What do people think of them?? Do people think they are a joke, or do they think they are real?

Some online relationships work and some online relationships don't work just depends on the person and the people that the meet online. When on a dating site contacting back and forth things that are said between the two varies and what each person believes that is true. It is sometimes often better to meet someone in person to know whether or not a relationship can persue, most people go to online dating site for whatever their reason, it also depends on how a person feels about doing osmehting like that instead of the conventional way.

I've heard more up stories than down.
it really depends on each person's individual circumstances--geographically seems to be a dilema for many. It's just like talking to any person up front, and a lot of times they are what they seem when you finally meet up w/them. However even if it's generally safe, you still have to take precaution because there still are crazies out there. and when u decide if u want to really meet them, then either bring a friend or family member along, or meet up in a public place to talk w/them. But just make sure you don't let them see ur car since u still do not know them yet, plus refrain from going out w/them until u get to know them even better. Remember people are mult-faceted and there may be some sides that are truely dark........u never know them until you truely get to know them obviously. I know lots who actually do a "check" on them to investigate their background (if they are THAT interested in the person).
I don't think they are a joke. Maybe some are, but feel that a lot of times when 2 people correspond w/1 another, then obviously there's some interest and mutual attraction between them. If they keep emailing u over and over again......then they are very smitten by u, or sadly kinda desperate out of loneliness, or actually both. A lot of people do this because it's "safe" and fulfills them on some level. But if one gets "too" serious, then it's unhealthy because how in the world can it truely be 100% satisfactory/fulfilling since it's only one dimensional?
If it develops into something more serious/meeting up/dating, THEN it can be real.

It depends on the perspective view you look at it from. If you think that the relationship is much deeper by typing and not seeing the other person, it could be more mental attraction, instead of physical. But then you might miss out on a lot of key bases on the whole effect of the relationship, hugging, kissing, holding hands, etc. But then, other people feel that they are just a joke, as it is easy to just cheat or not care for the other person for the sole purpose of you cannot see them, it all depends on how you feel about them, and if you are fiathful and can handle it. I wouldn't recomend it for someone who is needy and clingy, for the person might not be able to be there for you physically, and only mentally.
A relationship, whether online or not, is as real as you make it, it's your decision, not ours.

I had no problem with them. I met a lot of nice people online. Some I went and had coffee or lunch with and had some very interesting relationships with [ not sexually] just friends that liked to enjoy company. Some are now friends with both my husband and their wives. We go to dinner and a show together. Depends what people are looking for in these relationships.
But then there are those that want nothing but fun and sex in bed. those you stay away from totally.

It all depends on the people involved - just like other relationships.

i think they are a joke. they never work out and you never know the person that you are in the "relationship" with may just be another online predator
