How sick is this really getting.....

I attempted to give this cyber romance the benefit of the doubt. After logging on to several websites it has become apparent that this is what is considered as cool in our society today...If you are not a member of myspace.com, singles.net and other dating websites than you have no real connection to the world. What I find very disheartening is why the need to create the facade of establishing love connections ,when they are promoting and exploiting sex. They garner high revenues by charging menial fees to be able to pick out briars from the rose garden. You know longer have to look at pull apart the flower to see what is inside the bud, because it is made available for your viewing pleasure. Sick is the word that I utilize too explain this phenomenon. Women and men of all racial, professional and economic backgrounds are using these sites as a cover for risky sex encounters. Perverts and sexual predators see this as a virtual playground to prey upon unsuspecting underage males and females. No commitment seems to be a popular theme song and it has not RSVP or VIP appointments. It is all live, raw and in the nude for inspection. It really affected me as a young woman to see women like me exposing their nude bodies requesting to engage in group sex and other wild encounters. The biggest issue is for romantics are that they hold fantasies in our head expecting Ms. Right or Mr. Right to magically fall from heaven or a grocery store. Why leave your love life up to chance when you really can just look at the smorgasbord and make a choice that guaranteed to cause food poisoning rapidly? The smorgasbord can fill you up temporary but can caused death if you are not careful. Therefore, I pose this question to the world. How sick is this really getting and once again where is the romance in a cyber sex age...It seems to have disappeared...

you are brave - I wouldn't be able to do what you did. I had a client who posted her profile on match.com and she was really disappointed with the "selection" -- I thought that was a funny way of putting it in that menu kind of way. I don't know how people meet people today - I don't know if monogamy or commitment works with overpopulation - do we really need to procreate? Do we need love?
