"AHEM"
It is my personal opinion that the vast majority of furries are partilly drawn to the fandom due to their feelings of secludedness in 'normal'(1) human society. Due to this many of us work very hard to find acceptence, through this we become more open to new ideas and feelings, mostly related to lifestyle and relationships. Through this we constantly build contact with others with slightly different opinions and personalities, picking up some new ideas as we go, increasing our social net of experiences. In addition to this we often will look for the good in someone interested in us, this is partially due to our intrest in building relationships and feeling accepted. Between our own growing acceptence of new ideas, and our willingness to look for the good in others, we inevitably find things we like in almost everyone(2). This is a key factor in a relationship, and our ability to generate it causes us to enjoy our relationships more. Unfortunatly due to our primarily meeting on the internet, such relationships are limited and end quickly. This does, however, add something to the longer running relationships, making them more personal and involved as time progresses. Finally there is the inherent playful nature that most(3) furries have, and this helps keep relationships from turning into a system of work, an unfortunate result of many non-fur(4) relationships.
(1): There is no real 'normal' in human society, but you should understand what is meant by the word.
(2): There are however some people who simply do not get along with others, or irritate even the most open minded.
(3): there are furries who are very dry and serious, I am refering to the fandom as a whole, and we are very much associated with fun and playful personalities.
(4): Many fur relationships have this fault as well, however, the ratio is much less when compaired to non-fur relationships.
