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? I don't know if it's made them lazy, or if it's just made their laziness a lot more visible. I mean, look at profiles. Most people put less thought into their profiles than they put into clipping their toenails. But we never would have known that had it not been for the sixty-three trillion incredibly vapid profiles out there. For me, the technology thing is a bit of a trade-off -- yes, you now have exposure to millions of people you could never have known about otherwise. On the other hand, 99.9% of those people are a.) way too far away to do anything about, and b.) so deeply entrenched in the kind of homogeneity that would scare away anybody who wasn't living in a '50s sitcom, that there's no real point in pursuing it with them. Not saying technology is bad -- I love being able to order gray pens on line. I'm just saying that finding a date on line, for me anyway, is about as practical and as likely as using an on-line oil change place. |

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? 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! doesn't remove those that are living with someone...or who have been in the same relationship for twenty years but never tied the knot or moved in together. |

Your splitting hairs now doll.
If you are expecting a guy to pee in a cup and bring in his family and all the ex's for interrogation, it may be asking a bit much. |
