Why Online Dating Services Will Never Work

You walk down the alter, slowly, happy and loving every moment of the attention you are thriving. Call me old fashioned, but there is something slightly less romantic about these vows: "When I logged onto Match.com, I hadn't expect something serious. I paid the $26.79 all access subscription fee and took it slowly. But when I set eyes upon your profile, I knew it was something more. Needless to say it was mutual love at first click."

Don't get me wrong, I've heard happy endings made by internet cupids, but the odds are there - against you. Besides romance, there are many reasons why you should RETHINK seriously about resorting to online dating services.

1. It's dangerous. It's the internet, this should be self explanatory! And especially in this area, more often than not you are being tricked, lied to or manipulated in some way. Chances are, if you meet the exact same girl on the street or through a friend, she would be completely sane and sweet. But the internet is so damn easy to talk bullocks with, it's almost a crime to not.
   And consider yourself lucky if you are being lied to by a girl if you get my drift. I mean, which literate person has not read or heard an online dating horror story?
2. It doesn't sound like you have a lot of friends or social life.
3. A girl will definitely find it harder to trust a guy who she found looking for playmates on the internet to not be wondering off doing the exact same thing behind her back. She understands you've got that dangerous potential.
4. She will feel as if she is with a man who is not man enough to go out there and fish for the ... fish himself. Rather, she knows you sit on your feminine ass and order from KFC (you know, they don't even sell fish.)
5. Her friends will laugh at her, and if you do have friends, that is - they'll will probably laugh at you, too.
6. She deserves a better story than this.
