This section is very important because it is so relevant to the present. So many people meet online—an option that wasn’t available even 20 years ago. The internet has given us a way to connect with people from all over the world, literally. This section is particularly important to me because I met my husband online. Granted, it wasn’t on the www—it was on a school’s computer system, but nevertheless we did not meet through friends, at a bar or other common ways. Aside from us, I have one other friend who met her husband online. Both of us met our husbands during the early days of the internet, when there weren’t as many people online and somehow it felt “safer.” I’m not sure if this was simply our perception, but back then it seemed like people were more honest in their communication with each other. That’s why I was shocked to read the statistics from an earlier reading about the percentages of people who lied about their basic profile information (weight, income, marital status, etc.) But on the other hand, maybe it shouldn’t surprise me because a friend who recently had a few relationships with men she met online was lied to about these very basics.
