From about 7th grade on, I always admired and was attracted to intelligent, confident, competant women....it IS more work to deal with another person who has opinions and directions and 'depth'...especially when you ALSO are dealing with 'hormonal' responses and such...but it has always been more rewarding...(though some of the process has been scary at times)....

The thing about the internet is that you get MORE information about another person in some ways, and less in others...I have talked to a few people who simply can't see someone they know only in 'print' as real...and some people really do not project a 'persona' when they type...but, lets face it..people used to write and fall in love by letters when it was weeks or months between contact...so it is perfectly understandable that serious relationships CAN happen in this new medium...Care must be taken...but so must it in real life.
