The See-Through Generation

I must hereby coin the following adage for the times ahead. 
The see-through generation.
This is today's group of young adults who desperately run to the online dating sites in hopes that they may find a match. True its a good way to know that another person does in fact exist.  That said, you are not going to be a part of their family prior to their introduction to your life.  You view an online add and you look at their pretty face or their pretty prose and jump up and down in your bedroom thinking you met "the one".  Maybe you did.  But its not for me.  I will forgo marriage as long as it does take so that when I meet a real woman, I am in favor of her family and her soul.  To see a woman on a computer screen and go for a hook up is just a way to be savvy about the types of ladies you are going to meet.  That's really fine as far as the world cares, right.  But to think that that is the way of the ages you are completely out of your skull.
It was fun when I got to browse some of the personal adds. I met a total of four ladies on the Jdate program many years gone by. None were the right person for me.
That said, its only a matter of time before you really meet your true mate.  Dont wake up when you are 24 years old and decide its time to marry.  That's fine if you really must do so, but to say you are going to meet someone on an online site is foolish.  I'd say that if you are not Jewish, online dating is very smart.  But for those of you who are Jews, stay away from this foolish sacrifice of human relationships.  It might be a fun way to meet someone, but don't get your hopes up.  And oh yea, I think that putting your photograph up on a jewish dating web site is the most desperate act of a desperate mind.   You owe it to your mother and father to keep their prize and joy out of the funny papers of life.  If you are on an online web page looking for your besheret, I say you are the joke of the ages.  You might find her. You might be successful. I guess some really are. But that said, the Jewish community has existed for thousands of years and we did not have online dating.  So guess what. If you believe in God, then you realize that online dating is just a cheap flaky way to go.  God will give you your besheret when its time.  And no, I dont do Jdate anymore.  Thanks!
