Topic: What do you think about technology and dating... | |
---|---|
I reading a thread about this on another site, and a lot of people think it has made dating easy etc etc right. Well I started looking at it and really realize how this actually effects or everyday life being on net.
For me, i have come to the conclusion that using technology for dating has actually made people lazy. People talk about putting effort into things, but how much effort do you really put into thing being on the net or a cell phone? |

This discussion will be moot when they mass produce hot robochicks.
You will never see me again. |

Hell I think they should open up clubs that are for single people only. Once you become a couple or hook up with someone you're no longer allowed in..
How sweet would it be to walk in a place knowing that everyone in there was single instead of trying to figure out who was single and who was with someone? |

Technology makes it possible to meet people that you may not meet otherwise. But, to actually date, you need to get off the computer and get out of the house.

Clubs are already full of single guys hitting on any woman that walks by. I can only imagine singles only clubs would be worse. Then again, I am not into clubs, so it wouldn't be for me. But there are all kinds of ways to meet people. I think it makes more sense (for me at least) to get involved in activities where I will meet others who like the same things. |

I'm thinking that with all the technology it is much easier to find someone to go out with. It is also much easier to find someone a little better to go out with and leave the first one hanging.
It is easier to text or email to get out of a date or a relationship and not ever have to speak to the person at all. It is a little more impersonal and I think people have less of a conscience when they decide to look elsewhere. I think many have become addicted to constantly checking who might be new and an improvement from what they have been dating. When you haven't met in person, the ability to change your mind or use manners and common courtesy goes out the window with some people. |

my experience shapes my opinion.
i think people lie alot on the net as its very easy to do so, therefore relationships dont last long once the true colours show my miss spent youth left me with no real friend circle to socialise with and so i found it hard to meet girls. after 3 or 4 years going into pubs and other social places, i found i met no one but drunks and weirdos. i came online as i thought the sort of girl i was looking for would have also exhughsted all other routes (she certainly wasnt in the pubs) and i spent a week mailing all the girls near me and weeding out the scycos, boreing and vain. ive been with my partner for 8 months and we were made for eachother. we met online, exchanged a handfull of mails, met, and hit it off. the internet is simply a fantastic tool for makeing contact with people you might never bump into in the real world. you cant date online, but you can deffinatly find people online to date offline. |

It's made it harder for me...
The Fakeness The phony personas The game players The lies The using of people It's crazy on this Internet!! Had it done to me and I am damn street smart!! So that's where I'm gonna go to look for love Back to the street At least I can see..and touch...and feel the Shizz!! |

I agree with that. People can not make dating online but it is right if we can date offline. Nowaday, everyone is so busy to work, special lazy to go out to meet new people. People want to stay at home to be online and chatting on net. Internet is really helpful to make people to be closer. Some people lie on net because they are shy or they are afraid of liers. That's a vicious cycle.

Allow me to point out the obvious....every last one of us have dealt with real world ex's who have turned out to be lying/cheating/untrustworthy/abusive/manipulative/bum (take your pick) worthless dog crap puke chunks.
In the real world I am generally in the sack and "hooked up" before I have a chance to think it through and only find out later that my penis has led me astray.I will bet a gooch smooch that every one on this site has more real life ex's than cyber ex's. People are just as untrustworthy in real life as anyone on the net. At least here, you have a chance to broach subjects from multiple angles to see any flaws in the other persons patterns. (provided you arent a moron) Deciet aint hard to spot if you have any experience....(I know...everyone here is honest and dont lie.......yeah) I like internet as a communication and learning tool. Just on this very site I have seen plenty of birds who caught my interest only to later realize that it would be a mistake to pursue them once you get past the initial infatuation and really start getting a look at the flaws in the facade. |

People talk about putting effort into things, but how much effort do you really put into thing being on the net or a cell phone? I actually prefer it. Not due to laziness but because it SEEMS as if it is much more clearer whether there is compatibility and communication , as opposed to real time which is sometimes blurred by the priority physical chemistry takes,, |

How sweet would it be to walk in a place knowing that everyone in there was single instead of trying to figure out who was single and who was with someone? Easy...the same way they do at swingers clubs. They will have you fill out a three page form to apply for a one night membership and then photocopy your valid drivers liscence and ssn. You may be granted a temporary admission if you look good enough ($70 cover charge) but, they do a background check and if anything comes up "off", you are immedieately escorted out of the club and banned for life. Hell, I AM legally single and I was nervous as hell. But, it was the best night out clubbing that I have ever had! |
