Why does some people look for love over the computer?

Answer 1

Most people do that so that they don't have to be who they actually are and can hide behind a computer so that they don't have to actually face rejection. Some people don't have a lot of confidence and look for love because then they don't have to see the person face to face. It's easier. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Well, let's see - I can go to the bar and meet 40 guys, 30 are married, 5 are gay, 3 are divorced and 2 never married. OR, I can go to match.com and meet 250+ men, 25 are married, none are gay (if I did my screening right, can't say they're not bi) - so statistically speaking, if I meet more people, the likelihood that I will find someone with similar interests are increased.

Add to that

1) I get to read their profile, so it's different than when they swagger up to you and say "is that your real hair color" (and yes it is, you uncouth baboon)

2) It is safe, you can exchange conversations and get a feel for their personality with very little commitment - in fact, you can respond to them at 3:00 am if that's when you have time.

3) It is a real rush to get hundreds of men emailing you after viewing your profile -

4) none of the guys know that you've rejected the others - at the bar, after 1 or 2 guys walk up to you and walk away, the others get afraid.

So what's not to like? Because there's creeps on the internet, grow up, there are creeps everywhere. Because it's tacky - honey what's tacky is dressing up with the girls and pretending to laugh uproarously at the bar so that some guy will come over and see what you're laughing at.

Answer 3

Well, I got a new computer and became addicted to it (you know how that is) Then this dude at work told me that he is a dating maniac, going out with chicks that he meets online. So, since I had no prospects in site and thought it would be a great way to meet people to chat online with. I decided to try it.

I don't think I was looking for love. I did enjoy being single. But I had to go out with a lot of weirdo's before I found a keeper. I was a little embarrassed at first to tell people how we met, cause online dating seems a little pathetic. But, it actually worked and I met a great guy and I am proud of that. It took a long time.

Answer 4

I think it is because you get to establish a relationship without having to meet someone face to face and you build that trust before you actually come face to face and if your honest then it may work because you have a comfort zone with another person you may not talk to out in the club. I actually think you can learn a lot more about someone online than you do at the club. In the club, you just get one aspect of a person, it is just about physically looking and can I talk game. When your on a computer you don't have to worry about judgment. If they don't like you there isn't a real rejection but if they are not feeling you at the club everyone will see that...Just my opinion! Be good beautiful, James

Answer 6

There are varying reasons why some people use the Internet to look for love and meet people. 1) You don't have to spend a lot of money for gas and buy drinks. 2) Some people don't do the nightclubs and bars. 3) They are insecure with themselves. 4) It is another avenue available to meet people.

Answer 7

I don't know-but I would never do it. People aren't always telling the truth about themselves when meeting somebody on the internet ya know? I mean u could be thinking that ur talking to some young rich guy and he turns out to be a fat ugly broke guy.

I guess they think love realationships will work I guess.
But I wouldn't know-I don't do it and never will.

Answer 8

i did because i dont like the bar scene and was very busy couldnt go much and it is worth it i married a girl from Russia that i met on the computer everyone is going to have there own opinon about this but if you never tried it how would you know how it really is

Answer 9

I think it is probably less intimidating. You don't have to stare someone in the eye. You're able to speak freely, relax, and be yourself. Additionally, you can take a second to think about what you want to say and pause for a moment without looking like an idiot.

Answer 10

mainly because you are free to say what you want and be yourself. i got my love thru the computer. i looked for it there because, it was impossible for me to get one. i am not ugly but i am petite. but people have high demands. i guess it was also fated that i will meet someone from the internet. this man, who is my husband of 3 years, accepted me as i am..and it happened very fast. sometimes, it is not yout want, but by chance certain things happened.
