know who a person is just by reading their profile and posts?

I think that it is very hard to get to know someone this way. I am greatful that there are new features on CS so I can get to know people better. A one on one conversation with someone can tell you more about them than just reading what they have to say...You never know if they are being serious or joking around...

Absolutely not. You can only get to know a person through exclusive one-on-one conversation. Anything you read in their profile or see them say on a forum is irrelevant.

I wouldn't say that everything said in the forum is irrelevant, I just don't think it is a 100% accurate idea of who they are. Just my opinioncheers

No and not only no......but hell no.

People express only what they want you to see. As I read post, I think, how long did this person think on this to try and impress people with their kind hearted ness and sweetness. I think some on here try too hard to show what nice people they are.

Damn, if everyone was as nice as they portray themselves, the world would be a hell of a lot nicer place to be. Or does CS somehow only attract candy sweet, syrupy peole? Guess I broke through the barrier, somehow!!frustrated

Truer words were never spoken. If you really want to know a person try divorcing them. That will make their true colors shine through!

One and one conversation, still mean very little , because some people know how to go about sweet talking you, telling you what you want to hear. Dating is for to you discover the weed from the dandelionlaugh

No I don't think you can really *know* someone on-line.. even with phone conversations. You might seem to know a fair a bit about them.. you might THINK you know them.. but I don't think you can be sure (or can tell).. until you meet them for real.. where you can see and hear how they interact with you and other people a round them.

Seeing them animated..

Walking talking .. mannerisms.. manners.. gestures.. all of those things I think are virtually impossible to know for real unless you can SEE them for real, and get a more overall picture... that THEN fits or doesn't with what you thought you knew.
