Review of Previous Research
According to research by the internet dating executive alliance (2011), the increased use of online dating among people has led to several changes in the dynamic of relationships. Through online dating, there has been an increase in interracial marriages, increased acceptance of gays, and the increased pickiness of singles. Single individuals are able to select wisely from a larger pool of people within the dating sites. With just the touch of a button, a single individual can connect with other singles throughout the world. This research further suggests that internet dating has led to a reduction in prostitution and the spread of diseases such as HIV and STIs.
