No internet relationships generally are stupid [/quote] And you are the leading source on this? How many internet relationships have you been in? How many people do you personally know that have been in an internet relationship? I'm pretty sure if I said that long distance relationships were stupid I'd get a few hate remarks as well.

Tentacruel Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Lol, I wasn't implying that caring about looks is shallow, I was just referencing the fact that many members on this site claim to not care about looks, particularly the person I was replying to.

Rehva Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 [size="5"][b]JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW. WHEN I WAS 10, I HAD A INTERNET GIRLFRIEND AND SHE TURNED OUT TO BE A MAN. LOOOOOL.[/b][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master White Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 You know, I wouldn't really care about these dating sites if they didn't cost you anything, but after my mom passed away and I was a senior in high school, my Dad actually hooked up online with a chick, she looked around and found him. It was through Myspace and I was a little creeped for a few. They talked for 6 months online, then they decided to meet each other and it all went through. She is good looking, sweet, and kind lady, works, likes living on the ranch/farm and etc and I've been trying to figure out what she likes in my dad....Maybe its just him, but I'm not to keen on it yet. But now its 2 years and everything going well, so, I guess, its all fine and dandy. I'm a person that really doesn't care to much as long as the 2 are happy. Me: I say NO to any site that wants to date, really, I have it on Facebook saying I'm single and etc, and so far 2 requests came up, and I am still wondering who is Lisa Sanchez, it was weird. She just wanted me to be her friend, which is alright, but who knows, could be some guy behind the mask. So, I say let the E-NET daters be free and choose how they want to date, just leave me out of it unless you send me a picture of the REAL YOU and age and tell me a little about yourself, like people who actually have pictures open to public to see is great IMO.

Just do a webcam chat if you're really that focused on appearances. I don't think it's creepy. Nor do I think it's weird. I wouldn't do it because I'm a bit traditional and prefer to talk face to face near the person instead of online, but I see the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 [i]Just do a webcam chat if you're really that focused on appearances.[/i] Human interaction [b]is not the same as[/b] talking to someone's virtual face through a screen. Get that straight. I personally find it extremely stupid and awkward if people decide to get engaged through voice chat, video chat, and a shitton of text. Again, it's normal for people to talk to someone over the internet for a few months and go to their state to visit them for legitimate human interaction. That's not really much of a problem, and it could be just about as good as a real relationship. What irks me is when people talk through a computer for [i]years[/i] at a time, decide to get engaged, and then finally meet up. It's stupid, it's not natural, and imo, it doesn't result in a strong relationship. I cannot fathom how people get [b]married[/b] knowing the first two or three years of their relationship were all digital. Again, and I made this comment before, chances are if you have an internet relationship and aren't in college yet, you are rushing things to be able to claim that you have a girlfriend in the first place. The reason most relationships are made in college is because you have [b]constant, guaranteed[/b] interaction with people. Once you are out of college, if you are still single, you have the freedom to talk to someone for two or three months and take the initiative to go visit them. It's not the same with high school students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inexplicable Madness Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 [quote name='King of Nothing' timestamp='1308976491' post='5308964'] There will always be new dating methods and those methods would always be questioned. Before cars, dating simply consisted of writing a letter to the parents of the person you're interested in to get their approval, and then the dates were heavily supervised. You didn't get privacy before marriage. After that, dates were nothing more than harmless fun like going to a drive through and such. Than, after that, I'd say around the 70s-80s, dating was changed into this "Romeo and Juliet" craze, where girls became interested in the "bad boys that daddy didn't like". Boys were no better, they wanted girls they thought were hot and easy. Now we're in the internet trend, where it's both convenient and, from what i've heard, effective. I wouldn't do it, though. I'd want to spend face-to-face time with someone, and I mean without a webcam. That's just my preference, though, and everyone's entitled to their own.

[/quote] Surely you don't mean all internet relationships? I think you are confusing chat-organized meetings with internet relationships. Most internet relationship, specifically if they are internet only, don't normally last or even progress to anything. One is more inclined to get pictures out of a person, then to be able to rape them. Now, when it comes to internet relationships that may start out on the internet, and then progress to RL.. I don't think those end up in rape. Mine surely did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, if it's legit then it shouldn't be much different from dating irl. It's still two people, with two mutually inclined hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solemn Silver Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I came in this topic expecting conversations about idiots on runescape/WoW asking: "Be my BF" With the addition of: "Hey BF, Loan me 2k" "Sure babe" *"Girl" Defreinds and Ignores the guy* Anyway, Its not natural to have a relationship with someone you can't trust 100%, or meet IRL. For some people with EHarmony and stuff like that is a different story, whilst I'm talking about a way people just make themselfs unavailable to the real world. But Its none of my buisness how people interact with relationships. They can do thier thing, I'll do mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's uncommon, but not rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
