Thoughts On Romance Scams

article image placeholderUploaded by @GlennPriceMann
But, you know, I think people are lonely, people who are desperate for companionship and look, there are success stories. You hear stories all the time about people who met online and, you know, clicked right away and they ended up, you know, getting together, perhaps getting married, having children. During the pandemic, this happened a lot where people, you know, met someone strictly online, and we're just communicating that way. And eventually they met up and they were together

People need to utilize that you need to meet. I know some people are long distance, and it's cute, but I like to think about the reality of it. You know, it might sound cute to know somebody that's a few thousand miles away, but it's not really a relationship. You know, if this person doesn't make any immediate plans to come meet you and actually date you, it's not a relationship

And if that person really wants to be involved with you, they should take steps to see you, or you should take steps to see them. Just, you know, to see if everything's legit. And, you know, whether online or in person, you can be susceptible to people who have bad intentions

Yeah. So I don't know, it's kind of a peculiar topic and to me it's just kind of fascinating how, you know, people can get become attached through electronic means and it kind of brings a question to my mind like is it really possible to fall in love with someone through electronic means, you know, through the computer and FaceTime and maybe the phone? Is that kind of love? Is that kind of love real?

And, yeah, it's, you know, I think people obviously, I think the vast majority of human beings crave affection and companionship. And I think when it seems so easily accessible via your computer or your smartphone, I think sometimes people, common sense kind of goes out the way. There's another story I saw where a woman, she was in her sixties, she was married. She was convinced that she was in the online relationship with Keanu Reeves, the Hollywood film star
