houstonia: What makes you feel your social network partner wouldn't surf the Web for someone better when you start tripping, just like he/she did to meet you? Na my own question be that.

Becacia_Barbie: Okay leme add to this....

You dont actually find the good people online, because its either they are too busy wit heir lives preparing hard for the future or hooked up already! Btw not all.

It should be noted that, most people who are in-love dont usually surf the internet except for important reasons muchless social netwrks! Nd even if they do, its not alwys on a constant basis.

It has been confirmed that, most people who surf the internet are either single, heart-broken, lonely, flirts, spoilt brats, lazy or fraudsters! So the probability of finding a good guy or girl online is 2/10, while the probability of finding a bunch of lazy azzes, rude, idiots, criminals, etc is 9/10. So its up to you now.

slimyem: Nothing wrong with it.
The same people found online are the everyday people we see offline.

WTF is social network love If you're referring to meeting someone through Nairaland the social media, it's the same as meeting someone at the bar, in church or at the store. It's now part of our lives so i don't see any reason why you can't meet people there for love. You have to be careful anywhere you meet people and use your brain either ways

The question whether or not they are real and true to what they portray can be raised in all the avenues where you meet people. A person's true color will come out as the same eventually regardless of where you meet them.

justwise:

What planet do you live on? You don't meet fraudsters, lazzy as$a, criminals offline?

Becacia_Barbie:
Aww...dear, i wana believe u were taught probability in school...so dont u ask me stupid questions!

ITbomb:

Come here Debosky boo. Muuah.

Idowuogbo:
Wh0re!!

Mrs..Chima:


Jealous limp titties?

Debosky honey I made suya.

2legit2qwt:
So you like them black after all your shakara about white men

ogugua88: [size=13pt]The truth is that a lot of people here do not know of what they are talking. It's either they haven't been in a relationship that started on a social network or they've read one or two stories and deemed the scenario dangerous.

I'll have to look for the article I read some years back, but at the time (around 2009), 2% of people online had bad intentions. That number doesn't seem too different from what happens in the real world. People will be scammed regardless. It doesn't matter where it happens. Politicians don't loot using Facebook. Policemen don't bribe using 2go. Criminals didn't kidnap Nkiru Sylvanus using Nairaland. Rapists didn't brutalize that Indian woman and her boyfriend using Whatsapp. Take away social media and the same crimes we hear and see will exist. It will be as dangerous as it always has. Social media hasn't made the world any more or less dangerous. It's only given people another route to do exactly what they would have done without it.

All one has to do is exactly what they do when getting to meet someone in person: be yourself and be wary.[/size]

justwise: You are definitely referring to your primitive self.

Your write up is anti social and contradicts your argument, in this 21st century communication is knowledge and knowledge is power, I believe you live in a non E-environment if not you would have noticed the real busy and decent people spend 90% of their working time on line, its through social media people get update and learn what is going on around them more so everything revolves the internet this day, its just sad most guys in Nigeria have no access to it yet.You can learn almost how to do anything from the NET if you are kin to know so along these process you get to chat to people of different race and nationality and of different sex, you interact and get to know about each other, you decide to meet, you might fancy yourselves and walaa there begins a new relationship, might go good might go bad, but heey thats the mysteries of life.

Rabble rouse!
The use of the internet is diverse and we are discussing SOCIAL networking.

I don't think any serious lady with class will scout for husband online. I have couple of female bankers as friends, hardly do they update their status talk more of chatting.

If I have a well paid job in Lagos and the lady I fell in love online with is in abuja and with good job too and a career, how then do we settle 'relocation'?

Internet relationship is for JOBLESS people and GOLD DIGGERS!

justwise: I don't think you understand this topic, we are not talking about second-life here, meeting people online does not mean you are going to marry and live online. Social networking is just a tool , you don't meet gold diggers and jobless people offline?
