I'm also less like a shark and more like a bunny :)  This is my place for intellectual discourse, I devour it hungrily.  Offline I'm just a bouncy happy bunny chick going with the flow.

Toughts and ideas yes, pretty much i would suppose unless someone reacts to something i say emotionally because they misunderstand what i say. It is hard at times to convey what we mean completely through text.  Personality - i don't think you can know anyones personality completely or even 50% through online text - there is so much to someones personality that will never really surface through this medium.  i have met my fair share of people and they have told me i match very well their impression of me from knowing me online.

From what i have been told yes, though they say i am quieter then they would have expected.
 
Do you sweeten the pot when you post, chat, cam or phone?

No, there's no point. i don't want to misrepresent myself . If people like me they like me, if not that's ok to.  What do you do if you sweeten this pot and then they find out your a sour bowl of soup real time?

Yes i have, but i think we perhaps have to ask ourselves - how much of what we thoguht we knew about whoever was simply our projecting our own expectations on them, setting ourselves up for disappointment.

I think so. I am probably more reserved upon first meeting me than some might imagine.I am one of those people that can quite comfortably be quietly watching on the sidelines or smack in the middle of the crowd. Just depends on the crowd and my mood.

see above.........in addition, there are many activities and interests that occupy alot of my time that I think might somewhat surprise people if they spent time with me.

I am not as blunt and forthright as I am in person sometimes. I have learned over time that body language/facial expressions are VERY important to my style of communication.

Yes, far too much. Only once was it actually a good thing. She was much sweeter and more shy than she had been miles away.

The others....... older, missing teeth, heavier, pregnant, more married, weirder, just looking for something free that is work related for me..... etc etc etc

Please note that I tried doing the multiple quote thingy on this and it may have gotten seriously screwed up........won't know until I hit the OK button......

Just because you are well educated, articulate, and can use big, fancy words, properly........does not mean you are right!

Do you feel you are giving yourself a fair representation of your personality, thoughts, and ideas in your posts?

Absolutely.  I see no point in lying about it.  I've actually been called arrogant and intractable by those who have viewed my profile, and told I'll never find anyone unless I make myself more approachable.  Which rather negates the whole point of my profile.  I am a firm believer in weeding out the 'faint of heart'.
 
Is the manner in which you post reflective of what people will see when/if they meet you in real life?

I think so.  I like to play with words and ideas, and I don't tend to alter how I speak and think when typing.

Well, if someone takes the time to talk to me and they're really lucky, I might send cleavage shots.  

And last but not least…. *drum roll*

Oh yes!  Between the people who claim to be one age on their profile and are in fact much older, those who beg you to meet them and then go poof, and the so-called Dom's who couldn't spell their way out of a wet paper bag, yet think I should be desperate to submit to their hirsute selves.    Which is why I really do try to be completely honest  about who and what I am.  No offense to the furry and those who love them, it's just a recent experience I've had.
