Many online dating users ‘have specific questions’

A number of online dating sites are open to all sorts of people, but there are also those that are targeted at specific tastes or interests.

While the general concept of such platforms remains the same, it is up to the user to decide which is most suited to them, the Scotsman explains.

For example, most will ask people to upload a picture of themselves and to write a profile that accurately outlines their personality.

Some will then go on to be quite specific in their line of questioning, which allows people to be matched correctly, the news source notes.

An example is given of the type of direct queries that could be asked, such as "would you like to learn to fly a microlight plane?", which allows users to sort out their potential matches from unsuitable partners.

Seattle Weekly recently suggested one of the beauties of the web is that it saves people "discovery time", as they do not have to consider people with whom they have nothing in common.
