With all these things in mind, the biggest lesson you take away from online dating should be to not take it all too seriously. After all, its the people who are way too invested who scream at anyone who turns them down, who spend hours crafting the perfect profile complete with fake vital statistics and misleading photographs, who go insane and send photographs of their crotches to everyone who lives within a three mile radius. Have fun and dont get too invested before youve even met someone in the flesh. After all, that person youre talking to could ghost at any moment. They could be the weirdo on the right-hand side of that group photo, not the good-looking one in the middle. They might turn out to just be a really smart parrot, pecking away at their owners keyboard. Or the leader of the deadly Cyborg Army. Forewarned is forearmed.
