What is so great about online dating sites?

I know it sounds clich� but dating sites are really popular especially for less confident people or people who don't like to go "out" as in to bars etc. it just gives people a chance to meet people they share interests and hobbies with etc. You shouldn't completely dismiss them or slate them because they are the reason why so many people have found love. My cousin found his partner on a dating site (they are both in their early 30's) and they are now married with a gorgeous baby girl. It does work, more often than you think actually.
