this is an excellent thread adam. it's been very interesting to read everyone's thoughts. and i have to agree with most - it's all about the connection. haven't we all met someone who might be "oridinary" by the physical standards but become more beautiful as we get to know him or her?

i had this discussion with someone after reading this thread and i was of the mind that sometimes on-line gives people the courage to present a false face. but those people are weeded out quite quickly. on-line gives people the courage to open themselves to all kinds of possibilities that might not occur in real life....those connections are special and the more you connect, the more attractive that person becomes.

i always say look out for the quiet ones....sometimes the stereotypical bad boys are overcompensating for something lacking by presenting a "bad" exterior! those quiet, smart guys always have something special lurking in their heads....
