Yeah, but that's to be expected since that type of marriage is currently physically impossible. The article assumes that technology and virtual reality have advanced to the point that meeting online is just as vivid and physical as meeting in person. Granted, I don't know the exact details of any of the relationships that have come from this site, but I'm pretty sure that some of the couples decided to at least move in together after only a couple face to face meetings. Is it that crazy to think that if they could have been meeting virtualface to virtualface that whole time, they wouldn't just decide it was too much trouble to move half way accross the globe just to be with the less physically attractive versions of themselves? The article assumes a lot of pretty crazy things, but the virtual marriage ones seems like one of the least crazy to me.
