Can you really find true love on the Internet?

Dr Martin Graff

Dr Martin Graff will discuss internet dating, gender attraction and virtual affairs in a meeting held by the Aberystwyth regional hub of the British Psychological Society entitled ‘Can you really find true love on the Internet?...and other things about online romance’.

The talk will be on Wednesday 26th November 2014, 6pm in the Aberystwyth University Arts Centre Bar.

The session will examine issues surrounding internet dating and Dr Graff will be also giving some factual advice on how to construct dating site profiles and how to approach an online liaison with a potential dating partner.

The talk will draw on current empirical studies on online relationships and on the online disinhibition effect. This effect suggests that people disclose personal information more quickly in online environments.
