The study of online dating primarily focuses on the experiences of daters in the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia, examining their online profiles to understand the narratives, norms, emotions, and "chemistry" that shape their dating interactions. The emergence and widespread popularity of internet dating have sparked a debate among commentators, both in the popular media and academia, regarding its effectiveness compared to traditional offline dating methods. Taking a socio-political approach, this book aims to explore the potential of online dating in promoting gender and sexual equality. By drawing on the insights and perspectives of internet daters themselves, the book demonstrates how social change can often emerge from the most ordinary and familiar aspects of everyday life.

Furthermore, the study extends its attention to older daters, often overlooked in the broader discourse on online dating. It recognizes the unique challenges and experiences of daters in various regions, including Africa, Scandinavia, South America, Asia, and the Middle East. Throughout the book, we delve into the complexities and pleasures of both men and women daters navigating unconventional paths toward more equitable social relations.

In conclusion, this book offers a comprehensive examination of the world of online dating, shedding light on the experiences, perspectives, and implications of daters across different regions and demographics. By exploring the potential of online dating to promote gender and sexual equality, as well as its impact on older daters and those in diverse cultural contexts, the book provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of modern dating.
