Ridiculous. I met my husband in an AOL chatroom in 1994 and we’ve been happily married since 1995. My sister met her husband the same way, and I know of other couples as well. It’s a lot healthier than the singles bar ‘meat markets’, where a single glance determines whether or not you’ll even strike up a conversation with someone. Now THAT is dehumanizing.
Agreed, the last thing I want to do is stand around in a bar and hope I can strike up a conversation with someone, only to find out they are a freak and we have nothing in common... match.com baby... met my SO there over a year ago, and we are quite pleased :)
