I'm not sure what to call this idea, for now I'm calling it "The Medium-Bias Dilemma" and it runs something like this:

You seek the company of a person with like-minded interests and humor. You go to a website like Meetup.com or Okcupid or Omegle or 4chan. You soon realize that the kind of person who would use websites like these are not the kind of people with whom you'd have much affinity due to the very implications that go along with being a person who frequents these places. You realize there are no mediums of communication on the internet capable of linking yourself with like-minded people because the bias inherent in using such mediums contradict your own style of life or your own inner nature / personality. You are left in a void of human interaction in terms of outlets. Bars and other federally approved human-interaction facilities also have this inherent medium-bias. The kind of people who go to bars are not the kind of people I'd want to be friends with. The people whom I likely share affinity with are also the kind of people who would never use any of the available mediums of interaction to find peers. They are alone and active in their creative life, too busy doing what they love to crave friendship, and likely find comrades in life via attracting like-minded people to themselves through putting their creativity into the public sphere. The only option left to such a person is to engage fully in his work and never bother with these places ever again. I understand this bias and yet the loneliness is too much for me to bear and so here i am.

Can we discuss this idea? Does anyone else share this feeling?
