Good Day my good friends of M2, Well since my last posting was a huge hit it made me want to throw you another bone again. Thanks to all who dropped me some comments on my last topic, like I always say its my fuel to keep you with a cup of my boiling hot tea of topics. This time , I want to get inside your head & your heart for a moment. Why does it seems so hard for some people to find romance online? Could it be there standards maybe too high or not high enough? As human being on earth are we the jinx that sometimes hinders our own happiness? Or is it one big cesspool of crazy pedophilia, porn watching nuts that over shadows the potential online goodness? I don't know, maybe its all above, maybe us ? In the world we live in today rather you are part of the hustle & bustle life of a major city, to the valleys to the shores & beaches of each coast. We all want love & marriage for our ultimate goal together. We all want to be with a companionship, love, great sex life & even a support system. My question is " Is it possible to find love online or a phone chat service"? I think we all have a friend that disagrees with meeting online, who knows, maybe its a safety issue. Maybe its a visual thing ...meaning the other person might of fabricated his profile & looks but you not impressed. Maybe its a hater thing....My " Opinion Minions" can you find love on line or is it a relic of the past?" How I see it, I guess you can if you really have chemistry & a common ground of interest anything possible. I guess it goes back to that old school saying " if you believe in love at first sight"? Now I like to see myself as a new age liberal guy with a vast open mind for all possibility. I 've met people who use social media to find romance and it worked out....they even talks of marriage with the online mate. I also hear horror stories as well....( I won't go there but I did hear it too...lol). Then I also heard people including myself run into online scam artist, you know the types that say there one place but then they moved to Nigeria & need large sums of money to return to the U. S. for whatever reason.....( right like I'm giving money online....) but it happens. So my friend of M2, can you find romance online today of is it a thing of the past? what's your take on this, lets make this one a hit as well.....spill the beans I got to hear your responses on this one.

Shots out to all, lets have fun on this one........

P.S.- I want to know how you feel about online today.
I also want to hear a good thing online dating has done for you & a comical horror story
Later Gator!

I have met many men from online, just didn't feel any chemistry. I know people who have had success stories and it led to marriage. Of course, online dating works. This is the new age way of meeting people, even around the globe. Expanding horizons. I have had my share of stalkers online but thankfully they were not anyone who I met in person.

Hey you, well in your mind do think it can happen you know love? one thing i can say i like about online social seen , it kind of breaks the ice when it comes to really knowing a person. what i mean is if you haven't seen or met me yet , there's a chance you can see past the visual and it kind of forces you to know the person as a whole before a picture or meeting...its kind hard to explain, the most simplest way i can put it....you would know a person for who there are if they're honest so when you do meet or see a picture you maybe liking what you see and it adds to your likeness to them.

Met my permanent mate on here 5 years ago.
Couldn't be happier.

But there are a lot of keyboard jockies online.
They know everything.

If you watch them closely, you can find what their
words really hide.

It is all a crap shoot :-)

A lot of people aren't really looking for romance online.
It's only "hard" for those that have convinced themselves they are looking for romance, but really aren't.


IMO yes and no.
As human beings on earth we ultimately go for and get what we want.
But we have to do it in a way that also fulfills what the group wants. Social pressures can sometimes be just as powerful as biological drivers in influencing behavior.
Premarital sex - hormonal, natural.
Waiting til marriage, dying for country - social pressure training.


If you're referring to drivers, like "everyone is driven to mate and pair bond" I'd disagree. Everyone (except asexuals maybe) are driven to have sex, which happens to also trigger the bonding process as a natural consequence.

I think everyone wants the feeling of love.
I don't think a lot of people want what they think marriage is.
I think everyone wants to feel love, feel good, but not everyone is willing to accept the risks, costs, efforts, and change involved in what leads to actual love.

I think a lot of people idealize "love" into being some form of ultimate emotional reaction to something. Like you see a rainbow, you feel good. If someone tickles your genitals, it feels really good. If you can just find the secret recipe of finding the right "one" to tickle your relationship need, you will feel "love" good, and then you can figure out how to maintain that feeling.


Not without meeting in person, spending a lot of time face to face, not without fulfilling the parameters of natural bonding.
Just chatting online, or on the phone, simply doesn't cause the same biological reactions.
At best someone can delude themselves they are in love and stick around out of a sense of identity, of wanting to be perceived a certain way, wanting to convince themselves they are in love, rather than being hormonally driven.

You can find a person online, that you can then meet offline, spend time together, and develop love.
I don't believe you can "find love" online, fall in love online.


No more so than nutrition.


It's extremely distracting and convenient.


People are adaptive.
They make things work.
They get what they want, even if they have to convince themselves of something that isn't true in order to get it.
