No to online dating

To start this off, I'm not saying it doesn't ever work, but why I'm against it. I do find online friendships a positive, but a totally different dynamic.

The biggest reason I'm against is because I've experienced pheromones and that can only be accomplished from meeting in person. Pheromones carry information on physical compatibility, a woman with more compatibility will have more attractive pheromones. They are odorless but found in natural human scent. Because of this pictures are almost useless, you might as well as ask me to evaluate a painting or sculpture. I've only felt strong pheromonal attraction for six women. There were twenty others where I felt something, but not nearly as strong. The last woman I had feelings for, if you told me her career choice and a picture of her, I wouldn't have guessed I would have responded so strongly. That is because the body doesn't consider the things the mind or soul does. All I knew is my body wanted hers and the feeling was mutual. However, you can't get that feeling from a picture of the internet. Some women look very pretty, but that is the mind, not the body. Without meeting in person you'll never know how your bodies feel about each other.

This feeling has no substitute and the agony of expecting it and not finding it is my biggest gripe with online dating. I've done the old ways, my neighbors set me up with a woman. I got to know her as a friend over the Summer, but the feeling wasn't there. She was in a related field and looked pretty, but the feeling wasn't there. On paper she would look favorable, but in person I felt nothing. The difference between meeting her and online dating, I was introduced to her by my neighbors and it was more natural. She was staying with my neighbors and I was introduced to her as I regularly visited them.

So in closing, I am against online because it doesn't include pheromones and is inherently artificial. I have enough women in my natural environments I have no need for an artificial one, especially since it can include scams or hurt people too invested. My preference for new relationships is Church, then work (colleagues not customers), then College, and then the wild. Meeting in natural environments works out better for all those involved and leads to less confusion and conflict. For that reason, I'm out.
