the paradox of choice.

or, why on-line dating hurts relationships.

for those of you that won`t watch the video, though i highly recommmend it, the reason why on-line dating hurts relationships is that there is too much choice.

men and women go on-line and scan scores of faces and profiles and as they whittle thier picks down and actually choose people to communicate with...there is this nagging doubt that they could have chosen the other guy, or that there maybe was a better looking one somewhere else.....even though they date and see the person and possibly marry.

and the feeling persists.

and many who find themselves in relationships from the internet, will take a look at what they missed, now and then.
