I enjoy talking with all kinds of people on here, and have met several in person. People are interesting, both on here and in person. I enjoy the good intellectual conversation, when that does actually happen... lol. However, if I ever were to begin a relationship with someone, I would definitely be more cautious.

I think so and think not in a way. In person, we don't come with profile tags around our necks. You can't spot a good person from a bad one from across the room (or across the country in the case of online dating). Of course people can be pretty deceptive anywhere, but picking and choosing online is somewhat easier when you can sort through people based on pictures and what they have to say about themselves. In public, all you really have are looks and the way a person is interacting with their current setting. But online, you're looking through people and getting a better view of who they might be and getting to choose whether or not to skip them on by. In real life, we're typically more careful who we approach because changing our minds isn't quite so easy. I hope this makes some sense. I am kinda rambling at random. Just that real life has no "yes" "no" or "maybe" button, and it doesn't have a "block" button. So it's really kinda hard to say we're more picky online or in real life, but I believe more careful in it.


I agree with this not so rambly statement.I wouldnt say i am more picky online. More open to communicating with someone I dont know online than in reality. There is a saftey net online and drama can be easily elliminated.
Im not sure if picky is the right word eaither. You have an agenda, weather that agenda is meeting new friends or expanding your options for a potiential mate. Its good to have your agenda defined, there is nothing "picky" about having an age bracket or a system of filtering. its common sence. Unfortunatly some peoples filters are shallow, but than they miss out on many wonderfull life experiences in reality as well. Some people are preditory, online and off, I was a bartender for too long to not be able to spot that breed (filters are good). If you have expectations of people, and let them know, they will live up to them (yea) or go away (also yea). Just my two cents.drinks drinks flowerforyou

Do you think you are more picky at picking and talking to people online for dating as opposed to in person?
