16. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO COMPREHEND?

I mean, Jesus christ, it's two people spending time together and doing a hobby together, even if it's over the Internet. There are still two human beings BONDING over something. How, therefore, is it strange if the one ends up falling in love with the other?

ESPECIALLY if they're doing romance RPs, because it might reach that point where you realize that you share your character's feelings for the other person or something.

I don't know, I don't see how it's different than if you ended up falling in love with a guy you play chess with every day. It's called HUMAN INTERACTION AND BONDING, people.

OH, WAIT, I FORGOT. THERE ARE NO FUCKING PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET. THE PERSON YOU ARE CLEARLY TALKING TO IS A ROBOT.

(for the record, I met my girlfriend on the Internet, so yes, I am speaking from experience. I just don't see how this means I'm "desperate" for love or something.)

lol internet.

Did you miss the part about "not everybody being like that"? There are always exceptions. But from what I've seen, assuming what you say is true (and I've no reason to think otherwise) you're the exception rather than the rule.

Even so, as great as the internet can be for forging friendships, it's no substitute for real life. And that was the entire point of the secret, that it seems to me that so many of the people I see submitting secrets like this are substituting it for reality.

But mainly the flood of RP secrets just gets annoying. There should be a separate damn comm.

No, I'm wondering why there has to be "exceptions", and why this is so strange that it even happens. I don't see why it's weird that some people hook up over a hobby and some people don't.

Do you really think these people are substituting reality over real life just because they fall in love with someone online? Just because you can't see the person doesn't mean there isn't some aspect of their personality that they fall in love with. It IS true that they might not actually be in love with the person, but in love with the character that the person is playing (or more of, HOW they play the character), but I think it's like falling in love with an actor for the character he plays and ignoring the traits of the actor himself, you know? It happens in real life too.

Sorry, I just... don't see how it's different than people falling in love for the wrong reasons in real life. :/ The ease of access that the Internet gives us just makes it easier.

I'd actually rather stop seeing the "I ship it" and "I lose all respect for..." secrets. >> The "I ship it" ones are just for shock value/lulz and the "I lose respect for" secrets aren't secret, they're rants/whining. Shit, at least the RP ones are actually SECRETS half the time.

not the same anony

the way some of them act? yes, I definitely do.
