VC - I don't think that people here are NOT trying to find partners so much as well, I don't think I want to put words in other people's mouths, but it has to do with being comfortable with ourselves or something...

I didn't mean to imply that people here weren't searching too, just...maybe that it's less often the primary objective for each post?

What is it that you think correlates being comfortable with ourselves and posting on a messageboard, as opposed to using the other side? It's an interesting POV, but I'm not sure I can quite make it fit in my head.

I don't really have it quite in my head either (and at 2 a.m. I'm just not quite right in the head in general... did that come out right? Anyway)... But it's like... the difference between going on a one on one date and going on a group date - with the group date, you're more likely (well I am anyway) to be yourself. You are there to have fun and to enjoy each other - all the folks... on a one on one one date... it's like a job interview.

Take what I'm saying right now with a pinch of salt since I need to get to bed, but that's what came to mind.

Yeah, I can see that - so the environment dictates the behaviour.

I hope you manage to get some decent sleep

I don't believe in internet people. You're all just little bits of text that sporadically appear, there's no real human being behind any of it.

VC is real, I've personally verified that, but the rest of you aren't.

You've met RCdc too, at the LAM - you were a bit out of it that day, though, you might not have registered that they were from CM.

And yes, frazzle, your laugh is that bad! :p

I've never met any of the forums regulars from CM nor have I actually met anyone as a result of CM but I do know quite a few local folks who are members of the site. None of them has ever posted in the forums to my knowledge. my instinct is that people who might meet me in person would find me more palatable in real life. It's not that I am any less harsh or sarcastic in real life... it's just that all of that is tempered by my boyish good looks.

Who've you met from the forums, and where they how you thought they'd be?

Kind of like a re-run/update of WyldHrt's thread about who's met who, but with an emphasis on whether they were the same online and off.

I'm waiting on an official ruling about the *real* list.  In the meantime, I'm going to type.

As I said earlier, I'm going with 98%.  I've been so glad for these opportunities.  Sometimes I met folks and then realized they had CM accounts and sometimes I met them here first.  By and large, these folks have added wonderful memories to My life.

KinkMasterDave.  This man was the general DM for 1763 for five years.  This is also the man who gave Me My cover.  I don't think I've ever met anyone to date who is so giving and compassionate.  He is just as fun in person as he's ever been here.  A thousand times more so.

Archer and Elegant.  Archer actually has a bit of a shy side, but talking with him is an experience.  I am always in awe of him.  He's not afraid of his opinion.  Sit and talk with him.  You won't go away disappointed.

Wyldhart.  You folks just don't know how wonderful she is.  This little taste you get on the boards just isn't enough.  From the inside out, she is beauty defined in My eyes.  My life is richer because she has been in it.

Calichick.  That sense of humor?  Yeah, she has it!  She is totally fun.

MsK and boijen.  Completely the same.  Talk about a firecracker who is a service type. 

Leadership527.  No surprise.  They really are completely in love with each other.  He leads, she follows.  Together, they are beauty in motion, without even trying to be.

OttersSwim and SthrnCmfrt.  Awesome people.  We stayed at Thunder a couple of years back just to be in their company.  The kindness and patience that they display on these boards is the real McCoy. 

SimplyMichael.  He's really not a bad guy.  We're not ever going to agree on certain things, but he'll listen.  It's not as bad as some folks might think.

There are literally scores of others and some I can't mention due to rules.  I have fond memories of so many and can't wait to meet dozens more.  Just wait until I get to England.
