In doing so you are discouraged from going out and building real relationships with real people. Furthermore, someone who becomes really involved in this may establish some unrealistic expectations for any future girlfriend they may have. The "girl" on the computer is always there specifically and only for you, and always perfect, and never needs anything from you, and never fights with or argues with or challenges you. Real girls have lives and needs and personalities of their own.
I'm on the opposite end of on this if it makes you happy go on and do it.
I'm not trying to say anyone should be *banned* from doing it.
It's about whether or not it's a healthy and productive practice. Not all things that bring you immediate happiness at the moment are good for you or give you a happier life in the long run.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
