Guys are all about the visual. Well, I am anyway. I lived 15 hours or more away from my GF for a full year, and our only contact was the phone which we used every night for hours on end. She wanted to talk to me every day, for at least an hour, and I grew to hating that phone. We would just sit, in silence, because we had nothing to talk about anymore, but we didn't want to hang up because we just wanted to be with each other....
I needed to see her, to touch her, to kiss her. Talking was nice, but after having already had physical contact with her it was hard to just have conversation as our only means of contact. From what I gather, women view conversation as more important than men. If you're equating sexual intimacy with conversation, that must be the case. I did not feel that strongly attached to our talks, although they were nice, and I knew they were important.
Long distance relationships can work. The girls can last longer than the guys because the girls can survive with just the conversation keeping them connected. I think guys have a harder time with long distance relationships because they need more than talk to keep the love alive.
