this internet as a medium Odd as it might seem i believe many souls get accustomed to all the flattery, the new interesting faces, the enticement of this net. a false imagery of you would like life to be... a commercial designed to captivate your intrest will make somone rich... just not you.Yet many probably do meet up, and hopefully create a future together, do they then opt out away from such an influence?Or.. does all the attention, flattery, and intrest, become a part of their lives to a point they cannot refrain from it. Thus it offers one or both of them an easy out... somone new to take thier place? readily availiable, making it all the more enticing to spread wings and fly.If this internet becomes such a steadfast need in somones life to feel more special than they can be in real life, i think many will be sewn up into a digital imaginery future, never fully warming the heart the way love is supposed to be. there will always be an outside influence or force captivating the intrest of somone in the relationship.also if a person is content and happy alone at home as long as they have this net, it will become easier to (play) here rather than step out into the real world and hug real people thus never again experiance a real living relationship. when this net becomes somones norm, they are hooked! it fills a need , albiet attention, a mode to find a mate, a way to pass time, it still becomes a need as it becomes a norm.the lure of getting to know somone might take weeks or months via this net, to really know the real person, yet.. if i walk into any real public place, i know right now what they look like, sound like, what their eyes reveal, and body language, ... what would tie up weeks online to know... all in a single moment.statistic wise... if 2 people meet in this net and if it takes longer than 2 weeks to meet in person, statistically ..they will never meet... thus a huge waste of time.also.. what if.... many people are more attracted to the chase, the imaginery excitement... than an actual relationship? somone gets hurt is my guess. having sooo many faces to choose from so readily availiable, but only in the net. not so in real life. now if a person has 50 friends online, and they can now only (offer) to you 1/50 th of thier time, all good if it is only friendship in passing, perhaps not too good if somones feelings get attatched. they must know there are and will be (others) in that persons life in some way, thus removing any exclusive attention to you. (even if you live with that person)would you pay an employee full pay if they only gave you 1/50 th of the work day? and would you buy a company if it had a 98% chance of failure?not I. if somone has a mate and things are good, then any time spent on this net would be better spent (the same amount of time) putting effort into that relationship. be it clean the house , prepare a special somone an un -expected meal, wash their car windows... all of which would support the present relationship rather than remove your time away from what matters most... the heart/s you have right there at home. remember the time you spend online IS time removed from special somone you love.If there are problems in a relationship, then so be it, there will be heartache no matter, yet... if you do find a new relationship, i suggest you openly make a decision, do we keep the internet or not, at the possible cost of a great loving forever relationship.ridding of the price of the internet service and huge cost of loosing such a rare love... i'd choose dropping the net and keeping what is real. real life touches you in human form, is there by your side, is talking to you in real time sharing real sex. not imaginery wishfull thinking.look at how much you could accomplish in real life utilizing the exact same amount of time you spend on this net !think about it, those of you who have a special somone at home right now would absolutly be pleased to come home to a spotless house, a great well planned meal, a warm and loving mate and no outside persons trying to get in your pants on a daily basis all over little more than your picture.look at the relationships this net has more than likely ruined... many! and all because it afforded what many probably thought was an easy out, or a better replacement. ill tell you, there are always going to be better looking, better sounding, or better (acting) people in this net than whoever has captivated your interest today. why else would you be looking at 3 right now rather than learning just one soul?thus, you are more than likely going to be somone elses history soon, as they also spend time and effort getting to know somone else who also is learning somone else who is also learning somone else.do you want that in any relationship? in the REAL LIFE .. a look, a gesture, a touch, a verbal tone is also communication. sex is real. how do you know this person doesnt explode in rage if somone passes his car ..unless you ride with them in the real?why waste all that time for somone who might have thier best picture in life posted, a buddy in the background laughing at you being taken in, or even a psyco who stole somone elses pictures rehearsing how to manipulate others?only some of the things i been thinking of, in my decision .... do i really want to be a part of this imagination lifestyle so many are adapting their whole lives around....no, that’s why I state in my profile I am just looking for friends....

You might want to reformat that with a few paragraphs to ease readability. I had to use a rule on the screen to keep track of what line I was up to.

It doesn't work. It can work.

Like anything else in this life that you do alone, you must make it work.

Like anything else with someone else, they must make it work.

Together, you both must make it work.

Breezie - the formatting is poor - you will lose many readers.  You're being really negative about online relationships or even meeting people online.  Strange you should visit an online forum then.  For some people it works.  Some it doesn't.  Do what works for you and why worry about those that don't participate the ways you like?  Show where you have the stats for this 'two week' period?  Where did you get those, otherwise I just call bullshit on them.
Your post is an oxymoron.  And welcome to collarme btw.

Have you ever heard of paragraphs, breezie?  Honestly, I couldn't read all of what you wrote.  All of your thoughts are just jammed together in one long, meandering diatribe.  I am not trying to be mean.  Lord knows I am not the greatest writer when it comes to proper punctuation and sentence structure.  But you need to work on that.

Okay I have read about 3-4 sentences here, the trick is to read a bit at the beginning
and the end!

breezie, of course the internet is a medium and a conduit for many things.

 
How long have you been online?  It sounds like it has not been long.
I have been online over 13 years and I will tell you the internet can be many things.
 
I met my first husband online 10 years ago, I have taken courses online, I actually depend
on the internet to do a fair share of my work.
 
The internet, is a tool, that can be used in a variety of ways.
But there is always an issue of common sense.
If you lack common sense, many should not meet people online.
Enjoy it, play with it, have fun!

The internet has expanded my world in wonderful ways.  I've met some awesome people through the medium.  I've had a rewarding relationship with someone I met on this site.  I've also met friends from other message boards.  These are some cool people I otherwise would not know or have the benefit of having in my life. 

If you project negative you will reap it.  Good luck.

What Katy said.
One thing for sure, I'd be a much better fiddle player if I spent less time online and more time practicing.

I'm sorry....did you have something interesting to say?

I couldn't tell....it was a gargantuan ramble, tied together with run on sentences...with no paragraphs.

I see what you're saying, breezie, but why post on a message board about the evils of the internet? It feels a little combattive, a little holier-than-thou. Your profile is intriguing - you seem to be rather eccentric, which is usually at least good for interesting conversation.

Welcome to the message boards.

Like most things in life, the internet is what you make of it, and there are safety measures you can adopt to manage one of your main concerns.

I view the internet as an extended market; I have access to more people, and there are loads of profiles from all over England.

Ultimately, anyone stupid enough to be duped by someone over the internet?.......the internet isn't the problem.

I too quite literally could not read your post.
What I like about communicating with people over the net is that it is possible to say what you really think and not be bound by the protocol of polite restraint.
With regard to developing relationships then I see no reason why it shouldnt work. Wait for "meets" to discuss the serious stuff but as an introductory medium ,and if you are so inclined, why not.?
