I actually picked up a stalker in the early days of online dating, I think it was 1996. I was a college student, she was a divorcee with 4 kids.
That is when I decided those easy hookups weren't worth it.

Is that you, BlueBird? If not, you remind me of him, and I miss him.
Also, you remind me of RodRug, but he, only, talks about his grandma. He is hilarious, too.

Do you get disability because of that big stick up your ass?
There are several threads on here chronicling my Adventures in Online Dating, and one EPIC thread where a certain ex-person got his ass handed to him on a platter by a woman he was seeing who didn't appreciate his online discussion regarding their budding romance.
Ahhh, I love dating. Especially now that I don't have to do it anymore.

There are downsides to dating no matter how you meet the person.
Before online dating probably the most popular way to meet someone was in a bar, not exactly what I think of when I think of how to meet a certain type of person.
Then there is dating someone from work.....
Meeting someone online is the new newspaper personals, except much more popular and easier.

Exactly. Exactly.
You know, the funny thing for me and others of my generation is, we're not Luddites, we embrace technology -
since we mostly invented it - embrace social media and so forth - but are clearly unaware of how it has already
changed the way we interact. Case in point, I just paid my bills for the month with a few dozen mouse clicks.
Something I've been doing for years, but I remember spending money on stamps, and taking an evening to
figure it all out every month.
And I can already name a few people whom I either met FIRST online - my son's teachers, a few of my best
friends, half the people I work with, and so on - or most of my interaction is online even though I know them
in person.
And as a consequence - we have to dispense with and learn new ways of interacting online. We have to
navigate without visual cues that we don't even realize we rely on.
We have to accept that - with regard to online dating - some of the "filters" we use to exclude a potential mate
must be delayed until the in person meet. When you meet someone in person, you react to their smile,
their posture and friendliness and you're often attracted to someone based on their style and how they present
themselves. Online, you can't get any of that. So - in a bar or a party or work - you filter out the ones you're
not interested in immediately. That stage - online - happens later. Because it can ONLY work in person.
Those easy "hookups"?
No.

Perfect. I make a post about how there is zero tolerance on this "discussion forum" for anyone's opinions other than the hive mind and I get a response from it's moderator wondering what my problem is.
Psssst... the problem isn't mine but, I'll give you 3 guesses what it is
