Very negatively weighted

This article has a much larger section describing the potential negatives of online dating than the positives. It feels like it was partly written by users burned by the system. No mention is made of the obvious fact that, for instance, online dating has at the very least made it easier for people living in rural settings or small communities to access potential mates, those with very busy careers, or the disabled, or people whose mobility is restricted for various other reasons. The statistics regarding the vast boomer population that is single and turning to the internet are not expanded on. The various negatives that are the same whether one is dating on or offline are not emphasized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.113.164.82 (talk) 08:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
