Man, I love how all you people are defending this shit so voraciously because some of you met your significant other on the internet.

Remember: So did I. But I wasn't using a dating service on the internet to do it. There lies my point. I am sure Devo and Ed are very happy! I am sure Crash and Jup are very happy! (Well, as happy as they could be.) You happened into each other. You're all pretty socially adjusted, from what I can tell.

Crash, I think it's hilarious that you say "not everyone is like you, Sass." A lot of people are, actually. You know, people who don't live their lives on the internet or anything? People who prefer to do things the old fashioned way? I can tell you that almost every person I know - with maybe one or two exceptions - feel the same way I do.

As we all know, I am a strong believer in natural functions. And if a person is socially inept - if a person can't help themselves, then yea. They shouldn't naturally be able to keep a mate.

You know that old saying. You can't love someone else until you love yourself. If you ask me, the socially inept need to learn how to do math before they go relying on a calculator for all their mathematical needs.

I don't think theres any shame in finding somone on the internet. I think the shame comes in when you pay someone to get access to their list.

Gee Devo. You're bad at using your brain, aren't you.

How many times I am going to have to REPEAT for you.

Read LeHah's post. Maybe that will make it a little clearer on where I stand for you.

Obviously you're the idiot.
I'm the idiot? Because I *won't* pay to access a list of people with similar interests?

You're really a little unclear. Maybe if you calmed down a little, we could discuss this!

What's wrong with paying for a service? What kind of a pinko are you?

I only pay for services when I can't do them by myself.

Apparently, this is not a very common trait in Americans.

You can create a list of compatible people in your area yourself? How many people do you know?

Why would I want a list? One is all it takes.

You fail to acknowledge that some people might use sites because the singles in their area are of no interest to them.

I'm using me as an example because I am definitely not attracted to the ghetto livestyle or fashion. If I was single and wanted to date in "real life" it'd be almost impossible because people in my area are hiphop wankstas, illiterate, morons, or their likes are my dislikes.

What a site like eHarmony would do is highlight the people in my area who I haven't met that aren't all the above characteristics I loathe. You fail to see that people can also search within their own region or out of it. You're also ignoring the fact that a match doesn't mean shit. It just means "this person might be compatible with you." There would still have to be dates or meetings of some kind.

But you're so busy being a cynical sourpuss about the whole ordeal you don't even think maybe it serves a greater purpose for folks who otherwise can't find romance in their "daily life" in the physical world. Way to be an arrogant ass.
That was very mature, Devo! I am certainly impressed! I am glad we can have an adult conversation!

So you applaud laziness, then? You think its encouraging to urge people to take the easy way out of things in life? Because you have to admit, eHarmony is a pretty easy way out of having to actually LOOK for a person you like.

You could call it "efficient."

So. You think that short-cutting is efficient? Is that what you're saying?

Minion Mar 16, 2006 01:12 PM
Society has always used technology to make life easier. Why should this be any different?

Get with the times, Sass.

Little Brenty Brent Brent Mar 16, 2006 01:12 PM
You could call the NAZI WAR MACHINE efficient, too!

I'm a Luddite, sir.

I think that knowing how things work and being able to understand them is more important than using them. You know, like math. Technology. People. Things. Its always best to understand something before you try and use it.

Wouldn't you agree?

So you're trying to understand edating sites so that you can start using them?

Little Brenty Brent Brent Mar 16, 2006 01:16 PM
Or are you trying to understand PEOPLE? So you can USE THEM?

Just because a person is better at expressing their ideas through written communication doesn't mean they can't express their ideas verbally.

Why would I?

I encourage people to be efficient. And in being efficient, you need know everything you can about the topic at hand in order to select the appropriate algorithm.

In otherwords, efficieny takes a lot of knowledge.

And I would put money on the fact that the people on eHarmony don't have that knowledge, considering they're on eHarmony looking for people like themselves.

Of course, but here's what sometimes happens. You think you know a person because you've talked to them for weeks or months or even years, and then when you meet them they're a completely different person. It happens.

To me, if you're a completely different person online than you are face-to-face, you're a liar.

Do I have to try eating grapefruit with my bare hands before I can move on to using a knife or should I just use the current technology and be done with it?
