In the article Alexis starts "falling" for Craig within the first few weeks of speaking online, is that even possible? Maybe its just because I am a guy but there is no way I could ever fall for someone based on a series of conversations over the course of a couple weeks. I don't want to sound shallow at all but physical attractiveness is key to a good relationship. If there is no physical attraction then there is no sexual chemistry and what's a healthy good relationship without SEX?
It is proven that married couples that have more sex have a better chance of staying together than couples who don't have sex. In Dr. Bob's question he asked if we thought that couples could exist entirely online and my opinion is NO... Sex is important. Online relationships are good starting points to get to know people and help establish a friendship but to have a romantic relationship and get serious with someone you need to leave the computer and head to the bedroom.

Adam, I've appreciated your "devil's advocate" role! Check out my blog and I think you'll see I agree with you on many points. You know what? Sexual attraction is an important part of a relationship. I don't care how "deep" and "cerebral" you say you are, but if someone's butt-ugly, you're not going to be interested. Online connections are a great thing but only if they lead to face-to-face contact.
