    Extremely different. I am actually an 85 year old White Woman living vicariously through this 31 yo Dominican Male. God its so much fun. The awesome part is I even picked up Spanish to give my character that extra edge.

    Next week im thinking about being a beautiful young Vietnamese Woman who is struggling with weight gain because of all the fried foods here in the U.S.

    I'm more shy in real life, but I'm definitely the same person. It's just easier to be a bit more open and forward when you hAve a computer to hid behind!

    It is hard to answer. I have a quiet smile. I do not ask inappropriate questions. I do talk about walking dead and stuff. I dedicate my life to my kids.

    I'm more reserved on the message boards because I don;t want to fight, argue, get in flame wars, etc. and most of the time it's better to stay quiet. On my profile and with my friends list I'm completely myself.

    I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal.

    I'm just me!

    There are times I may have a little more gumption online than I do in real life - but overall....what you see/read is what you get!

    I think about the same. Online I try to control myself A LOT though purely because I know that via text and my inability to transfer my true meanings to English language might cause problems.

    I think I am pretty much the same... though I think my humor would be taken correctly when in person than it is online. I sometimes think people take what I say a little too seriously sometimes.

    I also tend to converse better when I can write things down, then in person, but I still say whats on my mind and have a really awesome and dirty sense of humor!

    I'm pretty much the same. Quiet, shy, awkward, introspective, and kind. At least, I think I come off that way online.

    My pictures lie. I'm an overweight, extravagantly hairy man who just wants to be loved and cuddled.

    Oh, and my personality is the same.

    I'm definitely a no bull**** person. I am the same in person as I am online.

    I am infinitely more likely to share personal stuff regarding weight on here.

    I promised myself "no secrets" when I started this. Open about all of it.
    I figure people here are more likely to get it, and it might help someone else.

    Every time I have ever posted something that I wouldn't dare share in real life I have had others comment how much they related to it.

    not different at all. I'm opinionated, sensitive, and type a. LOL. I am also warm and fuzzy when I like you but blunt when I don't.
