dude. Im not on some random message board proclaiming my deep admiration for someone and saying what a great person they are that I have NEVER met, and only know the person they say they are.
Again, actually meeting someone, knowing them for 5 or 6 years is far different than never meeting them and only knowing what they tell you.
For example, I know if they are clean and have good hygiene. I know if they are respectful or if they are pushy. I know if they are professional or if they are not. I know if they are a good fuck or if they aren't. Same goes for the girls. I know who has a smelly kooch and I know who has stinky feet and who is nice and who shows up on set in last nights clothing.
I also know who shows up fucked up and who is sober and treats the job like a career not a lifestyle. Those are all advantages of actually meeting someone as opposed to online inter-action only with an assumed name.
Your comparison is stupid.
