Why is it that young men & women are seeking their lover in Internet instead of looking for them in church?

Answer 1

Because the churches aren't exactly safe havens for children anymore....

Answer 2

First of all young men and women should be worshiping God their true lover at church and not a boy or girl lover. Secondly, young adults tend to shy away from being "real" at church because they are afraid of being judged by people that are seemly righteous. The Internet provides added security that Church doesn't. You could get teased at church if you so much as look at someone with a lustful eye, after all you must want to marry that person cause you met them in church! Church is scary that way, you never know who you can trust. The Internet is safer because you can always block someone from ever talking to you again, you're always in control.

Answer 3

I can honestly tell you that church really isn't a good place to look for a partner. Why? Most churches that I've been to are mostly people who are already married with children, or are too young. A few churches have young adult and young singles social events, but most that I have belonged to over the years do not. Church is a place to pray, worship, repent, with your fellow Christians - it doesn't work very well as a place to meet members of the opposite sex, in my experience anyway. You are actually better off going to a Christian singles site on the Internet where everyone is Christian with those type of values, but you are away from the church setting. Once you meet and get to know one another, then you can actually attend church together....

Answer 4

I met my partner in the church of alcohol and hedonism, at a bar! Really, I was raised by parents who said those same things about church and expected me to find a nice christian boy at church and get married and have his babies, but really, church boys bore the hell out of me and maybe that's the point, but no thank you! Besides, I don't want to breed or be anyone's cook/maid/helper. I prefer the whole partnership thing and that does not happen with those who live by traditional gender roles and the church is sort of against feminism and for a great line between what is masculine and what is feminine.

I do tell everyone we met at church since those who know me think it's amusing and my family? Well they like to live outside of reality. It's one thing to play good christian girl when visiting the 'rents, but an entirely different thing to marry into that shite!

Meeting on the internet is for the socially inept and the ugly though. I'd never do that! But like I said, Christian boys? Not unless I was a house wife wishy washy brain dead bint!

Answer 5

Let's see - the leader of the 15,000 member church in Denver confesses to smoking meth for *years* with his gay prostitute lover just a month ago.

We've given up counting how many priests are gay peodphile child rapists.

Jim Bakker banged the church secretary and ripped off millions from the flock.

Jimmy Swaggart can't give up his steady diet of streetwalking hookers.

Pat Robertson is crazier than a sh*thouse rat. Let's be honest.

Jerry Falwell said lesbians caused 9/11.

And you think church is a good place to meet people? You're a real hoot, you are.

Answer 6

yes its true, internet has revolutionized every aspect of human living, including the emotional and social aspects.

People are seeking their love, on the internet, and yes its true, someone reading this first time maybe skeptic, but soon you will get the shock of your life, that yes, people even are getting married using internet social contacts.

I think the reasons maybe as follows or combination of them

> You are unsatisfied with the people around you in real life, for eg: your church, you dont find anyone that 'clicks' with you.

> You are shy to break the ice in person, and hence, internet is a safe way to get to know someone, talk about everything in text or voice without being too embarassed, and if things 'click' you can go to step 2 in real.

> Internet gives you access to a large populations, which you would have never met in real life. Someone who clicks with you, perfectly, may have never lived in a 1000 mile radius around you, but you will find them on internet if your lucky

> Time factor, most people are so busy in their jobs and stressed out lives, they dont find time for building social contacts in real or getting to know people closely. They can chat \ communicate on the net even when at work, thereby meeting people, without really meeting them, once they click, they can meet up on a weekend and go further.

Although, internet is a nice source, its a deep pit too, people need to be cautious how they deal on the internet, esp women and girls, some people use this technology to fool others, abuse, emotionally blackmail, or for sadistic fun too and cheating. Please be a little careful in your dealings, so you are not hurt emotionally or financially or socially by following some advice.......

1) Do not share too much personal information in the first few communications.

2) Do not float around your pictures to all and sundry, they sometimes morph your photos on obscene women and hurt you emotionally

3) Do not give away financial information, CCard numbers, addresses, or information which is not good in unsafe hands.

4) Do not show any weaknesses or if you stay alone, dont tell them your address or identity so as to find your residence, they may use this information to harm you.

5) Lastly, always be practical, dont dream too much because the people you meet online, maybe too different in their real lives than what they present as online. Dont make decisions or dreams, unless you meet them in person, or are too convinced about their credentials and character.

Answer 7

LMAO, why do you have to go to church to find love? I do not agree with the internet dating but church is totally not the right direction either. In the past 10 years how many reports have been shown that priests are touching young boys and things of that nature....JUST IMAGINE ALL OF THE ONES THAT AREN"T REPORTED. If you want my opinon, worship god at home and dont go somewhere to make it seem right. He loves you for loving him, not going to church....think people. And FYI love is not based on where you found it, it is based on actual love...so mind your own business on how people do things. Sorry to be rude, I just hate it when people preach to others on how to live their life.

Answer 8

Most of the people I know who've used online dating services are not people who go to church. However, I do know a couple of older ladies (40s) who met their current husbands online and one of the things they looked for was a strong religious belief. So I don't think that online dating necessarily means that the people aren't concerned about finding someone with compatible religious beliefs.

Answer 9

That's a very good question, although, there are hypocrites in church too it's sad to say. It could also be because that the parents are not enforcing their kids to think in that train of thought which would be good if they could actually find a sincere person.

Answer 10

Meeting a person through a church or going to church to meet people? Churches love to put everybody in groups according to age, status, gender. Are we animals or people?
