Is there any downside to being a dabbler?

涉猎者有什么缺点吗？

He reserves special scorn for dabblers in internet dating, who evidently believe that the search for “a photo, details of his or her tastes, date of birth, horoscope sign, etc” will ultimately net “a risk-free option”.

他一直都鄙视婚恋网上马虎配对的，显然，这些相信只需搜集未来另一半的“照片，喜好，生日，星座之类的”，终会成功地筛选出一个“零风险的选项”。
