We gain a lot of information from the forums about people on here. Some makes us think they sound nice and others make us think looks great but what a shame about the personality. Do others do this or is it just us.

Oh dearThat's what the forums are for, to get to know people. The problem as always is forming an opinion based on what they have said in their posts but yes I think we all form a mental image of people, rightly or wrongly, from what has been posted.
Having been to a few socials now, I've found my image of other members is usually near to the reality ...... but not always.
We definitely do pick up on how people are on here and how they conduct/convey themselves too.We gain a lot of information from the forums about people on here.

I just presumed everyone did this. I think we would take more caution on meeting people that we had, had no interactions with on the forums.
I think the forums are a great tool for observing peoples interactions and making an educated decision on whether you think you'd get on well in RL. We get an imprression of what other members personalities are like on the forums.
For example if we knew a member to be stern or take offence easily or who's interests are what dog is the latest in handbag fashion accessories, then we're probably not going to get along.
If we know of somebody who doesn't like sarcasm or a dark sense of humour then we also may got along.
And then there's those whose moral compass doesn't broadly align with ours. That's going to be a no go too.
Feck if there's anyone left please put your hand up. I might've just isolated us from everybody

To be fair there could actually be a dog in Kaz's handbag. It's like a portable skip and why her purse and keys are always at the bottom of all the crap is a downright mysteryMy hand is still up but it was a close run thing with the dog/handbag accessory oojimawatsit...

In support of the lovely Kaz my handbag is the same. However we ladies need large handbags because when we go out with our other halves they say can you just put that in your bag and have you got room for that in your bag.....To be fair there could actually be a dog in Kaz's handbag.

Of course it is.. We always look at the menu first and eat with your eyes first, so this is no different agreed.It’s just human nature to mentally assess people wether it be in person or the written word.
