...but that's probably just me.

I don't think it's your or my deeply-ingrained "American values," the whole conpect is pretty fucking weird. And by weird I mean .

Indeed.

Yesssssss, weeeeeeeeeeird.

Isn't it easy to forget that just 30 years half the world would marry their children off predeterminately from birth.

There is no situation involving courting and sex, in any society, that would not constitute itself as "weird" in some way.

If anything, I'd consider on-line dating to be safer than traditional pub meet-ups, as it takes some brains to get on-line still (and used to be harder & more expensive in the early-to-mid-1990s). When Internet connections become even more accessible, easier to use, & cheaper, then it might be less safe (being that 'anyone can be on'), though hopefully the world itself will be safer in the future anyway so it won't matter.

I think we're pretty close to the later (anyone can be on)...check out a Craig's List "Casual Encounters" section. Some of the people make me

...and hell yeah I check it out every once in a while...it's a sick fascination.

Ya. We are really getting there. I bet by the early 2010s (3 years from now minimum, 7 maximum), Internet will be as accessible & cheap as phones currently are.
