I agree that real face to face connection is the best for many cases, but is a luxury nowadays and doesn't work for all.

Yeah and this group tries to make it less of a luxury and more of a regular thing. Thats is what we should strive for.

I really do think that our body has a different physical reaction to being close with others. We are monkeys, basically. Lonely monkeys dont do well.

100%. There are many biological processes that create bonding through physical proximity and touch. You may make great friends online but the physical component can't be ignored.
