两篇关于Online Dating的有趣文章的摘录

Quoted from conclusion:
In the early days of the internet, there was widespread hope that digital technologies would help break down stereotypes and bring the world closer together. That hasn’t happened. If, however, interracial dating is thought of as a kind of prism, one reflecting a wide range of intersecting dynamics and biases, a peculiarity of online dating apps is how they tend to crystalize these preferences. By bringing together a highly diverse dating pool into one place, they bring these preferences, and their underlying biases, into the light.(SIXTH TONE)

Quoted from TIME(2020):
Overall, the study found, Internet dating is a good thing, especially for singles who don't otherwise have many opportunities to meet people. The industry has been successful, of course — and popular.Digital dating is now the second most common way that couples get together, after meeting through friends.
Physical appearance and other intangible characteristics may certainly be part of the spark that brings two people together, but having to sift through hundreds of profiles may become overwhelming, forcing the looker to start making relationship decisions based on increasingly superficial and ultimately irrelevant criteria.Over time, people start to form inflated or overly particular views about the other person, which leaves them at risk for being disappointed in the end.
In the real world, it takes days or even weeks for the mating dance to unfold, as people learn each other's likes and dislikes and stumble through the awkward but often rewarding process of finding common ground.

Online Dating 是否加剧了恋爱的偏见化？是否会更加容易错过注定的另一半呢？两篇文章的调查显示这些情况确实存在。
但我们还是一个保有一些怀疑态度。
选择——分类，这一过程中是否会有偏见化的思维和刻板化倾向的产生？没有生活了解的网约是否危机重重？（比如我在手机聊天里比较外向，可在社会中或许表现的更加内向）

或许更加留心，也许通过研究会有新的天地。
