Second Life: Relationships In Hyper Speed

Anyone familiar with the game Second Life will agree that it is equally part intriguing and equally part mind numbing.  On one hand, Second Life exists as an endless journey of the imagination, where whatever the mind can fathom, can be created with enough hard work and patience.  Yet, on the converse side, and for a large majority of Second Life inhabitants, it is a glorified internet dating chat room.  It is this relationship aspect of Second Life that is it’s greatest and worst characteristic.

Consider the following facts:

1. The average Second Life intimate relationship lasts, on average, two months.
2. The average time between Second Life relationships is two to three weeks.
3. 90% of rebound relationships outside of Second Life fail.
