All jokes aside this seems sweet and sincere. There isn't one single thing wrong with meeting a person online, becoming friends, getting to know each other, meeting in real life, getting to know each other more, falling in love, getting married, and producing small human like carbon based lifeforms.

The problem is the general viewing audience that watch these type of shows will not find this entertaining. Not at all. Lets take a look at the show the OP presented as an example of what MTV is trying to do here...

Catfish

"Catfish is a 2010 American documentary involving a young man being filmed by his brother and friend as he builds a romantic relationship with a young woman on the social networking website Facebook."

aww.. Isn't that sweet. BORING!!

The good part, the part that made this TV worthy of the general reality TV viewing audience, is the fact that the whole thing turned out to be a lie.

...snip... "He later finds evidence that Megan and Abby have made other false claims." ... snip... "Ariel urges his upset brother to continue the relationship for the documentary."

We continue this impending train wreck to see people go to rehab, coming clean about the truth and other dark little family secrets that entertain us.

Now to put the icing on the cake...

"In an interview Ariel Schulman related that some viewers believe Catfish to be a fake documentary, or a hoax. Morgan Spurlock, director and subject of the documentary Super Size Me, walked up to the producers of the film during one of its initial screenings and told them "it was the best fake documentary I have ever seen". Comedian Zach Galifianakis also has stated that he does not believe the events in the film to be true.

Kyle Buchanan at Movieline questions why the filmmakers would begin obsessively documenting Nev's online relationship so early on, and argues that it is highly improbable that media-savvy professionals like the Schulmans and Joost would not use the Internet to research Megan and her family before meeting them. Others have also questioned the trio's decision to begin filming, as well as the seemingly improbable coincidence of them catching everything of importance to the story on film as it happens. It has also been pointed out that the group's supposed movements in Catfish are not documented in their public blog postings at the time and that at least one website mentioned in the Internet conversations shown in the film does not appear to have existed.

This is what MTV wants... Just like Vallikat said.. "A train wreck" Why? Because train wrecks sell advertising space, because train wrecks bring is the audience = revenue. No train wreck? BORING!!

Hell, I'm all for it! If your down with this sort of thing then have at it. It will also be a nice marketing plug for FC = AO, right? They get to have AO plastered all over MTV!! So bring on the trains and good luck to those that get involved.

waddabout guys pretending to be girls pretending to be guys pretending to be girls in a MMO

[greenpooh]

your wrong, evryone wanna see people with low social ability, that rather choose a computer more than Real life. people are werry intrested to see how this kind of people behave and how their relationships are. 2x lovebirds gameing together.. cant get more fun to watch if your not a computer person.. me myself thinks this is odd. ofc i can also play, but when you have a IRL you also see the diffrence and how weird non IRL people are when we play with em ingame. they are werry intresting people
i cant see how you cant find this entertaining.. the computer word ( EMO ) this spread like fire to IRL, becose irl people obviously has a intrest in Un social people, its not a cool thing to be caled emo for most guys, its like retard but worse :P and to see emo/retards on television with a crew that has a plan to make good tv. they will obviously not just tape this people without haveing a plan for it to be entertaining. as i said earlyer, i hope those who thinks this sounds like a great idea to think twice, becose i doubt this will give the people signing for this a postive effect after MTV is done with em. and yes i know Net dateing is usual, but Game Dateing..its 2 big diffrent things ! ! !

You're assuming that people choose to meet someone through the computer rather than out in person, but I'd figure that it just sort of happens when people have interaction with eachother. Why would it be any different just because it's through a digital medium like a game?

And you're wrong on your other assumption; "emo" is not a "computer word", but a designation of a subculture. That's then been picked up as slur, like "gay", and so many other things, because some people don't "get it".

Did anyone actually do that?

You live under a rock?

[greenpooh]

yeah wiki ftw but evryone that calls someone a emo that is rather often in games is always ment to be offensive to throw trash and evryone takes it werry hard. and i doubt they take it hard if we gonna go out from your wiki emo/tard is the same in a game, but insted of caling someone crybaby retard they rather say emo

What would I need wiki for it's common knowledge what the emo culture is emo you wouldn't call anyone unless they're being overly emotional about something. If you do, you're the one being the tard cause it doesn't make any sense but then, non-english speakers and ignorants etc. generally just make up their own versions of what something means and then go about just saying weird things and using the wrong words. This is always funny

[Krattonomic]

ask sparklygrl and tarryk.... they are married and both of them are playing AO :O

[vallikat]

Tarryk and Sprklygrrl knew each other from RL actually. So not a good example.

[Towerblock]

"There are no women on the internets" I've always loved this saying.

Chances are, if you have been told that by someone.. its a woman in disguise that wants nothing to do with you. Whatever unfortunate process that you may have undergone to actually believe this saying, well... you have my condolences. :P
