Gen i - the internet generation - sure know how to get it all at the click of a mouse, from movies, music, friendship to even that elusive date.
Replica watchesWhile a recent study has proved that excessive social networking has led many a relationship to go kaput as people tend to reconnect with their exes, youngsters seem oblivious to this and continue their online rendezvous. Just when everyone thought that cyber dating was harmless fun, in came the Sania-Shoaib-Ayesha triangle. It almost burst the bubble of this online phenomenon.
Manuj Natraj, an engineering student who swears by cyber dating, sees no harm in it. "The traditional argument for not using the internet to meet someone is that it is not 'natural'. So what is natural?" he asks. "Traditional means of meeting your spouse also have their pitfalls."
Youngsters also blame the hectic work schedule and fast pace of life for not having time to date people in the flesh. Aarathi Sivadas, working at an MNC says, "We spend most of our time working and don't have enough opportunities to meet new people outside office. In such a scenario the only option available is to date someone online. Youngsters spend a lot of time online, so it makes sense."
Those who stay away from cyber dating, feel that it's not the best way to enter a serious relationship. "Cyber dating is for sad, desperate, geeky or freaky people," says Amrita Rao Upadhrastha. "They are scared to face the real world. I've seen lots of my friends indulge Replica watches in dating online, because they're bored!"

Dr Aruna Reddy informs, "Youngsters who are oppressed continuously in life or who have had unsound serious relationships opt for cyber dating and blind dating." She goes on to add, "Cyber dating abuse leads to break-ups and can have major repercussions such as depression, which in turn cause mental trauma and also lead to insomnia, which results in major mental disorders. It mainly affects the lives of young children and young adults, due to their lack of maturity."
