GFY personalities vs. "real" personality
 

You always see people on GFY saying that someone is 'just an asshole on GFY, but in person he's a real class act and a GREAT guy!'

Some notable callous GFY characters like SleazyDream, AaronM, Amp, BradShaw, p1mpd0gg come to mind (feel free to make your own list)

I'll concede that everyone I've met from online is pretty different in person from their online personality.

Do we really believe though that a person's online demeanor is completely separate from their TRUE self?? Do webmasters who haven't met SleazyDream really believe that he's a swell guy in person, or maybe still the same rude asshole but too afraid to talk trash in person?

Surely how someone acts online must be somewhat representative of who they really are?

Anybody have any input :glugglug

My cock is much larger in person.

Fuck you.

























[edit: :1orglaugh ]

I love you Brian

I'm "callous"?


dude..... why you gotta hurt me like that? Where's the love? :(

Funny... niether Sleazy nor Aaron M have EVER been rude or abrasive with me and I am an internet and GFY newbie. I have talked to both of them on ICQ and e-mail & the phone at length before meeting them and find them both to be fair, upfront, patient & I must say - quite good listeners & open minded too.

It's just the idiot fucktards that they challenge & that set them off and for good reason. So you just have to ask yourself: Do you feel stupid now? Well do you? PUNK!!!

Not you personally, unless you aply here in the last paragraph.

No -- you're a joke.

I'm so glad you approve! :)

Its all Fantasy Land:glugglug

And... Amp was generous & informative. Detailed in his help, and constructive in his criticism. He is by far one of the best in the world in his field and he actually took the time to give me advice - now that's fucking COOL!!!

I found Bradshaw & his wife - nice, flattering, elegant & respectfull. So, you see where I'm going here? Some people just need a lesson or 2 in commumication skills. Because life - is all about relationships. What else is there?

Brad Shaw....Class Act

Aaron M....One hell of a guy

Sleazydream....pleasant nice good sense of humor

JimHolio....self righteous prick

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Wrong! You invited the whole world to your house last summer for a party. You can't fool me, you're a nice guy!!!:thumbsup

So it seems as though people think board pissing is just that, board pissing .. and not representative of how someone is in person.

Maybe it's just a little TOO easy and tempting to say something about a guy's wife online or whatever, but in person the tempation isn't so great.

I know a lot of it is just for show/entertainment (see - Serge_Oprano), but sometimes you have to wonder when you see guys flaming each other every day. :)

yeah right hun! ur a true sweetie! and dont make me prove u wrong :)

I am usually pretty laid back in person. But I have a true asshole side that comes out once in a while. As far as this biz goes, I feel there are too many idiots. But when it comes to doing biz with a business person I am down to earth.

I'm actually much nicer in person, if that's even possible to imagine...


:thumbsup :thumbsup

Yeah dude you've always been nice online, in person you're probably a complete dickhead :glugglug j/k

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I met Sleazy in Vegas, he seemed pretty shy and quiet in person.

I'm VERY quiet in person. But I talk a LOT here.

I'm pretty much the same in person, I dont have time for anyone. And if I did have time, I'd still say I had other shit to do.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh


"That" Brad Shaw

Prick

I was thinking quarterback

That's cool .. I had you pegged for a yapper in person.

I don't talk much period ... cheers :thumbsup

This has nothing to do with what you said, but on the internet I'm outgoing and always have something to say...

In real life its another story. If I'm talking to you and looking at your eyes, you're either really hot, or im really drunk... I'm too fucking shy goddamit, it pisses me off.

Anyone in here overcome shyness? Any tips?

I hate everyone on the board and in person.

I don't think overcoming shyness is like overcoming the fear of heights; you have to go at it gradually.

I'm the same way pretty much, I only say as much as I need to get by.

Start small man, practice on the people you're already semi-comfortable around, even if it's family.

You already got the cool nickname, the rest is cake ...

I'm sweet both on and off the board. Right Kayla? Right Kat? Right Pattycake? Right TSB?

Right anyone?

The nick is everything, you gotta have the nick :thumbsup

With over 3000 posts on GFY - your hardly a newbie :thumbsup

Yes, the key to ridding oneself of newbiness is to make nearly 4k posts in under a year.

I've seen it done many times.

It's all about post count. Trust me.

I'm just another character.

I'm painfully shy. I have figured out how to sorta kinda hide it, I don't however know how to get over it! If I do figure it out you'll be the first to know! Course if you figure it out first you have to tell me! :winkwink:

Hahaha, he invited everyone to someone ELSE's house, he ain't no fool!!!! ;)

Helped me overcome being shy....

not the preferred method I am guessing

Online or off...I am the very same person. If you are an idiot in person then I will telll you that just as quickly as I would online.

Case in point:

Some guy approached me after the PlayboyCash party and told me I have never liked him. He invited me into his limo to party it up at a strip club. They guy refused to tell me his name. My reply was this: "If we don't get along online and you won't even tell me your name then you must be a complete dick." Then I turned around and got in Ken's limo.

Let me see...Roll with some nameless idiot or hang out with Ken Lawson for the night.....

Tough choice.

Uh....That was Dave's house, not Jim's.

Helped me overcome being shy....

Yeah....I live in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!

I think most people would agree that I'm the exact same person online and off.

Course, I tend to keep a bit of a low profile for both... hense the nickname :glugglug

If your profile is so low then how come the RCMP have an APB for MaskedMan?

They haven't got me yet, have they? :winkwink:

Good point. :thumbsup

This should be an interesting thread.
But my eyes burn so I cannot read it now.
I decided to post this, so that I will be able to find this thread and read it later.
