Hey y'all !!

[This keyboard enables me to engage in numerous conversations that I wouldn't be caught dead in, in RL.

There is a side of me that I feel, is growing stronger and taking shape into something more definite by the posts ]

MOST people who are active in the discussion boards here are not anonymous. To a degree, yes. BUT- for the most part, we connect our online reputation with a face to face meeting at some point. You cannot in any way compare this to say - 4chan or any REAL forum where you can maintain more anonymity.

Shit, I have split personalities over dinner. Don't need a forum to fuel that.

Could it be an internet based personality split or just an extension of an internal personality that is untethered and released to express itself without the RL suppression mechanisms (aka conscience)? In time, the real you invades your internet persona even when you try to hold it back (human nature being what it is). The people here I've met in person, I enjoyed immensely. Only subtle differences to their posting styles versus their RL attitudes, intelligence and beauty.

From what I see, the internet enables the inner you or slanted version (mask) of yourself to go on either as an extension of you (true feelings) or as a sock-puppet joke/tool (either for fun or nefarious purpose to hide yourself).

For example, we've seen quite a bit of targeted sock-puppetry lately here on the boards lately haven't we? Generally, those who seek the second (nefarious option) for their sock-puppet persona are sad lonely individuals usually haunted with a touch of self-loathing and jealousy to motivate their external anger (targeted activities). I admit I do find that phenomena is interesting to watch play itself out.

But to sum it up, I can assure you of one internet truth: the real me is me when I desire me to be.

Have fun muffo.. don't overthink it!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa...I got busted in chat yesterday by my SO. I closed the link before she could see what it was.

I told her it was a men's forum where guys discuss guy shit. She was mad and tried to go back thru the history to find the link (these bitches know more about computers than they let on). But I'm always on private browser.

We argued a little about it. But I told her, "Look, I don't have any friends around here and I don't go out. I need to be able to talk like a fucking man sometimes and not just 'hubby' and 'daddy'".

That actually worked. But probably because she's never had to hear a cross word about me in the streets.

That said, I say yes and no on the split personality thing. The Str8 you get on here is how I am in my RL, except I talk about pussy more here. That would be the only difference.

My girlfriend doesn't think so.

This is one place where being a little slutty is accepted with open arms

Sometimes i say things in the outside world,where I would get
"the look" LOL..
oh well.. cant win them all!
