And you're assuming. I understand what you've said quite clearly but I simply don't agree with it. And if call that disregarding then I don't know what else to tell you.

I'm not debating the merits of any specific method of dating or meeting someone, so you're attacking a nonexistant argument. I'm just saying that it is possible and there's nothing wrong with that.
Again, assumptions. I'm not "attacking", I responded to you saying it's just like any other method of meeting people when it clearly is not.

People can be fake offline too, it's just easier on the internet. That doesn't mean that the people in front of the computers are fake or somehow matter less simply because they are doing someone online. People are still people.
Irrelevant semantics. Having a 'fake' attitude and having a fake identity altogether are worlds apart.

EDIT: Also, you're picking a poor place to criticize meeting people online, consdering the number of lasting relationships that have developed here.
More irrelevance. The difference between here and say, match.com is that this site isn't intended for dating, if it happens then great. But actively looking for love online is a bit desperate or at the very least lazy any way you slice it.

You're making the baseless assumption that people who meet someone online would see something wrong with that.
No, I made a fairly accurate opinion that people who typically look for love online have even admitted to not being good with relationships in reality, are anti-social, nervous, etc. And alot of those types admit it, so again, you can call it baseless, but it wouldn't make you correct, human.

Also, point out where I said that those types "would see something wrong" with what I said. Though yeah when you get down to it I believe that many of those people do in fact have a problem with doing what I said, otherwise they'd have a date by simply walking up to someone and striking a converssation up. You act as if there's no big differences between randomly chatting up a girl on myspace or whatever and doing the same in a park somewhere, so why's it so hard for people to do the latter?
