Impression Management

I was reading about impression management earlier today and it was creepy to realize and understand how so many people online, which is millions of people have online accounts to many different social networking sites and others. With impression management you can create who you want you to be. You perceive your concept of self and  how people present themselves to others. This brings me to the idea of online dating, its becoming such a popular method of romantic realtionship finding, i'm surprised their hasn't been more rape stories and killing stories due to online dating. (a good thing don't get me wrong) but with all the creeps out their, how easy is it for them to make an account, make a profile upload some random pictures  of someone they want to be and start a relationship with an unsuspecting desperate possible mate. Its scary to think about. I mean any of us could  do it, its that easy. Computer mediated communication allows you make your own impressions, identity that you probably wouldn't be able to play out in real life, then you have the freedom to experiment and control who you can and cant talk to. I think about it, and how many people are in CMC relationships with people who want to kill them. Yikes!! i also dont really agree with the fact that you can find somebody through internet usage and meet in real life and get married, obviously people lack f2f communication skills and then their meeting in real life to be able to be compadable? However, i could see how two socially awkward people could just be breaking the ice through online....i don't know i'm just rambling.
