[Discussion] ~ Cyber Love

[Hawker]

A very large amount of todays relationships start online. One friend of mine met his wife playing World of Warcraft. They have been married for 5 years now live together and have a kid. For little kids who have no plans on actually meeting these people they are stupid, but a lot of adults can bond over the internet and go meet in person when they are ready. It allows you to meet someone who you would not have been close enough to meet in the first place, and it allows you to build a relationship based on your opinions on their personality rather than looks, as long as they act like themselves over the internet. I wouldn't really be into it, but it works for a lot of people. It all depends on what your plans for it are.

I agree fully but I think the case in here was the actual internetdating without actually seeing the other person or knowing that irl it wouldn't work.

Then thats just dumb. In a lot of MMO games you run into MMORPGS (Middle-aged Man Online Role Playing as a Girl) who are trying to run around as a female character and get little boys to have cyber *** with them. If you want a relationship over the internet that is text only and don't want to meet me unless I'm 14 years old, I'm sending Chris Hansen to meet you.

Yes, there will be slips and Priests, but it could work smoothly for a vast majority.

My my, didn't think I'd receive such feedback

Wonderful points of view but guys, most of us in here are either teenagers or a least in our twenties, we are hormonal, and whether we like or not,
*** is almost a constant in our heads ~ As much as I would love to have a platonic relationship, I am also aware of its short comings.

I don't think a relationship can exist only online and you have to meet at some point for it to work.

Most of my friends said something similar to the prevailing opinion on this thread - that cyber love is not for them, that they need physical contact etc. As soon as we start playing a mmorpg game they start hitting on every player with a female avatar, and on the forums they often flirt with members that are allegedly female.​

Personally, I don´t have nothing against it. I never tried it, but that doesn´t mean I never will
Fortunately, my girlfriend is not reading this ​

Guys and girls just like to flirt its not like their looking for full on relationships.

But flirting can lead to something more. Of course, they´ll have to meet at some point ​

Ive dated online ^^ I actually enjoy it Truthfully, its not that bad. Yes, i have met most in person.

In my opinion it doesn't seem worth it. I mean you start to like a person online and get more and more attacked each time you talk to him/her and it's possible that they most likely feel the way as you do hence why they spend their time talking to you, but most of the time it's not going to get anywhere as it's not the same as actually meeting up with someone and taking whatever you have to the next level? and when it doesn't work due to the attachments you're just left depressed which isn't really worth it?

Obviously this isn't always the case as some people decide to both meet up and actually carry on with whatever they had going on but realistically how many people will ACTUALLY go on to do that? If they do then good for them but in my opinion it's not really likely to happen.

whys your sig so sexy bro?

Not bashing internet dating and if its worked for you thats awesome, but I think if people werent so shy and afraid to talk to people and they actually went out and met people, Internet dating wouldnt be necessary. Again, if its worked for you thats great but i hope i never have to resort to looking on the internet for a date.

I don't know from experience, i have been in two relationships (long term) that have been initiated in real life. Although i am currently in a long term relationship, my boyfriend who i met at Sixth form, (3 years ago) has moved back to Thai Land for 3 months and will be there for 3 more months. I would say that distance doesn't mean anything and that being in physical contact with someone (either talking face to face or ***, and everything in between) doesn't limit the amount love can grow, i feel closer to my Boyfriend now that i did 3 months ago when he left and most of our communication is through Facebook or Skype. (Which i kinda guess is internet related dating, although we didn't meet on the internet, 0.o i don't know).

Back on Topic:

Whats the difference between two people that meet on the internet, meet up, get married and have kids and two people who meet in school, get Married and have kids?

The end result is the same, just because they meet in a different way does that limit the love those two people have?

Although i don't think it does, i do think it is harder to meet someone who you can get to that stage of a relationship with over the internet than if you met them in RL. But i think that is slowly changing as more people rely on the internet to socialize and it creates more opportunities. Look at the boom in internet dating sites, those aren't being created for fun. Its clearly a large market.

Online dating works only if both sides are committed ( as a real life dating works ). However you have to be careful about who you talk too, there are people that do lie ( I've met one of them who was interested in that stuff. Too bad I wasn't an Idiot and confronted them about it. ) While I've heard of its success stories I've yet to witness one myself.

However each to their own, if people are happy doing it then let it be. I tried it, It didn't work out ( woe is me ), but I am now married with soon to be 2 kids. After experiencing both sides ( Although i wouldn't really call them girlfriends now ), I'd much prefer to have a closer girlfriend, you can have the emotional connection but a physical one is nice too.

I see nothing wrong with online dating. To each his own. Different strokes for different folks. If you find someone online and you hook up and then meet each other later on down the road so be it. What matters is if you are happy or not. When I think of cyber love I think all those online dating sights that are all over the internet. Like I said, to each his own. Love has no boundries.

 

[~Dream~]

I find it weird, because you can't touch them and your probably wanting a intercouse with them. Your behind a screen so that's retarded ..online dating are for people who are bad with finding someone for you.

who gives a fu!k

 

[Jazzy..]

I don't see anything wrong with it.
