What would you do? You have been chatting for a long time,at first casually then it slowley progresses to msn chats,texts and then phonecalls that leave you not wanting to put down the phone. Nothing on webcam or during conversations rings any alarm bells. So,you decide to meet. You have shared a lot of personal information with this person allready,and feel so closely connected that the only think thats got in the way of cementing your relationship is to get down and dirty,but... After a few dates realise that the object of your effections is transgender! Would you punch his lights out? Should i have had it out with him? Should i simply just think "oh well,ive just found another friend"? What would you do ladies/gents?
It has been estimated that only 7% of the written word makes up your take on a person and the rest is perception.In rl and face to face that rises only to about 15% the rest is made up of body language and manorisms,tone of voice and looks. So its litte wonder that online dating produces so few long lasting relationships per the amount of dates it produces.
I think that its easy to misconstrue the contents of the written word. Something said tongue in cheek can be taken very differently.Someone playing devils advokate can easily be read taken as if what they say is what they think on a subject. Wthout the benifits of physical presence and tone of voice so much can be mistaken. Add to that a persons posting style and sense of humour in there written words its very easy to gain a false picture of a poster.
"If i said you had a beautifull body would you hold it against me!?
You think your a women but your only a boy!
