek it. Those cases of our emotions of love being more valuable than the life of those who want it may only come to light if there is a terrible accident or situation where one loses their life saving someone they love.

In Abraham Maslow’s “A Theory of Human Motivation”, he illustrated an ordered set of needs. They illustrate the needs of man (and woman) arranged as if in a staircase or pyramid.

The needs are ordered as shown below:

5. —Self-
actualization–
4. ——-Esteem——–
3. ——Love/ Belonging——
2. ————-Safety————–
1. ——-Physiological (most basic)———

Maslow’s theory contends that in order to get to the next level of the stairs, man must first satisfy whatever is in the lower level. That is, our more basic needs have to be satisfied first. So in order to try and satisfy the need for safety, man must first satisfy his most basic need to live, and so on.

The need for love is just after the need for safety and right before the need for esteem. So that as long as people have satisfied their basic living requirements and feel secure in that situation, they then begin to look for love. Its pretty difficult to concentrate on love or relationships if one’s life is at risk or he is at the brink of losing his will to live.

These things have not changed for centuries. It’s not likely they will change in the foreseeable future either. However, the different methods in looking for love have changed. There has been a major new way to find love and companionship since the advent of the Internet, specifically the World Wide Web. Online personals dating services have sprung up and come into their own. They are making inroads into the mainstream of American life. It’s not just in this country, but over most of the world.

Influenced by technology and a rise in consciousness, finding a companion has never been this easy or this hard. This hard being it’s just more difficult to find someone compatible with you since everything is more complicated than the past. There are more variables to contend with.

One of the common tools in use today is online personals dating services. Without the Internet or some type of online operation this would not be possible. Just a few keystrokes and searches using your browser on your computer gets you going. There is usually some money involved as it is normally not totally free if you want all the information on a person and/or chat or see a video of them.

Online personals dating services are Internet companies dedicated to making matches between people and earning some cash in the process. Because of current technology its relatively easy for them to allow you to search their databases of potential companions. The companions could be local, country wide ,or even international, depending on the services you use.

Here’s how it works. A hopeful posts information about him or herself on an online personals dating services website. This gets you “out there in cyberspace” where it is possible for others searching to find your information can access it and make a decision to acquire your detailed personal info or pass you by. Once that’s done you are in the system. You can then browse for other users who are categorized by their personal information.

You can find someone compatible yourself by your own searches. In addition, since your information is available for others to see you could get responses from others without actually searching on your own. Either way it is possible for you to find a potential candidate for your future relationship.

With some online personals dating services, you only need to type a keyword of what you are looking for in a companion, and a list of those matching your request promptly appears. Others may take a few more steps to find the same person. Some sites offer more detailed searches or hold more specifically categorized data, making it easier to find a person with those particular traits or interests.

Some online personals dating services make it even more automatic. They try to match you with their other users and constantly send you emails of who would be a potential match for you. If you think you have found who you are looking for, you can contact the person and see if it works.

Other online personals dating services give out the information you need to connect for free, or otherwise allow you to contact the potential someone by your own methods.

There are online personals dating services, however, which require you to pay them so they can contact the person for you. Some of these may be more discrete or have a “higher class” of potential companions than the free or low cost services. Read everything before you decide to pay a premium for one of the services to introduce you to one of their “clients.”

Other types of online personals dating services prohibit the users from giving any personal information directly to others. Those who want to contact each other have to pay more cash in order to meet, or even to talk!

There are even online personals dating services that would just be there to help facilitate the meeting, not to earn cash from answering such an important need.

The world is getting smaller everyday, and online personals dating services have made it even smaller. Now, people from all over the world can meet each other and discuss, if nothing else, the possibilities or getting together.

If you are able to hook up with someone, through online personals dating services, you will be joining the thousands that have achieved success via online personals dating services. With the millions of Internet users and new millions getting their feet wet on the Internet every week, the world keeps getting smaller everyday. Give online personals dating services a try if you are looking for a more focused way of finding a partner for your lacking or unsatisfying relationship. Anything is possible due to the millions of others also searching for companionship that are in the same or similar situations.
