Empowering Single WomenSociologists from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada have made wide strides toward explaining the draw that online dating represents for women. Their study explores the romantic journeys of 27 women, ranging from 30 to 61 years of age. Studying the effects of internet dating on the behavior and perspectives of these women, the study's authors discovered that there are spiritual rewards to be garnered from the liberating practices of web matchmaking. Susan Frohlick, an associate professor of gives her unusual insight into the long term ramifications of various social constructs, claims that single women are empowered as they use the world wide web to find what they seek in romance. Asserting that a "second wave of online dating" is sweeping North American connections, Frohlick illustrates how romantic lives are changing as technology evolves. Her study puts it succinctly as it describes one participant: "The Internet was integral to the formation of herself as a sexually attractive and sexually active person, and to the development of a group of people she now considers her friends and support." For many, this scientific assessment of the value of web personals services sites may seem hard to swallow. For a long time, social networking on the web was considered a pastime for freaks and geeks. Relationships made online, then, were treated as the natural order for socially unsavvy individuals. But a quick perusal of matchmaking websites and internet dating services proves that the initially denigrating perspective on those who are willing to take a chance on finding love online is evaporating. More and more singles admit that finding new dates is at least one good reason to establish a personal ads page on the internet. Empowered and in touch with their innate sexuality, North American singles are keeping it real, taking it to new heights, and exploiting their natural talents as never before. Few would argue that consenting adults are wrong to act on instinct. Indeed, the very notion that an anthropological/sociological study can be used to better understand such intricate meetings and connections demonstrates that love evolves even under the lens of modern technology.
