Contemplating online dating today. I do it a lot, for those of you who didn't know, I am a straight MANIAC when it comes to Internet dating. In all honesty, I haven't stopped since I got here. When I first moved to the 'Couve, my uncle Timmy was on Match.com and he found the woman of his dreams since then. I decided it was a good idea, got on Match.com and Yahoo! Personals and Friendster. For all intents and purposes, I have had some damn good luck with both of the personals sites. Friendster doesn't count. I don't really search on either of the personals things anymore, but I do check my mail on the Yahoo one.
I've met some interesting characters- most of whom were intelligent, attractive, humorous and all in all, very entertaining. It seems strange to have met them off of the Internet, but I feel like it's just as random as meeting someone at a bar. The only difference is, I know if they can spell correctly and I know that they like (or at least can handle) computers. I don't see the problem. People are so quick to judge online dating, like it's somehow more sketchy. If you met someone at a bar, all you really know is that they like alcohol and meat markets. How is that less sketchy? I don't know why I'm trying to defend my practices, there hasn't been any recent uprising against online dating or anything, I just wanted to talk about it for a minute and pre-defend myself to anyone who wants to give me shit for it.
And for the record, the guys I've met in person have been far less interesting, intelligent, humorous or technologically savvy. So there. MORE POWER TO THE ONLINE DATERS OF THIS WORLD! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!
