    I come off a lot more serious in here than I do to people in real life. I'm known as a fairly quiet guy but humorous when I get to talking or cracking out adlibs in reaction to what other people say. When I'm in new groups, I am very quiet, very intimidated. But when I'm in familiar groups, I generally end up getting moved to a leadership position, although I never really have any desire for leadership. Very even-tempered. Hardly anyone has ever seen me angry.

    Excellent topic, Lilith.

    I am pretty out-going in real life. I do joke around a lot...and no matter how serious something is, I always manage to slip a joking comment into the conversation.

    I think I come across as kind of bitchy online, though, because of the way that I express myself in written words. I am very knowledgeable about a lot of things...but, you know...sometimes I just like to pass the "heavy" stuff over and just hit a fun topic.

    There's nothing that annoys me more than someone who reads what I write and then tries to condense it to their needs and gets it all wrong. I also get extremely annoyed when someone reads something I write and then gets all defensive about it (Oh, stooping to name calling...blah, blah, blah). It's not personal, and half the time, most of the stuff I write is done out of jest--if you were sitting in front of me, I would be laughing with a comment like, "Don't be so dense" or "Get sex off the brain and listen to me". Online, though, it all completely depends on the mood of the reader. Oh well...I do my best and move on.

    My biggest statement when I was a kid used to annoy the hell out of people as I would say it all the time, "I know that you think you were listening to what I said, but I don't think that what you heard is exactly what I meant." It was always followed by a big laugh and me handing over a q-tip and saying, "Now, as I was saying...listen up this time, ok?"

    Overall, I am fairly laid-back and have a ton of patience...and I like for nothing more than to be outside having fun. It really takes a lot for me to get ANGRY. Only one person has seen me truly angry...and well, he has vowed since then never to do that again...LOL. Other than that, it's all good.

    Wow what a cool topic! I really have no idea how I come across on the board. My friends however tell me I am compassionate, empathetic, friendly, funny and have a heart of gold. My friends tell me that I could never hurt a fly and they are right I have always been a nice person ever since I was a child. They also say I listen very well. I don't know if it is because I have Pisces rising or not but I am effected by peoples moods alot. In fact I can mimic people's moods and without really trying, If someone is quite and introspective I can become that, if they are loud and carefree I can gel with that. I don't really conicously do it I am just really sensitive to other people's moods. Mabey that is why I am good at being a stripper! LOL!

    I know if I went on this stripperfest, I'd be such a lame-o loner. I'd be all by myself not wanting to talk to anyone for more than 5 minutes. I can't stand small talk with strangers. Obviously, I put up with it for work, but it's not me outside of work or the internet.
    There will be people of every type there and so there is no reason for you to not com. Lol...my other online name is dreamloner1.

    Like Rhi, I have mostly long-term friends 13,12,10 and 5-6 years. But there are a lot of people on here that I want to meet. And there are people in chat I've talked to more than a lot of people I see every day.

    It will be a good time!

    I come across much bitchier online than IRL. To deadpan IRL is funny to those who appreciate dry humor. To deadpan online is popularity suicide.

    has anyone ever taken the MBTI? the personality indicator?

    Im an ENTP...once I read up on it I found it was a pretty good hit.

    I took one of those awhile back (I think it was either DW&#039;s or PP&#039;s thread), but I can&#039;t remember if my results are the same. My perceptions have changed quite a bit since then. But, here&#039;s what I came up with...


    Life as an ESTP
    (Extravert, Sensor, Thinker, Perceiver)

    People of this type tend to be: active, adventurous, and impulsive; talkative and curious; casual, adaptive, and free spirited; logical and calm but capable of great humor, fun, and charm; observant and totally present in the moment, literal and practical.

    The most important thing to ESTPs is the freedom to have fun and to fully experience life in the here and now.

    It does help to get a view on ones self doesnt it? Not by others perceptions inasmuch *as it really IS*.

    I additionally found it REALLY helped me understand those closest to me - and that my ways differ greatly from theirs by their very type - some people have different methods of dealing with interaction and what one personality type may deem as one way another may see it completely different not wrong or opposing; JUST DIFFERENT.

    THAT was extremely helpful in understanding how another type copes or reacts if it doesnt mirror your own methods, such as when friends fight or couples especially - it HELPED to know they were dealing with it in THEIR way - gosh that opened my eyes to a greater level of understanding I never had before.

    I learned how to approach areas of concern with those closest to me by presenting it in a way they could work with it.

    That MBTI indicator is well worth the effort of taking it...and I wish I discovered it sooner!

    No I am the tall one with a funny hat! MC is the medium size one with the semi-humorous hat. Madcap&#039;s hat is about as funny as my jokes. My real personality is ironic-self-deprecation if one can find it.

    Very good topic, Lilith

    I think I come across the same way online as I do in person. I don&#039;t speak up a lot, but if I do it means I feel I have something new and significant to contribute (quality vs quantity is a big thing with me). I&#039;m not one to talk just to hear the sound of my voice. Like a lot of you, I also have a dry wit, one of those "had to be there" senses of humor. And I appear distant at first, but once someone is a part of my life, I&#039;m loyal to them.

    I had a discussion similar to this with a friend of mine in Las Vegas (whom I&#039;d met many years prior in the industry; she&#039;s since retired). I told her that I wished I was more like the "me in a strip club" (outwardly friendly, charming, and funny) - she insisted I was, and several other friends insisted it as well. So I guess you can add "own worst critic" to the list

    It is a nice idea for a thread, but I wonder if all the people who have said that they come across about the same online as they do in-person actually know how they are perceived by others in-person.

    One of the real pioneers of the internet, and a very wise man, once said "You see people through their own eyes on the net", and I have found it to be an extremely useful and accurate insight over the decades since. In other words, people can control how they present themselves so completely online that only the aspects of themselves which they recognize and accept appear clearly in their posts. The aspects they want to hide, either consciously or unconsciously, are largely invisible. I have met a fair number of people IRL that I first got to know online, and in almost all cases, there are aspects of their screen personas that are evident in-person too, but there are also major surprises...things one would not have expected based on net interactions alone.

    As for myself, I have noticed that people who know me well often comment on how unusual/odd I am, and the better and longer they know me, the more frequently and vigorously they make that observation. So, I guess I am a bit of an oddball...though I seem perfectly normal to myself, of course.

    Wow in real life? Well alot of friends say i am aggressive. I know i am a bitch at my jobs, honestly. I will not tolerate anyone stepping on MY toes to get my "lifes shot."

    I am told i show a great love for animals and children. I am told i am not a loud mouth, but show my "bitch" side in a way that most don&#039;t even know what i am doing. Whatever that means.

    At home, and in love, i am a pussy cat! I don&#039;t have to "fight" to climb the ladder. I love watching movies while under a blanket in bed with the one i love, and my pets and child with me.

    I consider myself as wealthy as i need to be at this point due to NOT being a push over. That part of the brain shuts down at home!

    Great thread Although I have no idea how I come across on the net. In real life, I am different depending on the situation. Stripping in the club allows a magnified version of me to be seen, with an emphasis on my sensual characteristics. At school I am focused and quiet, wishing to absorb more information. I&#039;m full of extremes the rest of the time...outgoing and reserved, etc. To summarize, I&#039;m an average, quirky, bookish, goth-girl with nice eyes. And untapped passion.

    this is a good question. I&#039;ll answer this in the most honest fashion. i tend to be more aggressive on here than in real. i&#039;m clearly an introvert but that is usually seen as something that is negative rather than positive. writing is important to me as some of you know. it has opened doors where nothing else has. and yes, i plan on posting some of my poems that don&#039;t have any connection to erotica, and will post one at the end of this to show that i do write other types of stuff. i do a lot of reading as most would think that of a writer. i get along better with young people better than those of my own age bracket in the real. generally in the real it takes me a while to open up until i have built a comfort zone. i raised two boys on my own from the ages of 12 and 13 of which could be a little surprising. i&#039;m bi-polar so it does have an effect on the way i think. i hate mainstream even though i have to live in it. that is about it in a nutshell.

    here is the poem i will leave here.

    FOREVER CHANGED
    (short version)

    In my paycheck there’s a small U.S. flag.
    You have to peel the back off slowly,
    Place the flag precisely
    On the window of your car
    Or home.
    I haven’t.
    I hold it in the right pocket
    Of my heavy flannel
    I wear to work everyday.
    No one knows it is near my heart.
    Does it matter how I show my colors?
    ***********
    one more.........

    BOLD

    It is here,
    In the word,
    That vulnerability
    Is what other writers
    Talk about when you lay
    Out your life on paper.

    Even though the reader
    Is left to feel the impact
    Of the poem,
    It is up to me to leave
    It exactly the way I want it
    When it comes to its image.

    The best part comes,
    When the both of us
    Come together as one
    In these discoveries,
    So you can see
    This stand out
    Dark and heavy
    In front of you
    In a boldface manner.
    ***********

    I&#039;m shy.....VERY shy.....PAINFULLY shy. On the net, you get to see what I&#039;d be like if you knew me for a while. I find it easier to talk and assert myself online. I&#039;m not sure why though--I really don&#039;t think it&#039;s an anonymity thing for me. I think what it is is that I&#039;m much better at expressing myself in writing. When I talk, my mouth and brain don&#039;t seem to match up, so I end up fumbling. I don&#039;t want to sound like an idiot or piss anyone off, so I prefer to stay quiet to prevent offending people. It&#039;s that part of me that goes out of the way to make sure that others aren&#039;t inconvenienced by me. I guess I just feel like my pressence annoys and bothers people so I stay as far out to the perimeter as I can. Online though, I can make informed statements about certain things without feeling like I&#039;m butting in. I can say what I want and not be dragged too far into a conversation that I don&#039;t want to be a part of. I can take my time and respond to things at my will instead of making rash decisions and opening up my mouth and saying something I&#039;ll regret. I tend to be hot tempered and I like to argue so it&#039;s good that the internet allows me to cool off and think through things before I have to respond (even though most of the time, I just respond harshly anyway).

    The only thing better about me in person is that you can pick up my sarcasm easier. According to friends, teachers, etc, I make a lot of funny faces when I talk and it cracks people up. Apparently, I&#039;m just really expressive and when you add that to my sarcasm, it makes everything funnier. It&#039;s hard to impose faces into my writing but it doesn&#039;t stop me from trying (yay for emoticons!!!!).

    i don&#039;t know how i&#039;m perceived on line...but i&#039;m severly introverted in real life...i tend not to smile...and i keep to myself...have a lot on my mind most times...some people think i&#039;m mean...based soley on the look they see on my face...one lady said i should be a judge or a lawyer...i thought that was interesting...i have zero tolerance for bullshit...superficialness...game playing etc...earned the title &#039;evilean&#039; because of it...

    so...what do y&#039;all think?...

    Why do some people still have to fight...to get the same opportunities...that are given to others??...

    Look out for self...because noone else will...AND
    The greatest revenge in the world...is success...

    Reclusivness...is a good thing.

    A pair of chance comments got me thinking that this might be an interesting topic. It&#039;s well known that a lot is lost in strictly written communication- verbal inflection, tone, gestures and facial expressions which serve to more fully express your thoughts. Do you think you come across online as different than you are in real life?


    Every site I&#039;ve been on saw me as fearsome in my ascerbic wit and tenaciousness, as well as knowledgeable on a broad range of subjects and opininated as hell. That&#039;s fairly accurate. Velvet, who knows me well IRL, says that I am much more mellow than she anticipated, however. I guess that doesn&#039;t translate well in written words.

    How about you?
    well, you are a Cancer. Notice your Glyph, the "69". notice that the signs are in circle,pointed in different direction. cancer is a contradiction. Warm, nurturing, al things feminine. Ruled by the moon, and susceptable to the Moons constant changing phases. Happy one minute, sobbing the next. Cancer is also a Cardinal sign, which means strength and leadership. Behind and under that tender and soft facade is an iron will and a strength that outlasts most outwardly strong signs.
