Thanks for sharing Roulette. It really was a thought provoking and intellectually stimulating post.

TL;DR
Anyway, online relationships DO work if both parties involved are responsible adults who have the will to make things work out IN REAL LIFE. IE meet in person, spend some quality time together, etc. And of course the money.
If I was a crazy jobless teenager I would have never had the opportunity to travel to the other side of the world to visit Archaic and live with him for a period of time to see if the relationship had any chance of going further than just making out on AIM or Skype.

There is one reason I totally do not endorse dating sites. They use an algorithm. An arbitrary measure of things that work for most people, but it doesn't necessarily work for all people. Also, you can totally lie on those things, and it doesn't know the difference. Even if you are telling the truth, it may not necessarily be the whole truth, since I've seen these things, they expect you to be introspective, and not everyone is that. Also, I believe that not even I can know everything about myself. There are some things about myself that I can't explain. (so I'm supposed to have a professional psychiatric evaluation as well? And not even that may be correct) The truth is, stuff like that isn't entirely reliable, and never will be. If you are talking about sites that don't involve that, of which I will admit I don't know of any, then there is still the chance someone is lying to you. You could say I run the same risk in real life, which you got me there, but I will always be the advocate of just allowing things to happen as they will. I don't think "looking for love" works, I think it just happens, and not when you expect it to.
Online relationships fail. So do offline ones. The only difference is the amount of aggravation caused by physical separation and the like. This is because real people, by and large, are incapable and unworthy of love.
The only solution is to date 2-D people.

Try telling that to the girl who used to be totally cynical about love, who thought it was complete bullshit and made fun of all the girls with boyfriends, and eventually met the love of her life online. i.e., me. :]
