Internet Dating: Fun Or Foolish?

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010

Foolish! But that is just my opinion and I would like to take the next several lines of this inspiring article to tell you why. Many people will disagree with me and I will welcome their criticisms as long as they write to me on internet dating and not on how foolish I look or why I am a dummy because I am an American with all sorts of weird beliefs.

So why do I think that internet dating is foolish and not fun? Well lets just say that I think that blind dating in general is foolish and that dating over the internet is taking that foolishness and multiplying it by a factor of 50. Why is blind dating foolish? Well because it means that you aren?t able to meet people on your own in your sphere and that when you hook up with someone else who cannot meet people either you have a combination that is completely set up for failure. Right?

The internet and internet dating take this fiasco to a whole new extreme and then add in the fact that seeing or reading or hearing is not believing on the internet. There are a lot of ?21? year olds that are prowling around the internet for their next victim and when that victim sees that this ?21? year old is actually 55, bald, and out of prison just 3 months ago for some sort of sex crime they are going to wish that they had never signed up.

So what do these people do? Well? in my opinion they either just accept the fact that they don?t really want to meet people as much as they think they do or their fears would be overcome, or take some medicine for anxiety and seek out cognitive behavioral therapy, or just buck up and try meeting people in your sphere that share things in common with you and that will have something to talk with you about and to do for fun.

You say, well my sphere doesn?t contain anybody like that and that is why I turned to internet dating. I say, GET A NEW SPHERE! You say my sphere is the internet. I say, Well don?t say that I didn?t warn you because you might be surprised in a bad way someday. I guess just don?t say that you haven?t been warned. People can lie about themselves in person and lead people astray but this ability is infinite on the internet.
