Internet Relationships…

I'd write a whole topic on it and ask your thoughts, but, I think these lyrics cover it more fully;

Internet relationships are not real
Your heart people steal but identities conceal
So here’s a tale of warning for girls and boys
Laptop computers can be dangerous toys

DARYL47: In the chat room, I inspect. Who’s here tonight? ASL check
CarolBabe69: I’m 20/f from the UK. Send me an IM and I’ll make your day
DARYL47: I’m 22 and my name is Daryl
CarolBabe69: Nice to meet you Daryl my name is Carol
DARYL47: What do you like Carol?
CarolBabe69: I like to go to shows. I collect comic books and vintage clothes
What do you like?
DARYL47: I like to skate. I play rock guitar, but I’m not that great
I like to go on dates and I like to stay up late
I live in San Francisco and hangin' on the Haight
CarolBabe69: Do you like the Golden Gate?
DARYL47: I did when I was eight
CarolBabe69: Maybe I can come and visit?
DARYL47: Maybe you should wait
See I’m really forty-seven, I have kids and a wife
I weight 300 pounds and I hate my life
CarolBabe69: Are you serious?
DARYL47: Yes
CarolBabe69: Well, I’ve got a secret too. I’m not 20 years old, I’m really 32
I only have one leg and I like to sniff glue
DARYL47: You lied to me Carol
CarolBabe69: Well, you lied to me too

CHORUS
It’s not normal to have an Internet girlfriend.
Online relationships are just pretend
Unplug your heart, upgrade your system.
Get, get off the Internet

Bob went on MySpace for hours a day.
Talking to girls from Moscow to LA
But people can surprise you from behind a screen
Listen to this verse and you’ll see what I mean

SueChick1990: Hi, I’m Susie, I like your profile
I checked out your pics and I like your style
BOBSTER MAN: Sounds good Susie, I’ll be your friend
We can message each other again and again
SueChick1990: Comment on my pics and post on my page
Join my groups and guess my age!
BOBSTER MAN: You must be 18, how could you not?
You can’t be in high school you’re just too hot
SueChick1990: Let me send you pics for your personal collection
I hope they inspire you and give you a smile
Susie sent Bob pics that were borderline obscene
The cops showed up at his door – she was only 16

REPEAT CHORUS

If you don’t believe us here’s a final story
About a boy named Marcus and his online girlfriend Lorie
Behind the monitor, truth is hidden from your eyes
Marcus didn’t know but he was in for a surprise

MARCUSP: We’ve been dating for a while but let’s cut to the chase
I don’t know what you look like, and I want to see your face
Laurie69: But what does it matter? You know who I am inside
MARCUSP: What if you’re not a woman and this whole time you lied?
Laurie69: You got me there, I’m not really a female
I’m a guy who pretends to be a girl through email
MARCUS: So this is why it’s bad to meet women online
Living life behind the screen is a total waste of time!

It is possible using the advantages of the internet to communicate. I'd know. Laugh it up and make jokes, but I'm serious. I met my Blowup Doll over the internet, by pure accident. She was a friend of a friend of a friend, and we all got thrown into one MSN convo one day, and we became fast friends. We shared many interests, and talked all the time, sometimes via mic chat or webcam, sometimes via MSN. We eventually just understood each other, I guess. It's hard to summarize in a couple sentences, but in short, I fell in love with her personality. In a sense, the internet is great for that. Your initial reaction is to how a person acts, talks, or thinks. You meet a personality, not a face, and that's really from where a relationship stems. You can't have a relationship on the physical realm alone. You need a mental and emotional connection. The internet presents that first. If anything, you'll know whether you like someone or not before you ever meet them.

The real issue with an internet relationship is that most people aren't their true selves behind that username. A goodly percent of internet users don't even take themselves seriously. A quick glance at the atrocious grammar and complete lack of social skill in the internet is a good indicator of this. The reason people suspect internet relationships don't work is simply because of these idiots. Well, hey, it's exactly the same no matter the media. You put two socially inept idiots in a room with each other, and there'll be no love. That's the internet for you. People aren't being real with others or themselves, so for those, no, the internet is not a viable option. However, for those that can express themselves in whatever media, the internet has a wonderful array of options. The same argument could be made for the cell phone. People could say that texting a girl means your relationship won't work out, or that talking on the phone with her all day means your relationship won't work out, but they don't. Why is that? Because people take phone calls seriously. If an internet user said half the shit they say online to a Blowup Doll, they'd have no chance. If you don't take it seriously, that's your problem, not the internet's.

To summarize, the internet is not the issue; it's idiots. The divorce rate is about 50% in the US. Does this mean that real life is the issue in a relationship? No. That's absurd. To say that the media in which someone forms a relationship is the sole determinant of the result of that relationship is folly. It all depends on the people. The people shown in the "example" of the song posted are what I would consider idiots. You don't ask someone to move in with you when you don't know them, and you don't ask for naked images of them when you don't know them, no matter whether it's over the internet, pen pals, phone, or a schoolmate. If you are a idiot, you will end up having an idiotic relationship. Period.

Edit: Well, I was going to take all the instances of "girlfriend" out, but meh.
