Mobile Dating - Making the Dating Game Better?

In the early adopting Asian countries like Korea and Japan, mobile dating has become a stable entity on the dating scene.

Mobile phones have improved so much in form, usability and functionality that online dating merged seamlessly into mobile dating.

The advantages and disadvantages of the online dating phenomenon have been discussed to the point of exhaustion. But what are will change in the dating game now that online dating is gaining momentum?

Given both parties are brave and willing to take the experience off satellite, matches can be made quicker and more efficiently.

While online dating still had mobility restrictions, mobile dating now offers you to be in the dating circuit 24/7, wherever and whenever. You are not locked to a laptop, or even more restricting - a pc anymore, your small mobile device carries all the data - compact and unassuming. Nobody will know if you are just confirming your calendar appointments or accepting a contact request of a hot date.

But mobile dating also has inherent disadvantages. Critics have always pointed out that the concept of continuious availability is not only a good thing. Being always available creates a certain dependency....and in mobile dating this could mean you checking your phone every few minutes for any dating updates.

And even though hardware, technology and functionality of mobile phones have increased significantly, the presentation of your mobile dating profile will suffer because of the specifications of mobile page design. You will be able to present less information about you, and a small screen will also lower the quality of your profile pictures.

In conclusion, mobile dating offers more than online dating. But technology has to continuously improve to provide the same user experience as online dating.
