Larry King interviewed some dweeb on RT TV today, who wrote a book about the emotional trauma he’d suffered because the woman he met online was nothing like the woman he met for real! Alright, alright, get up off the floor. You can continue your hysterical laughing when I’m through with my post.
So anyway, her online persona was that of a 24 year-old nymph (she’d stolen a bunch of pictures of some hottie on Facebook), but in reality she was 38, fat, divorced, lived with her mother and 13 other relatives, and had a teenage daughter. The guy blubbering with Larry about his heartbreak was 24 at the time.
Now I have to ask, why is a 24 year-old guy trying to finds love on the web? He wasn’t that bad looking either, and thin. Why the hell isn’t he dropping ecstasy in some rave club, dancing till three in the morning, then getting laid till noon? I mean, how difficult are women to meet, dood? Oh for my days of youth.
So now he’s positively evangelical about telling people not to waste their lives online. I suppose there’s some meat to that argument, but if I wasn’t pissing people off in web forums, I’d just be throwing my money away day trading. So what do you think? Is meeting people online an overall positive experience, a neutral experience, or is it addictive and sometimes quite depressing?
