For me, it definitely is not possible.

I think love is more possible OTI than irl. I don't know if this has been mentioned before, because tryin to read earlier posts got boring with jon and thread-maker-person(idk you) goin at it, but anyways IRL you can get distracted with more physical aspects of a person. While online all you have is the personality traits. They may share pictures and GNOC and all that but in the end I'm not being blinded by the more carnal instincts that can come along with the easier girls.

And I'm not sure if this was like IN LOVE or the more platonic meaning. But as far as caring for these strangers who you may never meet it isn't so hard to accomplish. You actually get to know these people because all that you have to pass the time is talkin and sharing experiences and such.

In love... Idk Certain chemistries are just as important as actual common interests irl relationships so thats where it gets tricky. So there I'm gonna say more no.

It's a shame that the Islanders only offer baseball/basketball. Would have been a great school to attend.

With these types of sites, it's definitely not ALL personality at all. Even trading photos (lol@gnoc by the way) would make someone more likely to talk to the other again if they found 'em attractive ... yea?

Agreed.

However, the aspect of physical contact is minimal. Therefore, the chance of the relationship being founded more on personality and interaction rather than physical touch and presence is higher.

The tendency is for people to be more closed minded OTI than IRL because people can be read easier if you're dealing in face-to-face matters. On the other hand, it is easier to converse and interact without the pressure of being face to face.

Relationships are easier to rationalize if you're just a face on the other side of the monitor. Once you escape the rationalization, then it should be easy to meet up with them and enjoy the physical parts of the relationship.

I think the whole "you get distracted by the physical aspects of a person IRL" thing is kind of a lame statement in general.

+ I do think, generally, that personality is what keeps the conversations going.

I don't necessarily think it's lame, per se. I think it's overrated but it holds true more often than not. Personality is there once you get over the physical aspect. You won't have a great conversation of a man is staring at a woman's chest.

A guy can be staring at a photo of a girl's chest in a window right next to window where he's chatting to her. Ehhh.

I think a lot of it comes down to the individual and their personal beliefs. I find emotions are easier to dim down and become devoid of online than they ever are in you "real life".
If you wish to find love online I'm sure you could and if you have no craving then you'll see it as a sham.
When you're not interacting on a personal level it's much easier to come off as someone else and as such the person you "love" may not even exist.

All in all I choose to stay on the fence, I wouldn't go searching for love online, but if it hit me in the face then why not try?

as i have seen in other posts, i feel that if you get to know someone over the internet without the preasure of their physical appearance and trying to come up with a stuipid pick up line at some mall or something, i think that you could establish a foundation for a good relationship. it helps eachother grow together without the aspect of say the sexual thoughts between eachother and having that on there mind the entire time they are together instead of trying to get to know eachother.
