agree I have sure gotten to like some people online --you just sort of click (pun intended) and you are together in many ways -- same attitudes, same feelings, you laugh at the same things. I believe that it could be a good basis for a face to face relationship --- but love -- if you fall in love on line you maybe not facing reality like you should.
I think love or lack of love can be a reason for someones success and a lack of love a reason for failure ---
But I think it could be argued that a lack of love could be a driving force to suceed too.
What is success? First it exists in the eye of the beholder and in the mind of the person. I think I am successful --- I actually accomplished alot of the things I set out to accomplish in life. And I am reasonably happy. R

If I can make one person a day smile --Its a good day. I have planned a trip to Morocco, Portugal and Spain in July. I am so looking forward to drinking some good port and being among Europeans.
I have been off and online since Jesus was a little boy ( 1993) and boy have I been scammed a few times. Luckily (why can't I spell when online?) I always had this little acorn of doubt about being loved by someone whom I had never met. Has it changed --heck no --I bet there is some man somewhere right now shelling out dollars or pounds to some Russian or oriental girl who needs money for a visa or needs something and he just can't be nice enough to her. So many promises.
I suppose that some needs are met online and I guess there is a cost to meeting these needs -- even if it is the perfect fantasy.
I don't really believe that there is much of a difference between the reasons why men and why women come online.
Gee -- I wish I had read this thread before I posted you just to say hi. How embarrassing.
I try and talk to all people --age is not really a factor but of course I do prefer people in my own generation. We share common things because of our longer life experiences. Having said that, I am always learning how others think and feel about things I think and feel about --and often there are stark differences.
Anyone should be able to share thoughs and opinions with another person, male or female. If you are talking about a romantic encounter, yes, I can see how a man 2o to 30 years older may be much harder to confide in than one who might be just a few years older.
One of the biggest shocks I received when I moved to the middle east from the west as an expatriot, was the way women were treated and looked on. It seems to often border on misogyny. If Turkish men follow what I have seen in the middle east, then I think you are going to have alot of problem sharing or confiding in them. However, having said all of this, one who is older can teach and can share insights - and these could be valuable in understanding the world around you.

I always find myself a bit tongue tied at talking to a good looking woman but its worse talking to a woman who is a lot smarter than you are - I think with me is that I become over aware of myslef and also there is a bit shyness that I have still not worked out of my system after years of trying. All in, once you get to know them, I find that they are often just the same as other women. I have even met one or two who had trouble finding men because most men found them too attractive and were not willing to risk getting to know them or to ask for a date.
