Nexeus -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/7/2006 2:10:20 PM)

You know, the Internet is the way to really allow yourself to express yourself, and there are such avenues, places (such as CM), virtual worlds (SecondLife, There, TSO), where you can explore what your true designation is (sub, Dom, neither), without much discrimination or harassment.  I've been using the net for a tool to explore my own Dom-ness, for some time, and have learned a lot without the risks that are commonly associated outside of the internet sphere.  One thing is that here, you can be what you want to be, but you can also be true to who you wish to be, and work yourself on both sides to achieve that medium.

Ah, the internet question again. Why wouldn’t I want to chat with smart women who understand what I write and I understand what they write? You can exchange ideas, feelings, art, truth, beauty and love. You grow in the same way those of letters hundreds of years ago grew and even fell in love. Actually, it beats the art of letter writing of past centuries because it has immediate feedback. You think of something, hit enter and see the immediate feedback. You respond to the feedback and it goes on and on.

Can there be misunderstandings as you chat? Sure, and maybe the ancient letter writers had an advantage on us because they had to take time to ensure their thoughts were going to be clearly understood. When you are dealing with immediate replies, intended emotions can be interpreted wrong. Humor may come across as being mean. That danger is the price you pay for experiencing this modern phenomenon of instant communications via the written word. It is different.

I have experienced those who wrote superbly on message boards, but when in instant messages, they came across badly. There is a quality to instant communications and some don’t have it.

If I were a letter writer of the past, I would hope that I was working towards a perilous voyage across the ocean to meet my beloved and wasn’t trapped in a letters only relationship and the same holds true for me communicating with someone online today. It is a means to get to know someone deeply before we meet.

umm exsteele know any good jokes?



Tikkiee -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/7/2006 3:24:36 PM)

Real life pro's/cons
You know exactly who you are speaking to.
You can read their face, body language, tone, etc.
You can see their eyes
It's rude to just get up and walk away if you don't like the way things are going.
 
Internet pro's/con's
You can walk away if you don't like the way things are going.
You can be as rude as you like and not have to worry about the other person.
You don't know who you are talking to, and vice versa.
You can fake attraction.
 
I am sure I can think of some more, but off the top of my head, this is what comes to mind.

Lilmissbossy -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/7/2006 10:29:03 PM)

Nahh, it really doesn't. I shouldn't have said that, but your non sequitur threw me a bit.

Ah, perfect. You do get it. I'm impressed.

found one.

because jokes are the insignificant pastimes of the proletariat and immeasurable fathoms below the intellectual capacity of the illuminati which is just nonsense but im hoping people will see me as a philosopher."

dot com.

ta-ra.



ExSteelAgain -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/7/2006 10:52:23 PM)

Ummm, that sort of goes back to why I chastised you to begin with...the request for a joke. So what's a serious existentialist like yourself doing in a place like this? Now that was your joke. Happy? :)



juliaoceania -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/7/2006 10:55:30 PM)

Internet pro.. I can pretend I am talking to Brad Pitt

Real World pro .... Hmmm... as if pretending a love affair with Brad Pitt could be outdone.. blasphemy! .. Nothing is better than the fantasy I created in my head!



Lilmissbossy -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/8/2006 7:32:02 AM)

"chastised" was funny but not as funny as "guffaw".

here is chastisement.

If only that were true..some of us have to prove it over and over and over again. Ask anyone that has been seriously involved in scholarship.



Lilmissbossy -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/8/2006 2:41:56 PM)

I think it meant 'socially'

Regarding the "ask those of us" part of your sentence.

I didn't.



IronBear -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/8/2006 2:50:07 PM)

Pros & Cons...

Net: You can't belt someone in the nose or give then a knuckle sandwich for insulting your lady.

R/L: You can get arrested for belting someone in the nose or giving then a knuckle sandwich for insulting your lady.

Real basic isn't it.... (That is why there is a prolifortion of punching bags in home where people get on line. gets rid of a shitty spleen when you get pissed off and saves legal fees and jail time too..)



ExSteelAgain -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/8/2006 3:49:11 PM)

LOL....IronBear

I meant that part of the sentence in a colloquial sense... Perhaps I should have been more literal...



Curiossdragnlily -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/8/2006 4:39:47 PM)

So are You for or opposed to internet relationships? For me personally, it is a good way to get a relationship started. But i can't see how it is a "real" D/s or M/s relationship. Once that computer or webcam are turned off W/who knows what is happening. Is he/she doing as You, the Dominant/Master, requested or are they just flipping You off ? To me that is something that You can never be sure of.
with respect,

Bearlee -> RE: Real Life versus The Internet (7/9/2006 6:58:18 AM)

Please, what are the numbers some slaves use at the bottom of their posts?

Ex:  srn 308-692-331

Is there a Slave Registery somewhere...?
