Men often have a one track mind, and many women appear quite similar, guarded, and commonly describe Superman as the type of guy they would most like to meet. If Superman is out there, he won't be surfing the net as he will have been snagged by SuperWoman. There is some good news. Chat rooms do serve a purpose in that they allow you to meet people that you would normally never come in contact with. Not only from across the world but within the United States as well.
People are often more willing to talk about themselves over the screen, than they are in person.
Because words are often all that can be seen, the feelings and thoughts expressed are open to the interpretation of the recipient. How a person receives a message might be at odds with the intent in which it was written. What's missing from the interpretation phase are intonation patterns. Depending on where the emphasis is placed it may be a simple statement, a polite rebuff or somewhere in between. If you decide to meet in person, do so in a very public place at an active time of day and take along a friend.
