AR-How about this. I have helped develop the site for like 5 years. I see the accounts daily and I can tell you that Leslie is bang on. There is maybe 10-15% of the population that switches, pretty small when you think about. Many users actually use the site to go on virtual date before going on real dates. Virtual marriages turned real and all that jazz. Try thinking past what CNN told you.
Although some people may come to the site to be someone else, who they are ends up coming through in the end. Its an awesome community.
