Are you sick of all the stupid online dating myths that we are constantly bombarded with? When you’re sitting around as a single and watch one of those dating site commercials or read an ad, you’ll notice one thing they have in common above all else. No, it’s not that they all claim to produce results – although they do make that claim. And no, it’s not the fairly similar stories brought to you and the colorful gitty-up of the advertisement.
Myths of Dating Don’t Need to Control the Internet
What they all have in common is the beauty factor. Whether in magazines, on TV or on an Internet banner ad, when a dating site is advertised, it’s usually advertised with an attractive couple finding love. Thin, well-groomed, great skin, bright eyes – the type of people you see in Hollywood and not necessarily in your local bar.
Because of this misleading factor, we’ll discuss a myth that’s been brewing for a few years in the dating industry. What’s the myth? Only attractive singles can make a connection and find true love.
Blowing the Dating Myth Wide Open for Real Dating to Happen
In order to bust this dating myth, which, trust me, is busted 100%, you have to really understand that society’s ad image of beauty isn’t necessarily what people in the real world equate with beauty.
Media would have you think so. But it’s simply misleading. Take the American media for example. 90% of media in America habitually slams and dogs and drags Glenn Beck—a popular political talk-show host—through the mud on a daily basis. Without fail, however, millions of people still tune in.
How does that translate to dating? It’s saying, essentially, that what you’re “told” to do isn’t what you’re necessarily going to do.
The fact of the matter is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, meaning it’s basically relative to every person. So you can rest assured that beauty to one maybe be a turnoff to others, and vice versa.
Be Real and Online Dating Gets a Whole Lot Better
You don’t have to view yourself as attractive—though it would greatly help—or have the lion’s share of the singles market thinking you’re a looker. So long as there’s that one person out there thinking you’re a diamond in the rough, that’s all you need.
With millions upon millions of people using free dating sites out there, the odds of someone not finding you attractive are astronomically small.
Never fight to fit a false definition of beauty given to you by someone else. Be true to yourself and have faith that Mr. or Miss Right are out there and looking for you – and possibly even looking right at you as we speak.
