How do you guys feel about internet relationships.
The reason behind this question is, I played a MMORPG awhile back and found people were a lot nicer to me when I played a female avatar. A lot of the male avatars tried to flirt with me.

I'm currently playing my cards with Ziggy, Hydro, Rayne, Becca, Mokie, and Mattarat(oh god, I love Mattarat). It's working GREAT!
p.s. are you actually a girl, or are you one of those guys who pretends to be girls to confuse people of the internet?

@aznstoner: Pfft good luck with that. Zo is already called by Hibia, Rayne by Waar, and Mattarat...Hibia again. I'll just keep trying to woo Elle.
Sometimes I play as female avatars too (like in City of Heroes/Villains I make lots of different genders (male/female/robot/monster/alien/whatever) and while not some much on that game I have seen people react as if you're a girl if you have a girl avatar. Sometimes I use that to my advantage and play along with it, sometimes I decide not to, and sometimes I'm seriously creeped out by the person I'm talking to.
As far as internet relationships go...I'd have to say they generally don't work. I've seen people try and fail a few times. I likely only has a chance of success if the people involved intend to quickly make it a rl relationship.

@ aznstoner No I'm not a girl,I wish (jk)
@ Ramsus When I played as a female used to get guys following me everywhere and doing the /flirt thing over and over. (which stopped shortly after I told them I was a guy)
@ kaimax I found it to be quite the educational experience. Might want to try it sometime.
In my defense: I created that avatar because I figured that there are not many women on MMORPGs thus nobody is going to be looking for a relationship on it. So I thought I would be treated like any other player.
P.S. sorry to turn this into a thread about gaming.
P.P.S in effort to salvage this thread anyone with real online relationship experience please share.

I will say no
one of my friends which is a girl is this guys gf over the net. I mean sure they call and talk to each other daily and other crap like that. But how can it work when one he's like 10+ miles away 2 they have never met in person sure you can see picture of someone and say hey your hot but then meet them and be like never mind my mistake.is it so great to be able to say yea i got a gf and when they ask about here you can say oh i'v seen picture of her but have never actually met her. 3 it could all be a lie. 4 how lonely can people get i mean sure i have no gf at the moment but i wont go around asking people on the net to be my gf well maybe if they lived in the same city and not till we have met.

everyone except mokie are real pessimists... call me a hopeless romantic but anything can work, although I agree that real life contact would be required at some point.
and Ramsus, you're damn right, keep your hands off my girl!

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. Internet relationships as in friends is ok in my book. I know I've met some really cool people over the web who I'd like to keep in touch with.
Internet relationships as in girlfriend/boyfriend is where I draw the line. I say, "If you can't hug them, then you aren't boyfriend and girlfriend"

Personally, i don't believe in internet relationships. They seldom work. If one is in such a relationship, then one has to have a lot of dedication and be content with the fact that you will never be able to physically show your love towards you partner(aka sex)not that sex plays a dominant role in any relationship, but i sure as hell know that physical contact does. The only time i've seen such relationships work is when the are not that far apart from each other and can take the time to visit one another.

internet relationship wouldn't work imo,but there's a possibility it could lead to a real-life relationship.
so why not?

Purely an internet relationship, would not, romantically, work. As a stepping stone for a real relationship, as mnx said, I don't see the problem.
Problem is that a lot of people are really creepy online @_@.

LOLI LOVERS AND TENTACLE FIENDS UNITE!!!
*raises hand*
More seriously, I think that online isn't so bad for -possibly- finding someone, but having a purely online relation (talking, cybering and the like) would degrade rather quickly as there is no physical contact, which most humans crave.

Boring girls suck btw, i noticed that you know XD
