Would you consider online dating?

[AlphaMale]

I met my girlfriend online, though not through a dating site. It was a forum much like TB. We both posted in a similar forum about a few things and started emailing and decided to meet.
I've noticed when people ask how we met, and we tell them online, many people tend to get a holier than thou attitude as if we're somehow not legitimate due to the fact that we met in what many deem an "unacceptable manner." Luckily I don't give a #### what anyone thinks. But my g/f stresses about it-to the point that she's started lying about the way we met.
So what do you think TB'ers? What's your opinion of meeting someone online?

Meeting people online gives the whole desperate impression.
But it shouldn't. Lie, it's not like you can change it and society doesn't accept it.

I agree...better yet don't bring it up or look slyly at each other and giggle when people ask...but don't tell.

Would I consider it? No. Do I look down on others who do? No.

I'm an aquired taste and I don't translate too well in print. Now, meeting me in person is a nearly religious experience that few people forget, although the details always remain fuzzy. Chloroform will do that.

I met my wife nine years ago in a chatroom about pets. She had a pug, I had a greyhound. After about three months of "online" dating, she took a two hour plane ride to meet me face to face. Three months later we're living together. Another year and we're married. I can speak for both of us that things honestly couldn't be better.

ps. btw, both dogs have passed on.
