How different are you

[MissTillyFlop]

In real life? I'm asking because I have done I think 6 forum rides to date and with only a couple of exceptions I have been surprised by the reality compared to the online persona. As a for instance. one person chats away on here and is quiet as a mouse in real life.
Do we tend to think we are the same in reality as we are on here? I think I am the same but not for me to judge.

I am not a bull in a china shop megamouth in real life (unless you give me four and a half pints of Fruli...).

So why are some so very different on here? No one to censor them [relatively], fight in safety, very shy normally, poor social life / live in the middle of nowhere, funny colour [Marinyork, thank you], what?

What's more interesting, if you ask me, is that it could possibly be supposed that a combination of an avatar and a series of posts on tinternet could somehow be "the same" as a flesh-and-blood human being.

Yes and no, I like many others think I am about the same, perhaps I am being a bit too simplistic and it's quite normal to have an alter ego. What I want to know is why would you want one? A bit like Colin posted earlier, albeit a physical description of someone who wanted to impress a member of the opposite sex.

I suspect that some of the people on here don't actually exist in real life.

Coming to this one a bit late...been a bit lax on the posting front lately so newbies probably won't be aware of the rather offbeat and cheeky humour I can sometimes have. I hope to think I am the same on here as IRL as I can't be arsed with all that smoke and mirrors bollocks and having nothing to hide.

I've met a whole load of CCers...now if you want me to dish the dirt...

I am a man.

 

[ComedyPilot]

Everyone I've met is as I have found them on here.

There are a couple of people on here who I would not want to meet irl as they get my hackles up enough on a forum.And yet if we were to meet there is every chance they would be nice enough peeps.I dont even tend to post on threads they involve themselves in as the urge to tell them to stfu would be too strong

 

[ComedyPilot]

There are a number of young ladies on here I'd love to get my hands on meet for a coffee/cake/ride.

Do tell, might start a virtual punch up cos the helmet thread isn't up to much.

I am just me. The only difference to the real life me is a) i dont wear a pointy hat and wiggle my naked bum around (not in public anyway.....)
and b) I am quiet until I get to know someone.

What? No hat?

I've met plenty of CC'ers now and most are nothing like the mental image I had of them.
Yet to meet any I wouldn't want to ride with again though (well maybe 1)
