But the question is, Is Online dating a good thing?
It's a crapshoot.
Whats your opinion on it?
My opinion is negative. But I suck at it. The last time I tried it, I was lonely, living in Hong Kong, 3 thousand miles away from my closest friends. That's probably why I have such a bleak opinion of it.
Do they never workout?
Nah. They sometimes work out. About as much as any other method that I've seen.
Is it just a fad?
This is why I really responded. No, unfortunately, it's not a fad. It might have been labelled a fad 10 years ago. But it no longer is. When movies like “You've Got Mail” are now OLD movies, it's no longer a fad. Must Love Dogs … Because I Said So … movies like that are treating it like it's a normal thing. That means there's an audience that accepts it as normal. And you've got the eharmony and match.com ad campaigns. That legitimizes it in the public consciousness.
Do only NERDS do it because they cant get a girlfriend in reallife so they have to result to cyberspace?
We're well past the stage that only nerds hook up online. When Paris Hilton's blackberry is getting hacked … and when Lindsay Lohan is getting caught snorting coke in a bathroom having it posted on YOUTUBE … yeah, the online culture is definitely mainstream now. All that chatter … all that IMing and texting and PMing, etc, etc, etc. It's just part of how people interact now.
Is it a bit romantic that two lovers who never met eachoher in real life meet on the internet?
It can be. It can also be frustrating.
So, Long distance relationships, what are your views on them?
I'm still down on the whole thing. But Superchum, the Bastion of Brotherhood, and Friend to the Friendless has made me make this statement for him … “Making friends online is just as powerful a tool as meeting them face to face and shaking their hand! The Paths of Chumliness stretch in Cyberspace as well!”
What do I know? I'm just the cranky artist. Superchum's probably right. I'm probably wrong.
