I think people have this misconception that people who have met on pimd and are dating either online in an LDR or have met in person were somehow looking for a Bf/Gf on a game. That is usually NOT the case. And if it IS the case, those relationships generally stay within the confines of pimd forever. ? Seeing as I can only honestly speak for myself, I will do so. I did not come pimd looking for love. This isn't Match.com or ChristianMingle.com. It's a damn game. For the sole purpose of being played, and advancing not meeting your one true love. Pimd is NOT a dating app, or matchmaking website. And I would like to say that I am fully aware of that, and I am highly annoyed by the amount of people who are on campus daily begging for a bf or gf or pimd hubby or pimd wifey. Excuse me? But that kind of behavior is desperate. It's desperate, annoying, and sickening when you have people asking for preteens on campus. ? Ahem? If you're asking for someone that young you're either too young to be playing yourself, or you're a sexual predator that ought to be watched extremely closely. Moving on. Sometimes, it happens that normal, average, respectable players and people meet someone that they really care for on pimd (of all places? Ikr! I'm shocked too!). We weren't hunting down soulmates we were playing a game, warring with someone, mocking someone's comment on campus, screaming "AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!" during Aussie hour, or visiting a club. We're not desperate. Hell no, most of those people in committed "pimd" (met on pimd) relationships especially those that are together in person were incredibly reluctant to enter into something like that. I know I was. Especially if you're someone who's like "why would anyone date someone they've never met in person? That's so stupid?" Well ironically here I am dating someone I know like the back of hand and yet I haven't met him person. ? Who'd have thought? We aren't desperate lmao, we are awesome people. Hello Cherry is awesome, Mr and Mrs Pheonix are awesome, Queeny and Juubi are awesome. I'm awesome. Ahliedel and Mike are awesome, Mr and Mrs Rehab are awesome. So you HONESTLY think we can't get up and go find someone in real life? Lmfao please wake up and smell the damn roses, maybe we're in love. And we don't want to simply find somebody else. ? If it was that simply we wouldn't go through all the trouble now would we? The point is. Couples that met on pimd, whether you've already met in person or if you're not able to just yet because of distance or if you're almost there, ARE real. It's a real fucking relationship. There are struggles, there's inconveniences, there's trust issues, there's fear, there's doubt, there's "Is this even going to work or are we kidding ourselves?" But that is in every damn relationship. The struggles are real. The video chats are real, the phone calls, the presents, the romantic gestures from miles away, the wishing they were there, the AWESOME AMAZINGNESS that is meeting them in person for the first time, is REAL. ? And if you can't pull your head out of your ass and see that not every "pimd" relationship is merely stuck on pimd, and realize that the reason these relationships last, the reason that people try to make them work, the reason you wait ages just to see the person you love in person, is because it is real. We're humans. We fall in love. Love doesn't always understand things like "timing" and "distance" and "I'm sort of broke atm". It's impractical, illogical, and uncontrollable. ? It takes a lot of courage to try and make any relationship work. It takes even more courage to do so when regular conventions are thrown out the window. But when someone is that important to you, it's worth the struggle. ? It's worth the "are you actually dating someone you met online?" So maybe. Just maybe, before you start mocking, or bashing, or hating on "pimd" relationships you really think about what exactly you're making fun of. ?
I didn't realize that I hit on the desperate thing already when I put in the paragraph about us being awesome people. But it emphasizes my point.
No they're actually couples. I wouldn't say that they're PIMD couples tho, because that gives people the illusion that the relationship only exists within the confines of PIMD.
I feel left out ? knew no one loved the pandas? can't even be included in the awesome list of rl couples on Pimd
I dunno, I wouldn't date someone over the app, but there's some people on here that if I knew them in person I would probably take them out for a date
Tucker~ I personally didn't meat my man on this app, I met him on league of legends (I hope I'm allowed to say that) but he plays this with me occasionally....but I feel sometimes you have to trust your heart.
