Online dating is the whim of the century. It is taking our planet by storm and is now officially feature of life as we know it right through the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. It may not have thumped the Middle East as yet, but will, soon enough.

I ask myself, why are people so in love with the virtaul dating game? I have to admit I have always seen it as a really sordid fad for hermits. But who am I to speak?. And why should I think it to be seedy to want to greet other people?

Of course, there are, without a doubt, people who visit online dating sites to feed a more sexual need. Many, though, are appealed to the potential of getting to know fellow websurfers so as to learn of other cultures with others further away.

We live in a cruel world. We live in colossal towns but have little time to get out and meet others. Our homes are bulging with lonely people trying to find other singles, but its just far too dear to socialize.

To get out and meet new friends at nightclubs is almost hardly worth the trouble too. Plus chit chat is both inaudible or drunken drools with a few drinks.

We, residents of the busy global cities, just can't find other people. So we make friends over the internet.

But there's another group of individuals who access such sites for a giggle. Such sites are filled with incredibly outrageous life-stories and videos - anything will do to seek out the attention they're looking for.
