Technically, online dating should be the perfect dating vehicle for the masses.

It takes care of looks, by far the most important factor in dating, right at the beginning without the embarrassment and guilt that comes with rejecting people you know in regular life.

It also eliminates the weirdness of having to see people you have rejected or been rejected by again who are in your social circle, especially if they start dating other people you know.

Theoretically, it should be perfect.

I think when you phrase a question like you've phrased it, OP, you've diminished yourself, and exposed quite a few flaws of your own.

Oh GOOD LORD. I did online dating for years. Result? Several great relationships, and my current beau of 4+ years.

Clearly anyone can use bad judgement...no matter WHERE you meet a person. There are certain common-sense guidelines one should always follow. Some people just don't have the sense God gave a goose.

I'm not thinking your "feeling" is shared by many

I don't think my dignity is diminished due to online dating. I just signed up last week in order to try meeting someone. I believe I'm a pretty genuine guy.

lol...your imagined dignity has been blamished. What nonsense is this now? Or you could simply stop caring about what others think about you, and begin living your own life on your own terms. Yep, ill go with that.
