I think the original intent of this post was merely to see what labels people would put to a situation that they knew only the basics about. More importantly, I think they were also looking for WHY certain labels would be applied by people. More of a study in perception than a cry for an ego boost or validation. I find perceptions and labels fascinating too, especially because they mean different things to different people.
As for how I would identify this person: switch, because of the dom and sub roles in different contexts.
Exactly I was simply curious as to what labels others would put on "my "situation and how they felt about labels. I find labesl in general entertaining and how they change from person to person. I like to try and undersand why people use certain labels and how they react to labels put on them.
Do I care personally what stangers on the net label me as? In truth, I don't care how most people online and r/t label me. I know who and what I am but I am always curious as to how others label me and why. I suppose it is my way of trying to understand labels and more specifically the difference among people even people who are "classed" together by society. If that makes sense.

Ok, I understand. So, I have a question for you. If someone 'mislabels' you.. say they refer to you as a Top when you see yourself as a bottom, would you correct them and explain your viewpoint or do you truly not care if they have label you as they see you rather than as how you see yourself?
