I have come to that conclusion as well. Weird huh? The internet seemed like such a way to bring people together and lately, it seems to tear them apart.
I have another problem that I can't tell if it is due to the trolls or what.. but I have trouble seeing online dating photos as anything but scary and gross. It could just be me but the photos are almost always HORRIBLE. I mean. They don't even try at all. That upsets me because it seems like it says at the top of the photo... I am not going to anything for you at all. I will never do anything to win you.. you will conform to me and settle. And that is what I expect.
But in real life, even if I meet the most horrific looking guy, just seeing them interact, getting the little background hints you miss with online dating... makes them more approachable. You get little background signals in real life that help really determine intent.
Now.. where do you meet good men in real life?
