Yea, that’d work obviously, but it limits the pool to people I know personally online. The probability of that AND them being close enough AND them wanting to do a visit/project like that is low enough that it seems unlikely to ever happen.
And what about any of those things can’t they do at home? Perhaps you’re operating under the assumption that I am interesting or useful in any way?

Humans are social animals. They like being around other humans. Ook ook. That’s really all that’s necessary, aside from being socially compatible. Unless you have some condition that makes you significantly worse at face-to-face interactions, people who like you online will probably like you face-to-face.
This is highly counterintuitive to me, but it’s worth a shot and asking shouldn’t hurt. Thanks. Still have no idea how to find anyone who lives close enough and might be interested thou.
Extraverts are weird like that. It’s generally counter-intuitive to introverts, but observably true in many (possibly most, depending on how you account for selection bias) cases anyway.
I don’t see quite how introversion or extroversion is relevant to this. I don’t see why they’d expect the quality of social interaction to be higher quality than some random neighbour within walking distance.
The same reason you’d prefer to talk to them online, rather than some random person off AOL—you’re someone who shares interests and has the intelligence required to follow what they’re talking about.

… Ooooooooh, NOW I get it. And feel like an idiot.
