The point of online dating... there are various reasons people become involved in online dating.1st, Sometimes people have the lack of social communication skills. In other words they think that they dont have the looks to date in the real world.Its not that people are lazy. I would just call it a different experience. Instead of being physically attracted first. You get to know them throught their personality. So people get judged online, not by their looks but by there personality.

No one is lazy. Online Dating is one of the top 5's to meet & date someone. Some people end up meeting in person, falling in love & maybe getting married. There's nothing wrong with it. It's a risk of your time, but if you meet the right person -you will be glad to know that you did'nt miss out on anything.
No, it is not weird. Maybe to you, but not to other people. Your probably just being superficial, so stop it and move on with your life. Meet people the way you want to, no one asked you to do it online. Leave those people alone & mind your own business.

Honestly, I think its just another outlet now. Its the same as personal ads in newpapers 15 years ago. Some people would rather live in a world of internet fantasy than take responsibilities of a real life relationship. Laziness plays a part, but also, anyone can be anything online. Thats the key.

Personally I think it's creepy as hell cause you never know what is lurking behind those monitors! Then again I'm still freaked out by someone showing up to my friends door because they saw the address of the house in one of her pics online when we were like 15!
I do like to chat with people though, because you can get lots of good discussions going depending on where you visit. I live in a small town so sometime it's hard to get conversations started about topics other than Fox racing, the wed night races, the high school football team, nascar, and local drama.
I think what happens is that people tend to see the conversations as more than just conversations. They feel free to say things they wouldn't face to face, even things that aren't true, and then they become addicted to those conversations and mistake it for love.
I disbelieve that anyone can fall in love online. And cyber sex really confuses me. I don't see the point.
For the most part though it's an attempt to connect with someone. Anyone.

I know two married couples who met online and things seem to be working out quite well for both. There's an advantage to meeting someone online. You get to know more about the substance of the person before being distracted by irrelevancies, like looks. I'm not saying it's the way to go, but I don't think it's a totally unreasonable alternative to hooking up with someone you meet in a bar.

LOL..well some people see it as a way to chat with other people without the pressure of hurting anyones feelings and all. No face to face and all that. If the people are honest it can be a learning experience. Of course online like in life there are always those who lie. You get a sort of feel for the person before you actually get in public with them.

I don't know what the point of online dating is, I don't think it's people getting lazy, I do however, think that it is a sure way of some perverts getting in touch with innocent young children/adults, and I am not sure its a good thing. Just my opinion.....

I can't speak for everyone but I myself work so much and in my line of work there aren't any women to meet. I don't date online, I meet women online and take them on a date. Meet many more people online that I wouldn't have the chance to meet otherwise.

Lazy and cowardly. Nothing beats meeting someone in person and clicking with him/her. It's more romantic and makes for a better story when someone asks, "where did you two meet?" Plus looking into someone's eyes and getting the entire picture of them in person is so much more accurate. It helps when you meet at a place where you both enjoy being like a bookstore, museum, church, antique store, concert, etc.

It's the other way around Blaine. They aren't lazy but to busy. Their careers and salaries make it hard to have time for anything else but work. They don't have time to run out for dinner and drinks after working 10 hours a day.
"We have lost that loving feeling"...old song...sigh It was nice to dance too. You can't tell how the person fits in your arms, or smeel their hair or perfume...so many other things are lost too. Intimacy, truth...
Besides I don't have to wear heals (LOL) I wear bunny slippers...
