I think it’s clearly a situation where some people have bad experiences online and some have met the love of their lives and marry them. It also depends on how you portray yourself online, what your profile says, the pics you choose to post and the men you choose to communicate with. There is no right or wrong way. There are a-Holes everywhere. You can easily meet toxic people offline just as you can online. Online just makes it easier for people to lie and hide the truth. But the truth comes out no matter what. And if you meet someone offline, usually ppl show their best behaviors in the early stages and you still have to see who they really are, over time. Yes online dating is now the new norm and maybe it’s not someone’s preference but that doesn’t mean it cannot work.
