Why I Don't Internet Date

Convicted serial killer was dating game champ.

Now I'm well aware most internet daters are probably not serial killers. I also realize dating shows are not internet dating. One is for fame whores and the other is for lonely losers. But they are kinda sorta related in the way they reduce romance to a transaction and encourage a salesmen approach to wooing the opposite sex.

And I believe, by going at it this way, you open the door to serial killers and other psychopaths because their whole game is to fool you into thinking they are normal before chopping you into little pieces. It is easy to imagine why the serial killer psychopath would enjoy the process of the dating game and internet dating because of the vanity and conquest involved with the entire phony process.

But here's why it's scary - the rejection inevitably involved with internet dating or dating shows - is likely to set the psycho-serial killer off. And you want to be as far as possible from the psycho when they go psycho.
