Why? The bar scene, it's you unmediated. Even if you adopt a different persona while you're out, you have to work to keep it going the whole time. Rejection is immediate and in your face, oftentimes cold. If you're not in a huge city, you always risk running into someone you know.
On the web, you can construct whatever reality you want, and you don't have to throw your whole self into it while you do so. You can put up fake pictures, you can flirt from the comfort of your bathrobe. You can keep your anonymity until the actual moment of interaction, and you know the groundrules going in.
- mattmaroon 18y agoIt's a bunch of slimy, anonymous strangers on AFF. You think the average woman wants anything to do with anyone who would be on AFF?
- calambrac 18y ago1. You're changing the subject, from 'courage' to 'desire'. 2. We're talking about a woman who goes out and picks up random strangers, either in a bar or online. Is that the 'average' woman? 3. I wasn't talking about AFF in particular, just the idea of cheating via the internet vs. cheating via the bar scene.
