This work approaches the modern phenomenon of online dating,
examining the ways people make use of its technical and social
potential. In particular, the users' mate preferences, choices,
strategies, and interactions are analyzed using the innovative
method of click-stream observations and web-questionnaire data. For
the purpose of these analyses, two major theories are used - an
explicit theory of individual mate choice, and the more general
relational theory developed by Pierre Bourdieu, which helps to
highlight the social structures both underlying and resulting from
mating online. Results show that online dating is not a partner
marker free from social structure, but that the traditional social
conditions found offline are also reproduced in this virtual
setting. In contrast to the picture drawn by media discourse and
advertising, online dating represents a partner market which
fulfills the promise of happiness in a socially differential way.
