If the member blood was yours it would have been funnier.

EDIT sorry, I really didn't mean that, I just thought I was funny, but it wasn't really that funny, I was just having a good time, but now I feel bad about saying that, especially because it wasn't funny.

nah...see thats were you are wrong...if that knife had your blood, it would have been funnier indeed.

Ok...since you edited above statement cole grey, thank you, because I am also sorry, I should have said anything about knifes and blood, especially threaten anyone's security here...

yawwnnnn....I wonder what is the percentage of all these..."thats me in the pink top" and "oh thats me agains..."...is actually true...and if does happen that the percentage of pics posted here actually depict the members of this forum...then why do they not care for their security?...what if now...I have a knife dirty with blood from one of the members? for example Happeh?...huh?...did you accomplish everything in life to give away the security you once had and the security of your family?

I have posted other pics over the last few years, and they are all me. I'm not understanding what you mean about security though. This was a trip we took to South Africa, and will never take again. So you could go to the location of my picture and never see me. I am also very plain and average, so picking me out of a crowd of people would be difficult as well no matter where I was. So I have lost nothing, and been able to share an experience with other people on this board without having a security breech, or any such thing. You don't know where I live, nor exactly what I do for a living, nor where I work... so I think you are just exaggerating to make a point.

I don't know what percentage of the people on here aren't posting real pics, and I don't really care. It's not like I'll ever meet them in real life. And even if I did, I'm not one to judge or hold it against someone if they have lied. One thing you learn about internet forums is no one is themselves here, if they were it'd be very boring.
 
i was going to repley something allong the same lines as apeman, but as usual never got a round to doing it.
Except from the village and 1 other thread where im non gender for a brieft period of time, I am me.
 
why do you have to be either uninteresting or unreal? the world is full of interesting and attractive people... is that so hard to believe?

Most people are terribly boring and pretend things in real life. The internet's not much different at all.
 
Me bad, i was having the following part of what was said in mind

There are exceptions, but this is a good observation, I think.
 
I think so too, actually. People always seem to make themselves out to be more than they are. People in general aren't as interesting and colourful as they tell you they are. Part of it is self-image, and the other part is the need to be special. It's just the way of things.

Spectacular people are pretty rare.
 
I disagree. I'm suprised at some of the compliments on my personality that I get. I happen to enjoy my own company, but I don't make a big deal of it, and I don't expect anyone else to, it just happens.

Woops! Did I break the law?

I think this is due to a particular approach we have to describing ourselves, and to taking the way others describe us.

When we describe ourselves, we tend to do it with the intention to point out how said trait makes us special -- it comes across as if we were the only ones having that trait.

When I say I have a red Nike backpack, I can find that there is a sense of "I have a red Nike backpack and this makes me special" also present in my mind. Even though there are thousands of people who have that same kind of red Nike backpack.

Esp. in the West, we tend to view our self (and other people's selves) as something context-independent, something absolute. And we tend to speak of our traits with this context-independency and absoluteness in mind.
Hence the overplaying of one's interestingness.

We struggle badly to prove our specialness!

No, I just think you are good at lying to yourself.

Everyone puts on airs. No one is 100% honest about themselves 100% of the time, especially to themselves. This is reality, and it's not right or wrong... it simply is.
 
Everyone. It's human nature to want to be liked or to want to be disliked. We either pull people to us, or push them away accordingly. We do this by putting forth an attitude or air. Nothing is 100% honest, and to expect someone to be is a joke. People are flawed, and people are judgmental. Combine the two and you have a pushme-pullyou of society, each trying to hide that which they perceive to be that which would be judged. Who we really are never really is who we pretend to be... there is always underlying truth that we don't see, or don't want anyone else to see. Some even go as far as creating other ugliness to hide their own pain from others. It's all just a dance really. We just can't look at ourselves or others honestly and objectively... compassion helps but most people lack that though ignorance or a lack of intelligence. And just when we think we know ourselves, someone points out a part of us that we didn't see and our insecurity draws the masks right back up again.
 
I know Kotoko. It's hard to want to admit that though. I think I am as honest with myself these days as I can be. However, honesty with one's self is a constant battle, so to say.

Here's a recent pic of me so that we can keep the thread going.

indeed... it's like our everyday job interview :)
 
cotton,

You have a good smile. Very warm and friendly.

Also, I am not attracted to men - contrary to buddha1's insistence, I just think it is a good thing to have a welcoming smile. Mine is more of a goofy one.
