Mouse clicking can get your love life clicking, according to a British psychologist. He says cybercourting can really lead to true love because each person already knows the other pretty well before they meet face-to-face. That makes the transition from the chat room to the living room much easier and brings more depth to the relationship table. Another advantage to virtual mackin'? The psych says guys are more emotionally honest and open when they're online while women are more overtly sexual. Basically, guys and gals act abnormally honest over the Net. >> CLICK: Reuters http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&u=/nm/20020318/od_nm/arrow_dc_1 __________________________________________________________ *********************SEARCH400 CONTACTS******************* MICHELLE DAVIDSON, site editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send us your story ideas and best practices.
