dating 'bots

2000-12-01 23:42:42+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Via Daze Reader, another one of those 'blogs which makes me wonder why I even try 'cause it's done so well, Japanese men dating Perl scripts via email. Except that the denizens of IRC and AOL chat rooms have been doing this unintentionally for a long time... But more seriously there are some deeper social change and interaction issues here that have been puzzling me and that Columbine has been mulling over. "You have the happiness of a secret woman, a hidden relationship, with none of the fear that your wife will find out and be angry. My grandfather had the geisha, my father had the bar hostesses and I have Love By Mail."
