It is so easy to misunderstand emails/messages and Threads post. It is hard enough to be understood when we are face-to-face. I know many people write me once or twice then want to talk on the phone right away because they feel this way. So I believe we are all different in this internet dating world. Maybe some more than others and some less.

In real life I am really this fantastic, great, good looking, perfect man! rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Here I guess I am just a humble person seeking my soul mate. Anybody want to kiss thi frog to turn him into a prince?kiss

HJFinAZ: 80-90% of what I post in forums is like I Ivory Snow, 99.44% BS....

I am so honest in person it scares the hell out of people and they run. If it looks like BS (in real life), I will say it is BS. I don't do that to harm anyone, I do it because a wonderful man and a few others did for me. It allowed me to change. I can assure all, I have been places in life they would dare not go.

So many are "looking" for love, I AM loved.
So many are looking for another to complete them, I AM complete, a whole entity.
So many are looking for their better half,I want an equal.

I has been "MY" experience, people are afraid to face problems. They find it easier to cut and run. Personally, that has been a VERY expensive experience for me.

Long ago, a very dear friend told me that if you really want to find out who/what someone is, share a roof with them.

thumbs up Well said, and I hope your having a good time while your away. I would love to have been able to listen.

In response to: Represent who we are in life?

I ask this because it has been something that since meeting with PPV, we have discussed.

I look like my pictures, coz they are me, he is the same as he portrays here, obviously he talks less than he writes, I mean honestly, most of you saw what he had written.

So, are you quieter, noisier, more shy, face to face than on here?

I have read so many times when people have met that they are not the same as they are online.


I think that although this is a more difficult medium in which to get to know someone, there are often tell-tale giveaways that give us insight into who people really are in real life and what they expect from us.

For instance I recently got an e mail, from a young man who started off by saying that he thought all thin women were skinny bags of bones, young women were scatty, and blondes were vacuous and all looked alike. He apparantly wanted a real woman with a bit of weight on her, mature he called it. He said they were much more "open" and fun.

I sent a reply asking what he really wanted, and after giving him some options from some of the more base things I have been asked on here, told him that I don't do any of those, and........ he stopped mailing.

Funny that, isn't it? Disappeared right into the woodwork like the louse he was......

Now maybe he thought flattery would get him what he wanted, and that older women are desperate enough to fall for it, but to any woman with half a brain he was hiding nothing of his real intentions.

Sometimes we don't need body language......

I have met one woman on this site in person, and I must say there is a bit of awkwardness. I probably was a bit more shy when I did meet her, but I don't believe on here that I am shy. Nor were my correspondences with her of the shy variety. We did have a great time, and though it didn't work out it was a wonderful experience.

I think you just hafta be yourself, and be truthful and honest about what you want in a partner.

I tend to think that the shyness when meeting someone you've been talking with on a site like this stems from wondering if they're going to like you as much in person....and if you're going to like them as much in person. Sometimes it's great...and sometimes it's the biggest let down (been through a few of those myself...lol)

We did video chat for about 6 months, and I highly reccommend it before meeting someone in person. Shyness can also be a defense when faced by someone with a very strong personality. It is taking a step back to see if this is the same person you've been talking to for however long??

I'm the same. I think the people who've met me would agree. I would hope so. This is just me in writing.

Ah, yes, those.

Like all the 21 year olds who think us bit older women are all gagging for it...

Given that my son is almost that age, and as I do him, I cook him a casserole and ask him to tell me all about it...

That soon sends them packing.

Yes we know, Mickey, you do not have to keep telling us.

We know you are a nasty piece of work.

But we still love you for it.

That is a very true...we do!!! I can get some great emails from men, and then when I talk to them on the phone, it just seems different...
Sometimes the phone hurts, and then it can help too...I know that sounds crazy, but some men are better at emailing, and some have great phone personalities...
I found at one time, someone sounded awful on the phone, and when I met him, he was dreamyheart beating
If you can meet them with a short email or call, and not relentless back and forth, that is the key..
My problem is finding anyone locally for me.....

Well I've been to a couple of CS meetings (you guess which ones) and I wasn't impressed. The other guys tried hard to act like slick business types---we're talking Los Angeles, not Hicktown---and the women all had that same spiteful grin on their faces. I thought to myself, no wonder eveyone in this room is still single, they just want to play games... so I left early.

Yes, HJ. And that's what I seek. And so, I'm willing to be patient until I truly find it. I need a match to me, an equal partner, not someone who is looking for their "other half".

Words of wisdom from a rune reading the other day, that I'll share here:

True partnership is only achieved by separate and whole beings who retain their separateness even as they unite.

Lovely to hear such a positive report of CS meets.

The short answer is yes. How I express myself online is how I express myself in real life.
