KremaP: People on forums can't hide for long what they really are...plus, minus 15%...and I'm generous... If you pay attention and not being too fast on making assumptions you can be surprised in a bad or nice way... Opinions on different subjects can give a pretty wholesome picture of what you can expect from a certain person, with very, very few exceptions...
As always, KP, a perceptive and balanced contribution. And you say it in MANY FEWER words, than I do. Which is ANOTHER Plus!
annaroach: I would go with a friendly start, as we can't bring aggro to people that we don't know at all and i suppose if we have low expectations, things can only get better , win , win.. Yeah, i might have to give a blind date a chance,,

Posted by DeeDee; Stay away from ring leaders and gang members. If they are like this on here they are like this in real life. People who stand on their own two feet here are not hard to spot Watch those for a while. If you like them...pm....then start from there.
Dont waste your time on idiots, Anna...your too classy and ladylike for that.
Fully agree with this opinion, i would take this as one of the best advice i saw here.
I find some of the schtuff you see on the forums is a lot of bravado and can be misleading.
It's only when you have contact behind the scenes, that their true character emerges.
Just in my experiences with online dating sites.
Hi Berry,, That is what i'm beginning to think as well, It is the bravado that is misleading , Thank you for that , it makes sense, when you put it like that.

Yes , Deedee, says it like it is, she has a good head on her shoulders
It very much depends on what you want to see in a certain person... You can be easily mislead by your own imagination and expectations and that is not the person's in question fault...

That may be.....though both parties will only have a clearer picture once communications are taken offline.
Forums are not ideal places to judge a person's true character IMO.

You are incorrect P. Perhaps you should give people more credit for what they can see in you here on CS. That caring, sensitive, moral man clearly shows through in your postings.

I do remember Pete, and i believe you, and i'm quite sure you are loving and sensitive , i won't judge you for one.
Some people have a tendency to "hide" or "overstate" their personality traits in a virtual life.
You can't beat real life for revealing all......in more ways than one....
That was a joke Berry, and yet it's not very difficult to spot the people who overstate or hide their personality traits...that's what I meant all along...
