The rules of On-line Dating
Edited on Thu Mar-25-04 09:57 PM by camero
It's The Onion... A hilarious read.

More people are using computers to find that special someone. Here are some tips to help make your online-dating experience safe and fun:

Under no circumstance should you give someone you meet online a lot of personal information. You could place yourself in the dangerous position of having a date who knows what a loser you are.


When considering the serious step of marriage, it's good form to seek the approval of the message-board moderator.

Set yourself apart by choosing a descriptive user-name like SocialRetard342, CuteFaceFatAss, or RohypnolLarry.

If you decide to break up with your online mate, for God's sake, have the decency to do it over the phone.

4. I agree about the phone part
Being too afraid to have an actual verbal dialog is a pretty hurtful thing to do to someone.

7. Gotta admit
The irony of that was pretty funny. Start on the computer and end on the phone. :)

I agree it is hurtful to not use your voice.

8. You know it's wierd
I find life is already a parody of what it used to be and so parody sites like the Onion aren't that entertaining any more. But that article was cute and funny, and every once in a while there's an article that's hilarious. :7
