Some of these
differences include: the ability to search from a deep pool of potential partners outside of one's existing social networks; the ability to communicate online or via email prior to arranging for a face - to - face interaction; and matching algorithms that allow users to filter potential partners based on pre-existing criteria.3 Other research has indicated that the efficiency of online dating and the size of the potential dating pool compared with traditional methods make the process especially useful for people (such as
gays and lesbians, or middle aged heterosexuals) who may have limited options for meeting people within their immediate geographic area or social circle.4 Still others have speculated that the rise of online dating has encouraged young adults, especially men, to forego marriage because they can always find women to date and that lowers their interest
in committing to long term
relationships.5
«The
difference on these «control» related emotions suggests that fairness and power - sharing between the partners is more important and more common
in gay and lesbian
relationships than
in straight ones,» Gottman explained.
One study comparing interracial and same - race lesbian couples found no
differences in reported levels of stress or social support between those in interracial or same - race relationships.3 In a separate study, gay men in Black / White interracial relationships reported little resistance toward their relationships from friends, mixed reactions from family, and few problems dealing with cultural differences with their partners
