E-Dating & Depression

over 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?

Dave I wasn't denying likely correlation. Just had an issue with the way it was originally being worded like the binge watching articles which made people think watching Dexter for 5 hours will cause depression


well it is dexter...

if by statistically significant you mean with a confidence level of 10% then sure, I'll agree with you

Perfect couple's night out: video skyping eachother while eating at two separate Olive Gardens across the country, followed by an evening of Epicmafia account making.

It's not really a mystery... There's a correlation because people that spend a lot of time on the internet probably don't have a life IRL (not saying in a negative way, it's the truth), hence why they can spend so much time on the internet. Same reason half of the people seem to be gay on the internet. People that spend their time on the internet have probably been bullied in their life and find it easier to connect with people online.

because surfing the web is a solitary activity and is thus enjoyed by more introverted/withdrawn people. I think it's common knowledge that these types of people are more likely to be depressed than extroverts.

I got an A- in psych 101 at Uni so feel free to professionally cite anything I say on here.

it would be an interesting discussion determining why internet users are generally depressed

To be fair, people who spend a lot of time on the internet have a higher-than-average chance of having depression in the first place, thus E-Dating is almost guaranteed to have that.

I agree with the OP.
