    I don't always have women crawling on me, well only on the weekends! =P

    Other than that I am pretty much the same in person as I am online.

    I am pretty much the same in person. Though I type less compared to online interactions. And my mouth moves more.

    I'm not as articulate in person. I spend a good amount of time editing the things I want to say in forums, trying to get the best message across. Also, since I like to have a lot of time to think about what I'm saying, there's a lot of 'um's and 'uh's in my speech.

    I need to be more like you. I hate backspacing so whenever I feel like I phrased something wrong I just feel like "Ah screw it" and post it.

    I think I'm more open and honest online, more like myself. In RL there's really only my partner that I can fully be myself with. Yeah, there's friends and family that are close but not completely. I'm more shy offline.

    Online, it's not anonymous, but it kind of is at the same time. I have a few RL friends on here but they never actually log on. I think if several people I actually knew were on here regularly, I would hold back with quite a few things. I like being completely relaxed on here.

    What you see is what you get. Pretty much live by this. No need to front in real life vs. online or vice versa.

    Great post!

    I am very much a wise *kitten*, smart *kitten* & a little b&tchy in person. Okay, maybe a lot in person.. lol and i am VERY much myself on facebook, because i have some very close friends on there i have had over 6 years now.. that i STILL talk to every day. I am snarky, silly, i laugh A LOT and i love to give shiz.

    On MFP, i am a little more reserved, because this is a place where a lot of people are putting a very sensitive situation out in the open for people to (even though you arent suppose to) judge you.. because that is what 90% of people do. Judge. So i try to be a little more sensitive about that..

    However, I dont take shiz from anyone. I can take if you say.. "hey more veggies needed!" or.. "where is the water today?" but dont cram down my throat that im killing my body, and that i ate too much cake or had too much beer on my cheat day. Dont tell me that because i drink beer, im a bad person, and you are *worried* for me. Thats crap.

    So all in all, im still "me" and always have been.. (ironically, my profile says to "find me again") lol.. but i think the more weight i lose, the more i feel more comfortable in person being myself.. who i really am.

    Make sense?

    I am pretty much the same guy, online and off. What you see is what you get; there is no difference. I would like to think that I am a fun,outgoing,happy guy with absolutely NO filter both on and off line.

    I'm less furry in real life.

    I am probably more outspoken in the real world because it's easier for someone to know whether I'm being serious or joking.

    I am more "real" here than on facebook. The way I act online on MFP is the way I act when I am with my friends in person. I'm crazy and a flirt. But on facebook I am friends with people's kids and family etc and I feel I need to be more reigned-in.
