Long walks on the beach and picnics and stuff

Oh online dating sights, how you amuse me so. I don't understand the point if we are being honest. There are so many ways to get out and meet real people. School, work, church, the coffee shop down the street, WHATEVER! Why online dating?! Because you think it helps if you make yourself totally vulnerable by putting yourself out there COMPLETLY on the internet for whatever creepy stalker to see is going to help? First of all let me just say that I can almost promise this is what will happen: You put up your picture and personal information. Someone of the opposite sex browsing the sight finds you attractive. They then procede to stalk your personal info. They then set a date with you and LIE about EVERYTHING about themselves to make themselves appealing to you. Then one of two things happens: (a) the person of the opposite sex will procede to "hit it and quit it" after earning your trust or (b) you enter into a long term relationship based on a lie only to later be unhappy as he or she can only keep up the fake persona for so long before their true colors shine through. And then of course there is the best thing about online dating sights, more than likely you are going to make a date with someone who looks like this:












or like this:









depending on your sexual preference, however much to your suprise when you get to dinner you will realize you actually made a date with him:












or her:












And I think it's fairly clear that neither of those are the desired results as you were anticipating a super hot actor or georgious underwear model and what you got was Harry Potter or a metal detector. HOWEVER the television has just informed me that you need to worry no more! The dating sight who is advertising with the Jesus fish is here. Christian Mingle! Come see who God is calling you to! Because this clearly eliminates any chance of lying about your interests or your picture, because as we all know, there is no such thing as hypocricy, it's a myth. (Don't take offense to that, i actually am Christian and I am in no way implying that the Christian religion is full of hypocrites or anything foolish like that, but simply that society is hypocritical and you will find hypocricy or hypocritical people in all aspects of life and in all places, meaning yes, there are some hypocrites sprinkled into EVERY religion) Seriously people, is this a JOKE?! Well if you are Christian I am assuming that you attend church...can't you meet someone there? this is all just ridiculous. Besides (this is about the dating sights in general, not just the new Christian Mingle whateverness) if you are really so anti social that you aren't giving yourself the oppertunity to meet someone at school, at church, at work, at the coffee shop, at the laundry mat, walking your dog at the park, or anything like that, you are probably locked up at home being to non conversational to hold much of a real relationship with anyone anyway...or maybe you just can't meet anyone because you're Debbie!
