E-Dating & Depression

almost 10 years

I bet people who e-date are more likely to be depressed than people who don't e-date.

I bet there's a pretty strong correlation. I bet it's statistically significant.

What do you guys think? Yes? No?

I'd never put something that stupid on my resume.

Real dating doesn't include sex. Real dating isn't centralized around sex--that's something that comes after.


In the secular world, real dating is centralized around sex.


Maybe in some, not all.


Most. A vast, vast, majority.

It's been three minutes since my last post and Gira still hasn't responded. Each of his previous responses came within a minute of my previous post. Looks like I've won this one.

What if people that e-date can get pretty ladies irl, too? Why does it have to be one or the other?


i would strongly doubt that this is the case


Why?


well generally speaking dumb cutesy communication via instant messaging etc is a pretty poor substitute for actual human interaction, and i imagine most people who "e-date" are generally immature/socially awkward kids. No adult is going to bother with that silliness, they just use okcupid or tinder or something like that

that said, who gives a crap, they'll grow up eventually

Why?


E-dating does not involve sexual intercourse, whereas real dating does.

Hint: Men choose sex.


Oh is it just men that choose it or...


wait, you're telling me girls actually like it too?


No. We just lay there so silly boys can have our ways with us. We get no physical pleasure from it whatsoever.

There's no way I'd use the word crazy on Jack. Sorry, dude. Looks like you blew this one just like you blew your case on him back in '11.

calling someone "****ing crazy" is fairly unambiguous (i be misremembering the exact phrasing) but i'm unsurprised you'd deny ever badmouthing him in private

This is about e-dating, not depression. Depression is just included in order to make e-daters feel bad about themselves and cease this behavior.


a very persuasive argumentative technique, did they teach that one in college or did you have to wait until law school to learn that one


Neither, Jack tipped me off after running mental circles around you in a span of minutes after you spent days trying to get him banned for something he didn't do.


ah, so you learned how to argue from a troll you believe is mentally ill


Quote me calling Jack mentally ill.

I, too, believe that people should cease doing things that make them happy.


Paternalism is a viable and indeed preferable authoritative behavior.
