Yes I have/am learning a lot just from reading on the forum here. Some very positive reactions others very negative. Like; now that I read this.........no way would I want that person to be in My life. Yes this forum is very informative, especially when looking for my next mate. Yes much better then a picture.

To a point! Some people don't necessarily tell the truth in the forums as I'm sure you've seen by all the threads. Just have to try to see thru to the "real" people.
Even the forums are not a good barometer for what people really are. People present what they want you to see. I am a prime example of that. I am not what I present here on the forums. I am here to have fun and will argue with a lamp post just for the sake of debate. No one knows the real me...or ever will.
I don't believe anyone's responses on CS, because they respond to things that will put them in a favorable light. Everyone says they show their real feelings, but I seriously doubt it. Not everyone is sweet and nice 100% of the time, yet some would have you think sugar flows through their veins.
Pictures don't tell you anything about the person...but neither do their forum responses

When I see how a persone reacts to some one else post. It gives me some insight into their character. This is not from one observation about this person but after several I draw my conclusions. I can tell the differents when things are send with tongue in cheek. Humerous or.........that is why it takes more than one post or answer to a post to see what I want/need to see.

No...I don't think so! Why are so many disappointed when they finally meet after getting to know each other in the forums?? I am VERY sure, anyone would be shocked to know the real me, after all I have posted in these forums over two years. You see only what I show. But I am a ver private person. And I am sure there are many many more like me. Who present what protects them from people who prey.

I agree with your post.
If I ever said what I really felt on here I'd be banned from this site and probably from the internet for good. Sometimes I just sit back and jsut read rather then get into a stupid arguement that most likely didn't amount to a hill of beans anyway so why should I take things all that personal.
The saying about how a picture says a thousand words isn't always the case.
Just like my father used to say...If something/someone sounds to good to be true they probably are."
