Internet Relationships...

[quote="Shyknight";p="324031"]I know you can hide a lot about yourself on the internet. I just don't think everyone does.

But whatever. Read your own sig.[/quote]

Did you have a point?
Or were you just trying to disagree with me because your internet relationship is going well.

Internet relationships are as real as face to face relationship. Sure you may not know the person in real life, but since when are relationships based in reality rather than the idealistic notion of the perfect person to live happily ever after with?

xxxkitten: Hi billyblaze you know, i'm eighteen and i have red hair and blue eyes and i really like you...

Billyblaze: Hey thats great.. want to be my girlfriend?

xxxkitten: Oh sure!

Internet relationships are not real.

Why, Princess. Your passionate confession of endearing love has moved me to tears. I don't know what to say.

I can however, say that face to face relationships are easily more fake than any internet relationship. While you're busy being head over heels twitterpated like some horny rabbit and getting hung up on superficialities, certain trivial things like the other persons personality might just go unnoticed. (or noticed and ignored.)

I think I must agree with Lorien. There is a real need to be around living habits and real personality to have a meaningful relationship. I could totally use a different nick and pretend to be someone completely different and get an internet girlfriend (or boyfriend, should I really want to prove a point) with that nick and there is no way they would know who I am if I stick to my guns.

meanwhile you could meet some 18 year old blond, only to discover she's stuffing her bra, dying her hair, lying about her age, and that she's not really on the pill either.

People IRL are even MORE sincere than the internet.

BillyBlaze, you do happen to be making some good points. Then again, they are too.

I don't even see why this is a debate. You fall for who you fall for, and in most cases you don't have any control over it. You can argue all you want about whether or not you "know" the person and whether or not the relationship is real, but in the end, it doesn't matter. Neither side is going to change their minds based on what you tell them.

People arent any more sincere in real life than they are in online. It's just harder to fool them in real life.

*sigh*

I don't need to convince anyone but myself, really.

I know she's a dog person. I know her favorite foods are hamburgers and ice cream. I know she lives in a military town. I know she wants to be a photographer. I know she has a sister who is always stealing her clothes. I know she was never popular in school. I know she doesn't like to go camping. I know she used to play the flute. I know she still has a white teddy bear she's had since she was very little. I know her favorite kind of soda is coke... on ice, not in a can. I know she hates people who are materialistic. I know she likes to go people watching at Wal-Mart. I know her favorite candy is hersheys. I know from her letters to me that she has nice handwriting. I know from talking to her that she has a nice voice. I know from the pictures she mailed me that she's totally beautiful. I know she thinks cowboy hats are sexy. I know she has a collection of Mickey Mouse stuff. I know she someday wants to take a road trip with no particular destination in mind. I know she doesn't have any girlfriends in her town because the girls there are mostly petty and shallow sluts who dress scantily from a young age and try to pick up older soldiers. I know her dad brought her mom back from Korea after he was stationed there for a while. I know she thinks the sunrise in Arizona is pretty. I know her favorite color is navy blue, but her room is painted sky blue and that's not very good for decorating. I know she has an 8-month-old son who hurt my ears when he cried into the phone. I know she likes to read novels. I know she has a goofy sense of humor and she's a romantic at heart. Her greatest fear is not finding someone to share her life with. She doesn't think she's pretty but she definetely is. I know that for six years now I always smile when I see her online.

And that's just off the top of my head.

...I know that's not enough for it to be a relationship. But it's close.

Then why dont you go out and find someone sincere in real life.
Its obvious if a girl is stuffing her bra, dying her hair and lying about her age if you call her on it. Besides if you know them well enough, they shouldnt need to dammit.

Otherwise, go have some casual sex and see how fake that person is. It will make you cherish the memories of your realtionships.

Why shouldn't they need to? Is it because us males are so superficial? Why not just find someone who likes them for who they are and not waste the time being someone they arent? It isn't like women who do these things do it because deep down they have low self esteem and need validation for their worthless lives.

And about the casual sex. If I could go have casual sex as easily as you say I can would I waste my time dating?

Would ANY guy for that matter?

No wonder her argument is so deflated she has to resort to ad hominem digressions. It wasn't that strong to begin with.
