Cupids Dating Blog

There are a lot of other sites out there, too, for people with more romantic leanings, but just thought I'd throw that one in there because we're on the subject of incorrect stereotypes. A lot of people still think that anyone looking for a lustier encounter has to have some critical problem or character flaw, but this seems like a pretty prudish attitude to me. The fact is that people need a little companionship, so to speak, and not everyone has the time to invest in long-term relationships.

Maybe a better way of saying it is that not everyone has a lifestyle that's conducive to long, traditional courtships or other domestic models. There are a lot of people with jobs that require them to travel a lot, that force them to keep to odd schedules or, for various reasons, don't allow them to live in ways that the majority of people think as normal. That doesn't mean they're not interested in long-term relationships or can't have them, it just means that the people they spend their time with are going to have to be open-minded or be in similar situations.

We live in a world where people spend more time at work than with their friends or families, and meeting people is increasingly difficult. Dating sites just make it easier to be specific about what you're looking for, which seems like a way better idea than having everyone involved going in blind.
