Not waffle, I think your right there, art imitates life, not the other way around. The net is just like a brain, lots of connections and signals sent along them. Creativity is the non sexual expression of reproduction through art, invention and ideas. We have or we could invent a machine which imitates or works on the same principals as almost any natural bodily function. It's no coincidence that people call their projects their "baby" because creativity is reproduction of nature and life. But i no longer see what that has to do with somebody being themselves on the internet  |
haha ur right, we've kinda strayed slightly from the point have we not, but lets roll with it, who knows where it will take us, hopefully not somewhere like colchester (no particular reason)

| soatom i think you should be a relationship adviser as you seem to have good common sense, my philosophy is that in life not everybody is going to like me, thats life and its ok, but there are a lot who do like me so i focus on those and i agree with what you say about 'whining on', i notice a lot of it on here and sometimes inappropriate self disclosure, people need to accept crap things happen - deal with it, get over it and move on to make the most of life, life is far too short to spend it harping on about negative things |
whey! we have another person with her head screwed on the right way, i like it, i think being down to earth and just realising some of the common truths you mentioned there is all you need to succeed, because it's just a matter of time is it not? as the buddhist's teach, all suffering is temporary, and if you realise this you will experience no suffering...

| wow, i appear to have caused a feud, i'd say their are many parallels between stuff on the net and real life, but everything applies both ways, and if people are lying on the net, ull soon find out in real life anyway so there's not much to distinguish between.
the only difference is deceptive photos and having time to think about answers before saying them, which can also be deceptive. aside from that, id say i behave on the net as i would in real life except im talking to people i don't know and so obviously i don't care about responses as much as in real life. but is sitting down and physically typing not part of real life? is everything on the web fantasy? i think not, these electrical signals being flown around the world are just a living metaphor for our own brains... kinda. wow, the world as a massive brain, i like it, i should write a book... waffling agen, S.J. |
Dont worry you havent caused any feud
From my experience, the most affective profiles I have written have been humorous and jokey ones, that have no information about me at all. Both sites I go on I have had loads of messages complementing me and commenting on jokey profiles. Ones with mundane honest information about myself, hardly get any interest.
I've also noticed women like arty pictures that give hardly any visual information about the person. I've even seem women crush on men with these pics, which is odd.
I've met probably hundreds of people off dating sites now, and most people are not exactly like their persona's. Most are a lot more introverted. Its seemingly much easier to be an extrovert on the net then real life. Someone who is the life and soul of a dating site and forum, might not be the life and soul in real life.
These are some of the reasons I've become disillusioned with net dating.
As for the whinging on here. I think some people can probably say things on the net that they cant in real life. Maybe they haven't got anyone to listen to them, or maybe in real life they just ain't whingers. But these forums are an easy outlet for some people
I've met loads of people that ain't quite the same on the net as they are in real life, for all sorts of reasons. But I have met a few that are.

Inappropriate self disclosure
I have done that in various guises over the years and I can vouch for that being a wrongun. (Is that how you spell it?)
People need to accept crap things happen
Sometimes a very hard thing to understand but still a lesson that is everybody needs to accept.
Make the most of life; life is far too short to spend it harping on about negative things
Bang on the nail.

SOATom's advice should be compulsory reading before joining this site. It's a good foundation for successful dating on or off the net.
