Love, Internet Styles
Interview essay

According to David Brooks (2011) in “Love, Internet Style”: “… 40 million look at online dating sites each month, and we are seeing a revolution in the way people meet and court one another”(para. 4). I interviewed Rachael (personal communication, Feb. 13th. 2015). Who is my best friend, both of us agreed that the Internet has both pros and cons.

Online dating sites make the member set up a profile like “studies show that looks are twice as powerful as income in attracting a mate” (para. 8).

Moreover, online dating is important to everyone looking for their soul mate. Finally, it is really convenient, fast, and cheap than original community. Rachael also agrees with me about people should
