Theres nothing sad about it in your opinion, I disagree.

So why do you feel that way? What is sad about it?

Its sad that people are turning more and more towards technology for things like socialising, dating meeting people etc rather than go out and live life rather than sit staring at a screen (yes it can be good for people that have trouble going out etc which ive always said in similar threads) I also find peoples addictions and over use of social media to be another massive negative point of the internet.

Yes you can throw out statistics about the positive side of online dating but theres also negatives to match, like couples that meet online then marry are three times more likely to get divorced, 20 odd percent of couples that started dating online dont last a year and so on.

Of course for some it will work, fair play to them but IMO people should be out there, socialising, interacting and meeting people face to face, not getting excited at the thought of being matched with someone who enjoys the same tv show as they do.

How can you say that as the admin of an internet forum?

This whole place is where people with similar interests can gather and discuss and chat and make friends. How is it any different?
