Who are you online?

[Paper Hearts]

Oh, stop. I'm nice to anyone who likes The Smiths.

Well, okay, there are some exceptions... but that's because they've given me plenty of other reasons not to care much for them.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Such as thier haveing an aversion to the Smiths, like we talked about. -I once met a young waiter from Manchester who never heard of them or Morrissey and so i didn't tip him.

i saw you last week, but didn't say hi, i didn't realize how tall you were.

tall chicks intimidate me :blushing

[LuluVox]

What??!? How can you be from Manchester and not know who Morrissey is?? I mean, even hating him is better than not knowing who he is at all. Ugh. Hm, let's see... I've once taken someone off of my livejournal friends list for not liking Morrissey, and also really regretted sleeping with someone when, the next morning while still in bed, he said, "I don't like Morrissey... he seems a little gay." I asked to be taken home and haven't spoken to him since!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[Troy Spiral (13)]

troy says online i am "quiet"..

and describing me is like 5 blind men trying to describe an elephant.. one blind man is noticing the hard feet.. one the warm mouth and teeth...

hehehe

i am online how i am irl.

on here, i respond i dont so much start conversations...

i am that way irl, also...

i like to listen to others first... and then i add my perspective after i have listened to theirs..

everyone has something to say, and they probably more often go unheard so i like to try to give others voice first..

(troy says "reserved" is a better word for me on here)

i am/have been known to be wild and bouncy and giggly and a bit of a "playfight-instigator" as well...

She comes off as being "nice and friendly" online. She comes off as "awesome" in real life. Theres the difference.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

I myself am much, much more "polltically incorrect", flurty and more prone to being a wise-ass in real life than online. =)

[LuluVox]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Well, so was that!

I dig tall chicks..too much for my own good, perhaps. :woot:

[Brenda Starrr]

Back to the actual topic.....

Seriously. What I said above applies. What you see here is what you will see when I come up. I don't believe in bs-ing people. I'm me, no matter where I am. I don't put on airs. If I say something here, I will say it in person. Be afraid.....

[Fierce Critter]

Doesn't that openness, especially with other guys, drive your husband nuts?

If not, he's a stronger man than me (& my own husband) when it comes to jealousy.

That's one reason you never see me being flirtatious on the board. I wouldn't - couldn't - do that IRL, so I don't do it here. It would piss Jon off bigtime.

[Brenda Starrr]

He's not the jealous kind. He's very secure and knows how I feel for him. He actually thinks it's cool if other people find me attractive. Personally, I don't actually see a bunch of guys finding me attractive. I'm very serious. I'm more like one of them. Wayne is a flirt as well. It doesn't bother me. I think it's cool that others find him attractive.I don't know, maybe we're weird like that.

aww.. :tear

i am not all that..

[Vater Araignee]

Which is more to the point that I don't understand the concept of "Xxxx is an asshole online but is really nice face-to-face".

Having that time to think about your response and possibly edit it for tact, yet choosing not to tells me that said person really IS an asshole.

I would tend to think people come off a lot more HONESTLY on the 'net. Expressing feelings & opinions they might not feel comfortable sharing in a face-to-face situation.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Honestly giving me more time to think is giving me more time to let the inner asshole blossom and slash 'em down.

And in RL there is also going "Oh shit this fucker is 6'6" and 300 pound of muscle let the moron be a moron let the moron be a moron let the moron be a moron let the moron be a moron let the moron be a moron let the moron be a moron let the moron be a moron let the moron be a moron let the moron be a moron....."

Yup Yup even I have my limitations I'll only take on 70 lb of muscle more than me no 120

We are not as liberated in RL as OL.

Simple fact I can't stab somebody through the WAN so they will say to me what ever they wanna say

[capuchin]

I've heard this several times, "Xxxx is a real ass online, but face-to-face s/he's completely different." I've also been told that it's impossible for you to be online who you are IRL.

I  think that's utter horseshit. I can't speak for anyone else, but where I'm concerned, what you see is what you get.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've met a lot of people that I talked to online and often they aren't what I expect them to be. Sometimes I like them better IRL than online, but other times they just aren't what I expected...I think most of the time that it isn't because they're being disingenuous online but when we meet people our overall picture is based on a lot more than just the actual content of what they say--their mannerisms, facial expressions, voice (both tone and pitch), etc. all play a role in how we see them. They might say the exact same thing IRL as online but the way they come across is a lot different.

I don't think I'm all that different in person than online, though a number of people I've met from the 'net have told me they were really thrown by my voice because, apparently, I sound like a cartoon character when I talk

[lullaby1031]

I've thought about this for a little bit and I don't really know how others view me in terms of online v.s RL. I guess I can be shy if I've talked to a person once online but other then that it's never stopped me before from walking up to people and trying to carry on a conversation. I am gullible and sarcastic but not in a shitty way - always joking. Hell, if I felt I could do that more often and not possibly "offend" someone, I'd be more at home. That's the thing though about RL vs. Online cuz what you write and how you intend it to sound, someone eles can read it and imply you ment it in another fashion. I guess it's just easier to meet me and then whomever can decide from that.
