Does how you come across on boards reflect how you are in reality?

steddyeddy

Sometimes I think my boards persona is how I am in life but other times I come across as more of a d1ck than I really am! Do you think your boards persona reflects who you are in real life?

Biggins

Yes.

kfallon

Steady there Eddie........steady!!!

But to answer your question probably yes

aaronjumper

That's what everyone says. "I'm really a nice person in real life!".
I am not going to fall for that old trick, you clever trickster

AnamGlas

It most certainly does, my dear chap.

20k posts vs "doesn't talk"

yeah, totally


...other than that yeah pretty much

Freddie59

Yes. 100%.

westendgirlie

Yep, I'm a crap speler in reel life too

im invisible

yeah, im a thanks whore in real life too...

The King of Moo

I'm a little more vocal and direct on here, and in real life I'm a lot less regal, but apart from that I'm pretty much the same.

Gee Bag

In real life I'm a bit taller and I have a side parting

hoodwinked

Probably not,


to be fair i use hand gestures alot and get misinterpreted less in real life!



oh and i don't look like an animaniac!

Bloody Nipples

I'm a sentient computer program so no.

I live life in the fast lane of the information superhighway! :cool:

xsiborg

Joey the lips

I like arguing about things and IRL people don't argue so much with me. obviously because they know I'll always win. It's only a matter of time though before the good denizens of boards realise that I'm always right, and then my online reality will mirror my offline reality!

Canis Lupus

Pretty different alright. Depends on the forum.

steddyeddy

Well they say never talk about religion or politics in concersation. You never know who your going to offend so It makes sense that some people come across as d1cks in those forums more!

And you would have gotten away with it too if it wasnt for those meddling kids!

I nearly missread that as you accusing me of meddling with kids :eek:

Oranage2

Im funnier in real life - boards just doesn't pick up on my quick wit and hideously accurate social satire.

ToddyDoody

Is this tread any good? You'd have to meet the person and decide for yourself... I dunno. Not as daring with the 'smart' comments in real life - it only annoys / confuses

Thank god you read it again, that could have led the discussion
into some very awkward areas

stovelid

Probably a bit more narky and sarcastic in real life.

Napper Hawkins

I'm a lot taller in real life.

Dudess

Not really - I get into arguing matches with people here whom I (thankfully) wouldn't know in real life. Ergo I'm not as argumentative in real life.

I totally blast people with piss in real life...


Ha me saying that doesn't work in AH let alone in real life. I don't post enough yet I suppose to know if I'm the same. Although I do read a lot of posts and think " you f**king spa" but don't post it. I'd probably say it in real life though

AnonoBoy

In real life I'm charming, witty and popular.

So no.

Chuck Stone

Not far off I'd say. Maybe a little more carefull with my opinions until I get to know people.

Nah. You're a bit of a bollix in real life too :pac:




Yeah, I'm the same on / offline. Having met quite a few people from boards, it's always interesting to hear how they've perceived you before talking to you.

The Snipe

I'm a lot smarter person, and can explain things a lot easier in real life; because I can use the proper words.. Damned dyslexia!

wolfpawnat

I am almost the exact same, bit more shy.

I have been told I don't look like what the imagined though!

You don't have hooves and a cute little bushy tail!? (Avatar)

Or big paws!? (username)

:pac:

Novella

I dunno. I'm not exactly sure how I come across. Sometimes when I read older posts of mine, I think, "Wow, you're an idiot" so I sort of hate that while I can change IRL and no one particularly notices 'cause they're changing too and it's just tiny day to day things, on here I have a trail of evidence.

I guess what I post reflects how I am in that moment.

Would you argue with those people if you did meet them in real life and whatever random topic it was came up?

I think I'm pretty similar in real life, just a bit less serious than on here.

silvine

I dunno, here's a pic of what I look like...

johngalway

Yep, if ya don't like me here, ya won't like me there

orourkeda

Sometimes it does.

Sometimes it doesnt.

It very much depends on the topic being discussed

I am indeed yore ma in real life

stupidusername

I've no idea what way I come off in here. people don't seem terribly surprised by me IRL though, I don't think. the only thing I've had people actually say to me is that i'm better looking in person, but that's it. I don't suppose they'd offer up more than that though.

hmmm, yeah I suppose you are. but it's not like you're serious everywhere on boards, you're suitably serious

Kevin Duffy

Hmmm....I don't know. I'd be curious to know how the few boardsies who've met me or have become FB friends would answer that.

Actually, not curious, more nervous.

Actually, not nervous, more terrified.

Ok, forget I said anything.

It's hard to say, other than that I always try to speak my mind here and be true to my beliefs and values.

Also I have no moustache and less hair than my avatar.

I have a clone that I get to post on here for me. He's in the toilet now so I can use this time to ask, I hope he has been a valuable and entertaining source of information or there'll be killin's! :mad:

Yep.

Hmmm!

On here I'm 20 years old, tall, long legs, great boobs and stunning!

In reality I'm 23 years older than 20, not so tall!

So the answer is yes

Gummy Panda

Yes I'm a playful bear

What is this ''real life'' you speak of?
