What are you waiting for?
At what point did this become a society distinction? I never thought on it much because well.....life is life. I even catch myself saying "In my real life...." But what does that mean? I mean when I talk to people here on fubar I talk to them about real life things. I speak to real life people. And some of them I even care about outside of fubar in my real everyday life.
People talk about online life like it's not a real world. It's just fantasy. But let's be honest, how much more real could it get? On Eharmony commercials it says one in five relationships start online. (I realize it's a commercial but I bet there's statistical facts out there to back it up) I've gotten my feelings hurt on this site. Isn't that real life? And for some who are workaholics, lazy, busy, whatever the situation may be, this is their life. Real or otherwise.
Now I do get that some people can't distinguish fact from reality. If you're a 30 or 40 something year old guy, with no life, living in mom's basement and you think that pic of a 20 something year old hot girl is TOTALLY in love with you and you're willing to spend hundreds of dollars on her. Then you're completely shocked when she leaves you for the next hot thing. Well you deserved that. But you would deserve that "In the real world" too. It happens all the time. It happens everyday. People get taken for a ride. But why is it suppose to be less hurtful here? Why should we be more harsh on people because they take internet so seriously? When did you start caring so much about real vs internet that you lost sight of just life?
