Sadly, I've torpedoed potential relationships because someone is terrible online:

"Yes, she's a great kisser and her boobs are awesome but does she give good email?"

I don't think I could date anyone who was a bad emailer/IM'er.

I suspect my wife depends on my online persona discouraging potential interlopers.

Is "online" a proxy for intelligence/personality or something distinct?

Maybe moira simply likes email and conversations via IM.

It is different from having a good personality in the way being a good writer is different from having a good personality. You can like someone you know, but find their emails boring.

For girl27, it seems to be pretty distinct. See if I ever email pictures to her again.

I winced when I saw that one pulled out of the archives this morning.

Man, if only archives was a euphemism for something.

I checked out her archives, but was unimpressed by their/its small size.

Yes, but not under Ogged. A different firm.

I'm going to be sorry I ever said archives, aren't I?

It was only after I had demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the subjects most important to her and proven my ability to handle rare and precious materials with a certain special care and sensitvity, that I was granted access to her archives.

sorry for all the dust and moldy smell, gentlemen; I spent all day in the archives.

In my case, 5 is totally true, or if not intelligence in particular than at least love of language. What can I say? I want a cute girl with certain (ahem) attributes, i.e. lovely archives, and who is also good at Scrabble.

(Scrabble, sadly, is not a euphemism.)

I hear she makes words out of all the letters on the board.

scoring seven letters sounds like a positive thing.

But using all your letters on the first turn, not as much.

It's all in how you put things in this life.

It's online code for "in bed", aka "cyber".
