Would you seriously consider marrying someone from here?

[KasiKesh]

let the answers come🙃

[AmandaYVR]

Yep, I would. To those who say these are not real people, real connections, and can therefore not create real relationships... well, you're entitled to your opinion. And I do have a friend right now, as a matter of fact, who is in this very situation of potentially being manipulated by a girl who claims to love him, but there are too many inconsistencies to not be highly, highly suspicious of her. However, for my own mind and experience, I've had no issues with inauthenticity, and I've met some really good people on GAG. (And I'm a cynic and skeptic by nature, who never takes things at face value without thought.) There is marriage material here. No doubt about it. (Compatibility? Well, that's another thing. That's the hard part.)

[ZXCwWRQWz]

The difficulty I find is that they've never met each other in person unless they have (have GaG members met each other already?) I really think the information we exchange in all online forms of communication, even video as the ultimate, is still a narrow subset of what two people can exchange in person. So I'm very happy if two people here can form a great relationship but it's hardly something I would want to recommend to most people. For most people, I want to recommend they go out of their door and meet some people they can talk to in person!

[AmandaYVR]

@ZXCwWRQWz I do agree with that. IRL is far, far superior and more expedient.
But people are lonely, and it's becoming harder and harder for people to find others (because they don't go out enough, financial constraints, covid changed peoples' confidence in socializing, work-from-home and gig work are common, etc etc).

Yep, people have met in person off GAG. Not saying it necessarily goes well, though. Mixed results, I expect.

[ZXCwWRQWz]

In my hippie ideal society, there would be "online friend sites", and people would be doing the analogy of swiping right on both sexes and even sexes they aren't sexually attracted with. Then we form friend groups and have picnics, barbecues, home parties, maybe even rent out a bar or nightclub collectively, and spend a lot of time together that way first before anyone gets the idea of asking anyone else on a date.

[Billlewis]

Sure, why not? A site like this is a very good way to find out how compatible a woman is for me, and provides an excellent opportunity to discuss some of the tasks I'm good at performing, etc.

[ZXCwWRQWz]

Hell no. Even if I was a bachelor, I never considered internet exchanges anywhere near on par with ones we have in-person.

[ZXCwWRQWz]

Friendship also, even with guys. I don't consider my online friends real friends. We haven't met in person. That doesn't mean I don't value them but they're not the same as real friends; we aren't exchanging the same level of information when we communicate.

[KasiKesh]

There aren't many people here anyway :)

[ZXCwWRQWz]

That also but I consider all online relationships fake! I'm old school and thoroughly against online dating, for example.

[KasiKesh]

but it's old now you can find and meet from the other side of the world

[ZXCwWRQWz]

I don't see why the people we can meet within our vicinity without airplane trips are so bad that we have to take an airplane trip to meet people across the world. Besides, I'm a marriage-oriented guy (as well as married). Let's say I fall in love with a woman in Africa as a bachelor. Isn't that still a problem with citizenship and visa?

[KasiKesh]

If the country you are in is not a problem, you can bring it and get married.

[ZXCwWRQWz]

It's too much of a commitment for my tastes. Marriage is a huge deal and a lifelong commitment with children for those of us who take it seriously.

[KasiKesh]

After love, the rest is a lie, my friend👍

[AmandaYVR]

"I consider all online relationships fake!"
This was what I meant the "Awwww" on.

[ZXCwWRQWz]

@AmandaYVR Cheers!

[MementoMori777]

I've ran into some people i believe might be marriage material but i wouldn't consider marrying anyone cause its unrealistic with people on here but my point is that people that are worth marrying might linger around here, rarely lol

[Berethor]

Sure why it matter where we met? if a woman is virgin then I can consider marrying her. :)

[TrillXHippy]

I see these types of questions and I think to myself… would that person consider it? I still don’t think so

[virtualwasp]

depends, are they jewish?

[Whatthefluff]

Yes @Travis_Skyles

[Travis_Skyles]

Are you proposing?

[Whatthefluff]

Only if you say oui

[Travis_Skyles]

Oui?

[Avicenna]

Hell no

[Avicenna]

Even if there would be a woman who's compatible with me on here, she's far away

[LavLavLuv]

Nope

[KasiKesh]

love likes coincidences :)

[AmeerX]

Of course I would do so

[electraheartt]

no….

[KasiKesh]

What if the man you love is here:)

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No..
