How do you differ in real life from your RF persona?

[xkatz]

I am not really American I am actually a giraffe who is renting out an apartment in Halifax.

A pic of me:

 

[Gentoo]

I'm a lot more quiet in real life if I don't know the people that well. If I'm among friends, then I'm more outgoing and fun But it really does depend on how well I know the people I'm around and how comfortable around them I feel.

 

[Moonstone]

I'm more ballsey here, meaning that I dare to say things here that I never would in real life. Also..I think I'm a lot more fun in real life...I seem pretty boring here.

 

[Satans_Serrated_Edge]

I'm actually a young earth creationist and love Jesus with all my heart.

 

[Nanda]

I'm pretty much the same.

 

[McBell]

It probably will come as no surprise to most of you that I am not nearly as politically correct in real life.

What I kind of wonder is what some of the really rude people here on RF would be like if we met them in person. I bet most of them who are comfortable making anti-Gay, anti-Semitic, anti-Mormon or racist or sexist comments would not walk up to someone in real life and act the way they do in the safety of an online environment.

It's easier to be an ******* to words than to people.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

First of all, mine is.

And what you see here is pretty much what you get in real life. There would be very few surprises if you met me in person.

Funny - I'm nothing like what I'm like here. For starters, in real life, I'm neither a cryptosporidium or a penguin.

 

[Draka]

My opinions and my language are more restrained here than irl. Though mouthy is still mouthy.

I tend to sing a lot and I can't quite project that part of me here.

Other than that...WYSIWYG

I am very affectionate, and probably not as cold as my posts seem. I am also quite happy all the time and smile a lot. I have a fast moving pressurised job and RF is a great distraction.

You don't seem cold!

 

[croak]

Hm, what is my RF persona..

I'm not likely to debate people or discuss the issues I do online in real life. I probably sound different online. Definitely more open online than offline. -shrugs-

RF is real life, what do you mean. D:

 

[Onkara]

You don't seem cold!

Well, Madhuri, you don't sound like the shy girl in the corner of the class!

But that's good feedback, thanks! So am not who I think I am... I will need to analyse this for a few hours... mmmm, haha

Well, I would say that you comes across predominantly as serious, mature, very nice and kind and intelligent.

 

[blackout]

In real life I flirt verrry subtly.
(so people can't quite 'pin me' on it)

In real life I don't hit on women.
.... or men. lol

In real life I tend to tell people very little about mySelf.

In real life I only have a small handful of friends.

In real life you can see I weigh more than my pics reveal.

Otherwise, I guess I'm more or less the same.

 

[joea]

I am exactly the same in the REAL as I am on RF.....I try hard when debating to not be egotistic..it goes against the grain to one's teachings.

 

[Onkara]

Yes, "serious" is a better word than "cold" and "considerate" is a better description for you than "shy"

 

[The Neo Nerd]

In RL I'm much more shy and quiet.

Lot more tolerant of other people.

 

[Wannabe Yogi]

I think I am much nicer in person. I don't argue much. I am somewhat quiet and I am told that I am funny. I am a talker not a writer so I think I am seen as more intelligent in real life. One of the reason I am on RF is just to write more. I basically had a job for 20 years that I did not need write more the two sentence's a day. I had a assistant that did it all for me. So in this area of my life (it was never a strong point) I have gotten very lazy. So for me RF is all about self improvement.
