3. So you say that people develop relationships faster online because of the ease of being able to be yourself and feel comfortable asking questions, but what about the time that it takes for responses, interactions and such? Can't people interact faster and receive quicker results if they are in a face-to-face relationship?
A: Accoding to John Suler's psychology of cyberspace, touch has a lot to do with forming a relationship. He brings up another issue that many people do not consider. Suler suggested that you should not underestimate the impact of a handshake, pat on the back, hug, or kiss. These forms of touch play a big role in forming a relationship and taking it to the next level that it seems that face-to-face relationships would be able to form quicker in a face-to-face relationship. But how many time have you heard of a relationship being over because the beginning was all based on physical action and the friendship formation was never given time to take place. These are all factors that should be taken into consideration.

4. They say that online relationships are better because people get to meet the real you and judge you as a person before they see how you look physically, but what happens when they are not physically attractive to you and now you are not sexually attracted to them despite how you feel about them as a person?
A: According to a study done by Kristin R. Tubre both men and women had the same results when it came to choosing personality vs. looks in a relationship. Although both men and women stated that if an individual was unattracted but had a good personality the majority said they would not date them, they also said that if the individual was attractive but did not have a good personality, they still wouldn't date them. I have personally found that people would prefer an average looking individual with a good personality vs. an extremely good looking individual with a bad personality.
