Anyone here ever had an online relationship (even one that became real?) What is the validity of an online relationship?
I've never had one. I've only met one person in real life that I've talked to online, and it wasn't really a "meeting." I found his website by doing a search for "Opeth," and turned out he lived near me, so we talked briefly at the show. We talked on IM a bit after that, but it was weird.
Usually I think talking to someone online and then meeting them in person, much less dating someone that way, is kinda sketchy. BUT I think it's definitely different for us on this board because many of us have a certain personality that isn't very common in the world. I don't just mean being Opeth fans, but
thinkers. I have about five friends, only one of which I truly respect, in real life. But I always look forward to conversing with you guys. And I'd love to get together, as was mentioned. Who knows? Maybe the reason I like so many of you is because I know you in such a limited capacity that it doesn't give me a chance to hate you. But I think there's more to it than that -- when I read what some of you write, it's my words exactly. Yet, when I walk around campus, I feel like there's not a single person like me.
My point is, if you're just some teeny bopper who meets some loser in an AOL chatroom, you must have something wrong with you to actually pursue that kind of relationship. But with us, I could see making real friendships.

And women.. time for you to answer this thread as well!
As for what women want -- well, geez, obviously it's different for each woman, all cliches aside. Sure, media puts forth this picture of just wanting money and a big cock, but media also puts forth that everyone loves Britney Spears. And we know that's not true.
It's not rocket science. I personally want a stable guy that challenges me intellectually, someone I respect, someone with common sense...and nice eyes are great too. And I got lucky.
