Not the alcohol, gambling, shopaholic or overeating anonymous type wagons, it's the on line dating wagon.

I read the comments from women who swear up down and around that this cyberdating phenomenon is absolutely, categorically, definitively, not for them.

And then they re up. Just like that. 12 step program not withstanding, they can't keep away.

While clearly addictive, they confess, it isn't fattening, nor is it entirely socially unacceptable, nor, all things considered, particularly expensive…. so why not?

So I have done my own little polling and here are some additional rationalizations I'd like to share.

-You can sit like a slug in front of the computer, in your sweats, without having to meet and greet in the local hangout spot.

-You can create an exotic, wild and rich fantasy life, which bears absolutely no resemblance to reality, which not incidentally, coincides with the fantastical life created by your on line partner.

-You can have a whole travel experience without leaving home. Look, there's the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

-You can challenge your imagination by conjuring up a picture of what someone without pictures posted might look like. Then request a photo and see how close your guess was to reality.

Millions of reasons. 

When I come back from Bloomies, settle down with a glass of Pinot Grigio, after enjoying a deliciously, caloric laden prepared feast, you can bet that I will think about whether I should join in, too.
