It seems that most of the criticisms of online dating are reflective of that random happening we commonly know as “life.” In life as well as the cyberworld, men outnumber women at nearly every social event. Any trip to a singles bar or an organized social will serve as testamant that guys have the odds stacked against them.
Hence the reason men need to use their looks, charm and sense of humor to capture the affections of the opposite sex. If he didn’t have to work to get the girl, it would be awfully damn boring. And since the cyberworld is every bit like life, winning a mate involves using your assets in varied and meaningful ways. It begins with the introduction, the ability to write an attractive message. Women are generally more verbal than men, after all, so the men who can best express themselves will almost always have the advantage.
In any event, the time has come that most of us get over the obscure expectation that life or online dating comes with some form of guarantee. It doesn’t. An Online dating service only presents one more place where men and women have the opportunity to meet each other. It is up to you to work it out from there.

Judith Blume is the rare individual in these repressive times to accept and acknowledge thre reality of sexually active teens. We have much praise for an author who is willing to deal most candidly with this controversial subject. We would only hope others would follow her example by dealing candidly with other controversial subjects. Such practice would encourage the kind of open forum that almost always leads to better understanding of both sides of an issue was well as new developments in social thought.
