Simplified question would be why would under-par society seen women be goddesses on the internet, but just "...if I'm drunk" irl, correct?
People on the internet are lonely and more often than not have more imagination than the average person. Especially on a site like FFXIAH (lolreally!) people here have played a MMO for a long time. I think you need to have some kind of imagination to play a MMO like this.
THAT being established, lonely and imagination are thrown out on the table. Women also know, there are A HUGE LOT less few women on the internet willing to talk to internet men who aren't pay for hire, or in a porno. So internet men standards are lowered by a rediculous amount.
Now, leading to the whole point of pointing those out. Loneliness is very, very, very depressing and when you're in this state, any form of companionship is welcomed with open arms. Combine lonliness with a bit of imagination, and you quite possibly will be left with the thought of maybe having a chance to meet this girl. And since chances are you met this girl on a shared hobby, such as FFXI, you have things in common.
Maybe this girl can end my loneliness. Even if she isn't a supermodel blonde with a D cup, or doesn't have pearly whites and has a bit of an attitude (which is likely since the guy is NOT the only person thinking this and leading to this next part). So maybe if I stroke her ego and make her feel good, make her think she has no faults and can accept mine, this can work.
That answer your question or did I read it wrong?
