    I'm probably a lot more attractive on the net than in real life, lol.

    I do chuckle when people say that I'm very 'patient' as this is something I have a real difficulty with in real life.

    Well, Smoldering Wick, your cartoon gave me pause. I would have to amend my answer to state that i'm the same on this discussion board. I don't really go anywhere else that i would express myself.

    ROTFLMAO at Smoldering Wick's cartoon Actually I remember seeing this cartoon about a year ago or so but forgot about it and it was fun to read it again.

    I've been playing on the Internet now for years and realize from experience that people often project themselves to others as they want to see themselves not as they really are. We try to do that in real life as well, except it doesn't work quite as efficently.

    I try to present myself as I am but I find I'm also gradually realizing some of my own conceptualizations of who I am don't always match the person I am in real life. At least I know myself pretty well and my dog still loves me!

    Kind Regards,

    I'm much more guarded and less "talkative" on here than I am in real life. I express myself much better in real life than I do when I write stuff down. I'm much shyer here than I am in person.

    LOL@Sleepy!! Good one.

    Patio--I share your view 100% on the "real view" thing by reading written words. It takes more thought to write words than to speak them so they actually get more consideration, resulting in a more "true" representation of the Actual Person and their view.

    Regards to all,

    Ha! In real life I am even more perfect and charming than I am here.

    I have to agree with Patio as well. I am much more organized in my thoughts here though. Usually at home I have 10 things going on in my mind at one times so I tend to drift. Even my posts reflect this at times, and my thoughts are not understood. I do alot of umm's when I talk due to the fact that my mind wonders. Here when I type I can concentrate on a thought and usually finish it, or come back and finish it later.

    As far as my personality goes, I am the same. What you see is what you get
