My son has stated that, for casual physical relationships, one is better off going with the fat chick sitting at the end of the bar than with anyone you meet online. I know only part of the story behind this assertion.

As for me, I met the woman I married via a dumb pickup line on the street back when leased lines between data centers ran at 300 baud.

heh. I read about that yesterday. I can’t believe that moron’s wife actually stayed with him.

as for romance on the interneck (again, thank you so much Al Gore for inventing it), I’ve dated a few people here and there that I met through various online forums and now I’m married to the man I met way back in 1998. we’d been friends for years and only decided to give dating a try 4 years ago. I’m pretty pleased with the outcome.

I’ve got to go with Ralph on this one. Joe and I met online nearly 8 years ago, have been together for 5 years and our first wedding anniversary was this past August. This case of Oedipalial case will just add to the horror stories people are going to have to hear when they actually tell someone they’re going to be meeting someone from online.

I guess I’ve been much more lucky than you. I met a couple of ladies after exchanging a few E-mails but they only lasted one date and we parted on friendly terms. The last one, however, has resulted in 7 years of marriage and two adorable little girls.

Thank you, Al Gore, for inventing the Internet!

I’m sure the Florida Psycho wasn’t funny at the time, but… hoo boy.

I apologize for laughing. And thanks for reminding me why I’d rather be single than get into online dating.

My one “romance” born online wasn’t so bad; it’s the “girlfriends” I’ve met that have burned me – present company excluded – and have taught me necessary wariness.

But this story?? EEEEEEEYUUUUCK!
