I am 38 years old and don't consider myself old at all, But I feel as though I am out of touch with the way people chat with each other on here. I don't know if that makes me old-fashion or what. I'm a pretty bold, forthright person in my every-day life but there's somethings that just seems too bold.
Question # 1: Are people this bold because they are in the safety of thier own homes ?
Question # 2: Is everyone living out an alter-ego fantasy thing on here?
Question # 3 Why do I feel as though most of what I see here is not real?

Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

Trust your gut Dude.
1.Yes
2.Yes
3.50/50

i can only answer for myself...i am me here and the same in the real world

That pretty much sums it up

#1 - I am not bold, I just speak my mind respectfully and also type that way
#2 - my alter ego is Inga, she's from Sweden
#3 - dont go the negative route, stay positive until proven otherwise, there are lots of great people on these forums and an occassional jerk, but like everywhere. just stay positive - good luck

Yep this is me pretty sarcastic some times.

My answer is who I am on here..is who I am in person..I don't pretend to be somene I'm not..I don't see the point in that why be fake..when I can be the fun real me!

I do think there are some people who do tend to be a lil more bold because they are in the security of their house and not face to face with someone. I think some also are living out the alter-ego thing,and i'm not sure why you see things as mostly not real,just try keeping your mind a lil more open..and you will begin to see the truth.

1. More than likely with some people

2. Not me

3. I don't know

Question # 3 Why do I feel as though most of what I see here is not real?

What are you seeing that doesn't feel real to you?


Hmmm...maybe our silly photos help with that one.

#1...Im the same way here and in person..Just me take it or leave it..
#2...No
#3...Maybe because you just joined and havent realy gotten to know anyone yet...

Thank you for an honest answer. and I will keep an open mind.

1. Not in my case, I am actually kinder and more considerate on here, given I do not know people that well.

2. No alter ego for me, my imagination is not that good

3. I keep this at the level of a cocktail party, meeting folks and chatting, I do not take it any deeper than that. So people can be fake just as in real life and some people will be real, it is not much different from real life at that level anyway.

Just take things slowly and enjoy yourself, there are some great people on here.
