I agree, I do think your last paragraph Ginger is so perfect, that relationships do fail because of expectations from other people and those not being met.
Maybe mine will work, because I did not have any, or maybe that we covered them off, we both know what we expect from our relationship, and from each other... I mean we must have covered them, it never comes up.
Early on it did. But I suppose it was just a shock that we found each other, that we just never really minded the expectations.
Thought provoking Ginger...
I cannot work out whether I am different in real life now or what, I think I am, because I have to be, goodness if I was like this all the time I would be in prison.
Real life, we do things differently, because we can communicate with hands, witha smile and eye contact, here we only have words and that does make a difference.
Out personal choices of lifestyle have more to do with who we are than most people think. What we do in everyday life and who we are, are very closely linked to our preferences for who we can get on with in a partnership.
More so I think than what we can say about ourselves on here...
What the real people? Sorry, I need that explained to me...
If you would not mind.
Hi
I am only here about 6 or 8 weeks but as I said peoples personality comes thru from their postings.
Some people aren't consistent with some of their postings IMO where they may say something to suit the thread whereby contradicting themselves from a different thread.

I have just noticed it a few times.

Thank you Vinny.
Yes, I can see that happening.
But then that does not make them unreal, does it?
I have been guilty of that myself...
Being contrary.
But I can always remember what I write, so that is good.
And alot of people go to threads because of the people that are in it, which is why alot of threads go off topic.
Because people who are friends, will be clumped together.
If I have started a thread, I will remain it, if it getting responses, because I like a good old discussion whilst I wait for the laundry to finish and the man is at the pub.

Sommerauer71: Voyager, I was in that thread earlier, before you posted your brilliant post.
Not sure if you have read it all, but there are some interesting points in there, made by many.
You have made some excellent points here, very much so and again I thank you, for making this a great discussion.
please let me thank you and all those who truly knows the issue of an individual value which some other people try to hide it within a group.
the group is made by individuals as an entity that has its own value to complete the group,, while others who lacks to exist as an entity use the group to come to existence and then they damage the essential thought which created the group in the first place.
this can be reflected on couples too. both must exist to become a group represented as a family but what does break that family is when one or sometimes both starts to eliminate those two or more entities, which made this group in first place, such that they dissolve within one entity to cover their mistakes and deficiency to exist on its own as an entity related to that group.
well, I think am starting to lose it here
i need to retire to bed before i start talking gibberish

Absolutely, and similar mindsets.
I have been dragged up on a golf course, so it was natural that I would marry a man who was a golfer.

I agree, and then there are the ones who don't stand for what they origally say, when their post or thread is picked on, they tend to start agreeing with the other posters to avoid taking a stance....(not directed at you Vinny)
when people allow themselves to be re-directed from where they started , tells me that in real life, they will go with the crowd ( they are not their own man/woman)they are what others want them to be... I can't stand that those people....JMO I have more respect for someone who stands for something, even if I dis-agree with it......

So if I want to live with a beautiful bimbo I should hang out at the Playboy mansion more often to find her?
voyager007: please let me thank you and all those who truly knows the issue of an individual value which some other people try to hide it within a group.
Pleasure, more people do think about an individual now than before, we are more exposed to many more people than ever before, because of the internet, but there is alot of culturising and generalising that exists here and many other places.
In response to:

Herd mentality, or to be really blunt, trophy chasing, or to be really blunt, lack of intelligence.

I agree.

No, I do not think you are losing it, you have made perfect sense.
But I can always remember what I write, so that is good.

But that does not make them or me unreal?
Does it?
Real was probably the wrong term
but in relation to the thread
if you are meeting a person who contradicts themselves
regularily you really don't know what to expect and would have

Sommerauer71: 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.
Hello Sommer..
I am shy until you get to know me..
Yeh i know who would of quess..
Its different when you are sitting behind a computer..you can say anything you wish and wont get a slap in the face
When Eric and I met nothing was of surprise,,
We were who we said we were on here..and the pictures were of recent..
Now we are more used to each other and he probably wishes i was shy again
