Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Since their inception in the early 1990s, online dating sites have increased in popularity among the singles population in the United States, providing an opportunity to meet singles through computer mediated communication. The online dating process generally involves the construction of a profile detailing characteristics both offered and sought in a mate or date. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how these constructions reinforce and challenge traditional gender roles for men and women seeking heterosexual companionship. A content analysis of 80 profiles on the online dating web site Match.com provided results suggesting that although traditional roles were challenged in some respects, they tended to be reinforced and perpetuated through the construction of profiles on this particular web site.
