This chapter, which investigates a range of evidence about online dating behaviour, and a synthesis of approaches to research in this area, also evaluates the nature of the market and the experiences of those who have engaged in online dating. Further issues linked with patterns of online self-disclosure and self-presentation, and concerns about deception in online dating, are then assessed. Corporate data have indicated that the online dating business is mostly on an upward trajectory. Data show greater age difference tolerance of online daters and a willingness to adopt a broader selection of partners compared with offline-only daters. Many online dating site users increasingly fail to be fully engaged by sites that offer search opportunities for partner matches using check-box profiling. The issues of deception and trust in relation to personal profiles have been regarded as problematic factors that could cause tension among online daters.

With the use of internet growing, online dating applications are becoming more relevant in today’s society. With the ever-evolving technology of today’s world, there is still much to be researched and learned. Due to the connectedness of the world shifting from face to face communication to technology based communication, the online dating world is growing rapidly. Online dating has become prevalent in today’s society as a means to meet others. Online dating applications allow users to share information and describe themselves and to be able to choose who they want to pursue as a romantic partner based on the information shared. This study focused on online dating, particularly on the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of an online dating profile. Various levels of self-presentation and self-disclosure were used to examine how they impacted people’s favorability to certain online dating profiles. Self-presentation focused on profile pictures and how participants convey themselves and the deception of online dating. Self-disclosure focused on how positively or negatively the amount of disclosure or lack thereof can affect the dating profile. The study focused on the dating profile itself and what content the user decides to share.

Front Region

Human interactions are being communicated by means of electronic, Internet-based Medias. This research is about representation differ in presentation on online dating applications. This study is aimed at understanding how images are used as a means of creating an identity, specifically through Tinder. Self-presentation is divided into two parts: the front region and the back region. The front region is the area where a person displays a self-presentation that he/she wants to show the audience or user in this context in the picture. Front region consists of setting, appearance, and manner that are related to each other. In the back region, the appearance is a visual appearance that is not displayed or any activity performed. That will create impression management in Tinder which create personal branding. In this study qualitative method are used to answer the research questions. The process of research involves emerging questions and procedures, data typically collected in the participant’s setting, data analysis inductively building from particulars to general themes, and the researcher making interpretations of the meaning of the data. The results showed that starting from self-presentation, every participant have their own style to build their own personal branding to make him/her unique among all the other tinder user. This allows them to stand out. The implication of this research is the need for management of personal branding for every individual involved because personal branding is really important as a form of self-presentation in order to compete in relationship or business.

Social Media Platforms

Social media are playing an increasing role in today’s living. The social media platforms allow users to search, create, share, collaborate, and organise contents among them, and at the same time provide virtual self-presentation and self-disclosure of oneself. Social media were also claimed to give implications to human beings with regards to personality, yet these variables have not much been emphasised in previous studies. Thus, it is important to highlight the implications of social media on users’ personality. Given the issues and challenges faced by the country in profiling the adoption of social media and its implications in view of the perspective of personality, it is timely and significantly important to undertake this research in Malaysia. The objective of this chapter is to discuss a research conducted recently to determine the relationships between social media and personality traits. The specific objectives of this study are to identify the profile of social media adoption among students in Malaysia, including duration, frequency of use, purpose, and person/s that introduced the social media, and to determine the relationships between social media and personality traits.

The Rich

Computer-mediated communication offers a range of potentially appealing features, including selective self-presentation, social presence control, and simultaneous as well as asynchronous interaction tools. The study examines the influence of personality (introversion and extraversion) and personal variables (social anxiety and public self-consciousness) on online dating preferences from two competing perspectives: the “social compensation” (SC) hypothesis and the “rich-get-richer” (RGR) hypothesis. Survey results (N = 162) revealed that the SC and RGR hypotheses do not hold true within the context of online dating. The findings suggest a stronger role of social influence (e.g., peers) in the decision to online date. The SC and RGR hypotheses may be limited in terms of the extent to which these frameworks adequately explain this online behavior. This may also be due to the increasing popularity of online dating sites, which may make personality and personal traits less informative of whether individuals will opt to use such services.

Insight Into

Online dating has become an increasingly acceptable way for “singles” to meet appropriate partners. The author uses discourse analysis to explore the use of language in the construction of gendered identities in 20 online profiles, comparing the norms of gender presentation and communication with the ways in which language is used to signal various kinds of gendered “selves.” Dating sites require users to develop a new literacy of self-presentation, one that reinforces and re-inscribes the tendency toward promotionalism that permeates contemporary social life. In this context, how are Internet and social media users tapping into existing social and cultural resources and putting gender norms to work in their representations of self? How do online dating sites provide insight into an ongoing, reflexive process of self-promotion and self-construction?Les services de rencontre en ligne sont devenus un moyen de plus en plus acceptable pour les célibataires de chercher des partenaires convenables. Dans cet article, l’auteure a recours à l’analyse du discours afin d’explorer, dans vingt profils en ligne, l’utilisation du langage pour la construction d’une identité sexuée. L’auteure compare les normes de présentation et de communication de genre avec la manière dont le langage est utilisé pour afficher diverses sortes de soi sexués. Les sites de rencontre obligent les utilisateurs à développer une nouvelle présentation de soi qui renforce et réinscrit une tendance à ce type de promotion qui est si présent dans la vie sociale contemporaine. Dans ce contexte, comment les utilisateurs d’internet et des médias sociaux utilisent-ils les ressources sociales et culturelles qui sont à leur disposition et comment incorporent-ils les normes de genre dans leurs représentations de soi? Comment d’autre part les sites de rencontre permettent-ils de mieux comprendre les processus continus et réflexifs de la promotion et de la construction de soi?
