    I find it consistently entertaining that everyone that I talk to on this matter "knows this guy who's short and ugly but doing fine" but I've never actually met that guy before. Maybe these guys you refer to have more going on than meets the eye. It's like going to the deep south in the 50s and being like "racism isn't a problem I know this one guy who's black etc etc".

    The problem goes so far beyond not being able to find a partner, I just want to be treated like a human being for a start. Like that's it, that's all I want, I want to be able to walk down the street without people fucking grimacing at me like I'm some sort of rabid beast that got let out of its cage, if I could have just that then I wouldn't be here because I'd be content enough to move forward in life, but as of right now I see literally no point in continuing, if everyone's just going to assume the worst about me because of the way my skull looks it's much harder for me to win people over with "personality" (which I have obviously managed, but I have to put in a lot more mental effort than 90% of men would), it will be harder for me to be respected anywhere I go, for what? Some guy who was born with the right face walks in and immediately gets more love than I ever did in my life just for existing, and invalidates all my hard work. Fuck that.

      Yeah, they created a connection probably without knowing how they looked like. Thanks to the mmorpg creating a situation where they are forced to spend time together. But not only is that rare, there are many horror stories from people who met online.

      There are also many examples given of people spending months or years connecting online. Only for the woman to either leave immediately, sometimes not even making contact, upon the first real life meeting, and never to be heard again.
