Internet dating?

Okay, so I'm seeing alot of (especially younger people..12 and up) who consider other internet guys/girls as their boyfriends/girlfriends.





Can someone explain why internet boyfriends seem to be preferable to real ones?

Internet dating?

Reply:easier to chat with. u know ur chatting coz the person likes u.plus there is the option of multiple boyfriends/girlfriends
Reply:1) It's (relatively) safe. If you never meet a person for real, then it's harder for them to hurt you.


2) You can let yourself, er, visualize the person as you want them to be. Real life boyfriends have a habbit of crashing fantasy down.


3) A person also can allow themselves to be visualized differently. A shy person can seem confident. A restrained individual can be an extravert.


4) It's harder to meet people in real life. Online you can just start chatting without, er, social barriers of intimidation (eg) should I go up to him and start talking? Oh I can't do that, It'd be too embarassing if he shot me down. Online if you are rejected there isn't as much a stigmatism for just popping in and talking.


5) Greater availability of niches. Some people have very unique interests that bore or um weird out a lot of other people. The Internet lets you meet other people who share your interests easily.
Reply:It's simple. Fantasy is always better than realitly.

Reply:cause no one really knows who each other is, you can give false info and fake pics. its gay
Reply:Because they only see what the other person wants them to see. And don't complain! At some level, it is very "safe sex."
Reply:idk,but its kinda better ..caz u fall for sum1 not caz of their looks but 4 them...
Reply:Because you can ignore and dump them easier
Reply:Well reality is hard to accpet by human nature... So just to ne hapythese days , people try the virtual way
Reply:because people cant get one in real life apparently and when they have someone to look forward to and to talk to , i guess they feel special or soemthing. internet dating is really bad though. people lie about their ages, and you could in fact be talking to a child molester. you never really know.
Reply:with Internet boyfriends yes there is a risk that he is fake but there is also that you can look and find a boyfriend from any place in the world so you have a much bigger selection of finding the guy that is truly for you.
Reply:coz they are not always around to give yah a head ache
Reply:how do you internet date?? can you tell me the site???
Reply:Because it`s "safe", you don`t have to reveal more about yourself than you feel like, you can pretend to be better looking than you are, it`s a fantasy-relationship based on projections.
Reply:The internet allows people to take on identities that aren't theirs. Everybody knows wat words to say to make a person fall for them...so, they get on here and snag up lil' dum girls 'n boys...i think it's more of a time-consuming thing...it gives kids something to look forward to or something to do...
Reply:don't know what the prob is.
Reply:cayse they r not commited rather they can be hackers waitin to pounce on ur hard earned money.
Reply:Real ones are much harder to come by
Reply:lol. It is easier than having a real boyfriend. Less stresses and hassles. You have this nice young boy online who tells u nice things, you can chat for ages without getting bored and ultimately u live in a fairytale world where all is great. What young kid wouldnt be happy with that? I am not in my teens, but I know thats what happens.
Reply:Lets see, they think internet dating is safer Cus there is less fear of rejection and not being good enough for the other person in real. On the internet it seems you can be anyone and look like anything and people will except you, In real life you are told to look and act a certain way. Thats why people find internet dating better.
