  • internet dating- genius discovery or monstrosity

    I always wonder how social networking has changed with the internet and how accessible it now is. It’s interesting that you can now detail the kind of people you want to meet and wait for them to contact you. In some ways its interesting, because you get to meet people you never would have met otherwise because of proximity, distance and other reasons. I mean lets agree on one thing, with these site you are now totally exposed to the world and other continents, something that otherwise wouldn’t be possible.

    So does it mean people who never had the internet years ago were short changed. That their options were limited and they kind of settled? or does it mean, that we are chasing the wind so much these days, that we think we will somehow meet the ONE, or that person who totally gets you by joining all sorts of friend and dating networks, and meeting all sorts of people all with the desire of finding what we feel we cant get in our normal day to day lives (at work, at home etc).

    Its interesting, is it more possible to get your soul mate, as you join more and more sites? Do your odds get better? Or do you end up disillusioned, heartbroken, cynical, bitter and heartbroken, when you don’t seem to find what you are looking for. Do soul mates even exist?

    Obviously there have been a few successful stories of people who have met their life partners through the internet. And obviously this has been the exception other than the rule. For every person who has met their life partner online, there are more people who have met psychos, stalkers, Con artists, sex traders, porn industry scouts and many irritating people.

    So is it all just luck? Did those lucky few luck out, or was the internet their magical cupid.

    Are you better advantaged in terms of finding what you want, than a person who has never joined any online dating and social network? Or are you setting yourself up for disappointment and exposing yourself to discovering the evils of the internet.
