Yeah, and chances are someone who truly believes Obama is the "anti-Christ" and has no foundation for that re ed belief is certifiable.

Key word right there.
Same could be said with speed dating and singles bars.
I've gotta get some votes for this!
How is that "loserlike" if they were able to find someone online that they fell in love with and able to spend the rest of their lives with as opposed to someone going to a bar or a club everynight looking for someone?
In the beginning, you still dont know diddly squat about that person, no matter where you are at.
Nope. You're not "bizarre". Your re ation is vanilla and predictable.
Okay, you win then.
Except that I'm not "bizarre" either.
dude, people who date on the internet are losers. i'm not going to give you a detailed description of "how" so you can break it down and nit pick it, it's just self explanatory. it's downright strange and screams desperate.
Son, I agree.
The real world is full of people, get out of your mom's basement and go meet somebody.
You assume that people who meet off the internet are just on the internet looking to meet someone because they don't have anyone else in real life. But that's not always the case.
For example, when timvp and I started talking on the internet (SpursReport), I lived with my boyfriend and he had a girlfriend. So, we we only talking about basketball at first, not looking to hook up.
You can make a case for people who go to the internet "looking to hook up" are desperate. But you can't really make a blanket statement that says anyone who met their significant other/spouse on the internet was desperate/couldn't meet anyone in real life. That's not always the case.

There's actually a lot of pros to meeting someone on the net, provided both people are being honest about themselves, appearances etc. (the one bad thing - you can never be sure of who's actually on the other side until you meet them).
It's private for starters.
One can talk to a potential partner in her most comfortable setting (and vice versa).
You can share interests without a date, so if the chemistry isn't there at all or there's some major conflict of life interests, neither one wastes time and money.
You can also 'meet' a lot of people much quicker, if not talking to them, then seeing pics and reading about their interests, goals, etc so you could see if they are at least somewhat attractive for you.
And even if one goes out all the time, there's a strong chance the best fits for you in the area will never be where you're at, or they'll be focused differently.
i'm sure there's more. I've never used online dating sites or dated anyone I met online, but I wouldn't be adverse to trying it because 'everyone is a creep in their mom's basement.' I'd like to think the opposite holds true: that those who use online dating sites or enter a relationship with persons they meet online are actually searching for the right one, one they feel very compatible with, not just 'any' one because they're a loser.

it's always false statement to extinguish the possibility in any case.
No one claims internet is impossible to nurture some true love like that you developed with LJ, but it's in general not the place where people are supposed to be hanging around when they're happy. Most americans who live decent lives are often too engaged in real stuffs to spare any attention to this virtual world. Immigrants/foreigners may possibly consider it somewhere their English speaking can be improved hence they have probably made up the only group of people who has lives while dissipating their time on internet.
All I'm just saying is that I know many "normal" (non-desperate) people who have good friendships and oftentimes relationships that have developed through meeting people on the internet. Some through common-interest forums (like SpursTalk), some through social networking sites, some through work-related websites, etc.
There's nothing at all weird about meeting people through the internet - it's just a modern proxy for communication that used to happen in person.
However, getting on the internet to find someone random to sleep with ASAP is the same as going to a bar to find a random stranger to . Really, what is the difference? I'm not into either, but I also don't think a distinction can be drawn between the two.

It has to be 4cc
You know what happens when you pick on mods.. don't you?
Is it possible that you know someone through internet and eventually push the connection to wedding level without spending tons of time there? I mean people dissipating tons of time on internet aren't living happy lives even if they aren't miserable either. If i had got the girl i love from hs I'd probably have been too busy dating her every night to spend even a couple minutes daily on internet. presumably there appeared bigger or narrower a precipice at your relationship with your bf so did LJ's with his gf, otherwise the real-life friendship/relationship can reasonably not be broken up by someone you knew through the wires.

My vote goes to:
I understand where most people are coming from, but with him I haven't a clue.
Nice memory you have there. What was his/her schtick again?KBP or if it was a few years ago, I'd definitely say awmyplace.
