Relationships are built on mutual trust and respect, neither of which can truly be developed online. If taken to the next level, how do you know that someone isn't still gonna be on these things messaging people? It seems that most of the women on these things are just looking for someone to talk to, most often in a very flaky, flippant sort of way, or they are seeking some sort of ego-boost from seeing how many men will try and talk to them. That may sound jaded, but I'm just being real. A buddy of mine, unfortunately, married a woman he met online only to discover that she was still online messaging people while he was at work. That is whack, whether it is a woman doing it to a man, or vice versa! Utterly whack!
