Re: Internet dating is bad for relationships

It's simply a way to meet people you other wise would have not had the change to met if not for the internet.
Well girlfriend, my experiences with online chatting give me the impression that there are young men with girlfriends looking for an older (or another) woman just for no-strings sex (both real and cyber); married men looking for a "safe" affair (waaaay too many of those guys around); married men who are miserable in their marriages; and kids. Oh, there may be some out there who are worthwhile, but I've been online for over 8 years and this is what I've seen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not out there trying to find a guy online, but when you chat online and men find out you're single, it's amazing how the dialogue changes. I do find a difference in forums like this though. It's not like chatting.
