SkydiveStMarys 0 #27 February 21, 2006 I think I am about the same...though in person I need to get to know a person before I blurt out some of the things that I would say freely online. In person I tend to take the whole situation in before jumping into a conversation...I hate to look or sound stupid....same really goes for here too..there are many posts I delete 'cause it just doesn't "sound" right... Make me laugh and I am all yours, once that happens I can "give" as well as "take" too. I like to run with the big dogs. I remember the first time I posted LisaMarie replied back to me saying, "I thought you would never stop lurking.".

PLFXpert 0 #29 February 21, 2006 I am as blatant and goofy in person as online. I hide my "home dz" and "last name", etc. due to identity theft.

waltappel 1 #34 February 21, 2006 QuoteQuotesome ladies who have had a few drinks and are in the mood for some man-bashing! Hmmm what sort of bashing do you prefer??? From you, I'm thinkin' getting really personal with it. You know, telling me what a slimeball loser I am, and that sort of thing. I think you could make me feel like the loathesome little worm that I really am. For hanging out with Vertifly, though, I'm thinking the more generic stuff. An ex-SO (before she was an ex) one time gave me an incredibly angry look and proclaimed, "All men lie!!!!". She always had all sorts of bad things to say about men in general, though she occasionally would swear that none of that applied to me--at least not most of the time. I just *know* that Vertifly would have some awesome comebacks to that kind of thing. Me? I just kind of laugh at it or, if it is a friend saying it, know that it is generally in the context of them getting jerked around and being mad about it, so I'll quietly listen and be there for them as a friend. I'm thinking Vertifly wouldn't listen to that shit for a second without some really great comebacks, though, and I'd love to be there for the fun.

Apparently that was asking too much. <---has nearly always been the first to say hello. But, I'm old-fashioned....after "hello", they must do the pursuing! It's been so long though....b/c once I said "Hello" to my hunny....the pursuit was relentless and I'm SO thankfulPaint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Icon134 0 #37 February 21, 2006 I'm more extroverted online then I am in person... especially since I've somewhat established myself in the dz.com comunity. Generally speaking my outside persona is the same only after people get to know me a little (ask jumpchikk about the first time we met and how quiet/reserved I was...) There's no question I'm not the same person... generally speaking once I'm comfortable I'm pretty easy to get to know... (I don't have any secrets, offline or online) I don't know.... what do the people that know me in both environments think?Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

wmw999 2,589 #38 February 21, 2006 I have time to think about what I post, so I probably sound a lot smarter online than in real life. I also suck in confrontations in real life. But I do try to be honest when asked, and sometimes even not when asked if it seems to be called for.

Unless you have dumbed down in the past few years, you sound no less intelligent in person. FWIW, I think you are very much the same in person as you are online, and I think of that as a very good thing. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
