Why do you prefer offline conversations to online?

They satisfy me emotionally on a level online conversations don't. Something in my brain generates a feeling of "a tribe" more intensely.

An offline conversation has a potential to instigate other offline activities. (As an example of what really happened: going together to a gym and having a lecture on "rational" exercising.)

But I agree with what you wrote; online activities also have their advantages. It just seems to me we have too much online, too little offline (at least those who don't live in the Bay Area).
