Difficulty in On-line Relationships

Welcome Gail

The reason why it's so hard for women to know the truth or trust someone on-line is because communication is only a fraction of what it would be in person and seeing a man once every 3 months doesn't quite cut it either. Women can't get a proper read on the guy even if he is telling the truth, and really, how often do you think that happens?

The reason why women find this blog and ask the questions is because they cannot reconcile their femine instincts that are so good at detecting male hogwash. If you read through most of the stories, you'll notice very quickly that the term "undecided" and "unsure" comes to mind, even as they plan to marry the guy.

I don't know of any women who have married a man they met in person who they were "undecided" about.

On-line dating is loaded with scandals and corruption, in addition to the usual pool of jerks and cases were the relationship just doesn't pan out.

Add all that up and it's a bleak prospect for success and I very much discourage it for international relationships.
