I know, I know. Another tease of a header. Final thread because I'm trying to keep up productivity.
So... posts on the forum. Do you ever read a post from someone and lose interest in them? Can a post make you more interested in someone?
Do you care if people are more/less interested in you because of what you post? |

I think we are all here to be noticed, to find people. I hope I can keep people interested but such a wide variety of people you will never interest all. |

If someone acts completely out of character to what they show me privately then sure I'd question it, not sure if it would put me off them though. The only thing that geuinuely puts me off someone is that full on attention seeking fawning over everyone who will give them a sniff of attention, that kind of flirting isn't attractive.
For me personally, I don't really care what people think of me from a forum post, it's not the whole picture so their opinion isn't a true reflection of who I am. If someone doesn't want to meet me because of something I've said, cool I have no issues with that. |

I would have to say Yes, it can, as somebodys responses to particular threads can give you an insight into their personality, but then it will also depend on how much interest you had in them to begin with and what future interaction you might have been wanting to have with them.

I'm more likely to be intrigued by something someone posts and want to talk to them.
Once I get to know them, I may get put off then. Not in a nasty way. Just if the conversation doesn't flow then what's the point?
Forums are all swings and roundabouts people having bad days, good days etc etc. Someone can say something awesome in one thread and then wtf in an other. I am open to challenge or praise, both can be interesting conversation openers.
Those who know me don't judge me and those who judge me don't get to know me.
Something like that anyway. |

Certainly, forum interactions can be very revealing as regards to a person.
I’ve seen a few who have let their forum personas ‘slip’ during certain moments (usually during more heated exchanges with other forumites), revealing their true and frankly, highly unappealing colours as it were.

I’m the opposite. It’s the forums that made me start liking someone enough to then ask to talk privately.
I’m not in the bracket of being able to get a reply from off the forums. And strangers just sound strange.

For example, I would hope that most of my posts have given an insight to my sense of humour and that people see me as someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously - but then there are some threads where I might have taken a particularly strong view on something which might lead some who aren't perhaps as frequent visiters to the forums, to see me in a different light entirely.
By the way, I also like boobs. |

Yeah, usually it's a habit over time though or a trend.
That's fine though, I'm sure I put plenty off too. As it should be, we're here to connect with the rare few, not appeal to the masses. |

My messages that I have been sent unsolicited (I.E. the first message in the conversation) have always been sent as a result of my forum post(s). I think I have a pretty decent profile as well but, meh, it’s all about the forum posts apparently. |

Posts that are dismissive of things like the extent of social issues like racism or are dismissive of people caring about it in their partners.
An open minded approach to understanding the lived experiences of others and not being dismissive of those things on topics such as racism make me more into someone. That and actively being an ally.

No. And it's a fool's errand to try and do so isn't it? When I see that behaviour I think, for about two seconds before I move on, "why?". It's far better to be true to you, well as true as anyone is on the forums. |

Finally- no I don’t care if they’re less interested in me. Over 75% of the people in the forums openly express not liking people that talk like me, listen to the music I do and don’t understand my references  if they don’t like me jets fine we probably aren’t going to be anything anyway. |

Less so their posts and more their attitude and behaviour. You have to remember a lot of people’s forum personas are different to who they are in real life. Some people who could be considered dickish are decent folks, while other more popular people are dangerous predators taking advantage of others.
A post may make me notice someone, that leads me to clicking on their profile, that leads to interest. But mainly its more admiration from afar. That person sounds decent.
Not really. People block you for all manner of reasons. People attack you for having a different point of view, opinion or even experience. I post to engage, not seek validation. |

To expand on the first maybe go from neutral to disinterest.
Yes, words as sexy, well they can be. Can you express yourself, make your points? You have my attention.
Finally no, I don't view it as a popularity thing.

I think I probably have put off plenty people from my oversharing comments or threads over the years. They clearly wouldn't be my people.
Equally though, I've also struck up friendships and had wonderful times as a result of comments on the forums.
So it's actually a good pretty good filter at times. |

Yes it generates interest for me as well as causing me to lose it. But then it's just me in here, ever so rarely Fox, so it's only affecting the view of one of us.
Do I care if my posts and views cause others to lose interest? Nope. Because it just indicates we wouldn't be compatible. If it stirs interest then that's fine, but it's not that important either, because my views aren't Fox's and anyone would have to be interested in us both anyway.
The long and the short? Yes, no, maybe and depends on the person.

Yeah not sure if this is what you mean but an example- if you talk about mental health and stuff, not just on here but social media in general, people feel so uncomfortable. |

I can confirm this. I'm closer to some people I've interacted with only online and known for close to 15 years, than I am with most people I've known from childhood. |

I like to post fun threads where possible, I love it if people find the content interesting, what I don't like is answering within the threads as I don't want to leave anyone out, so I tend to post and let everyone take over which is great when they are all interacting amongst themselves.
Do I find the people who post thread's more interesting? Well yes but also the people who interact within the threads too, they certainly become more interesting than one of the local people, you don't get to find out anything about their lifestyle etc.
Has the forums turned me off anyone? Not at all I only get involved in the thread's that I feel comfortable with the subject and I just wouldn't rise to the occasion if someone was trying to goad me. |

Lordy, there’s a question….
I don’t think I’ve ever lost interest in someone from a post, probably the opposite. I did once make the mistake at looking at a virus thread, b ut I’ve not done that since.
I hope people are more interested in me but who knows, one can only be oneself  x |

Yes, No, it depends but if they're put off by what I say on the forum they wouldn't like me anyway, so I guess that saves time.
I have almost exclusively met forum people since lockdown ended, and will only be meeting forum people from now on, as I enjoy getting to know people on here, and I'm only looking to socialise anyway (I reserve the right for an exception that proves the rule of course).
So I can be swayed by forum posts, but there is a while picture that I'll take into account as well. |

It goes both ways, it can absolutely make me lose interest in someone but it can also pique my curiosity about someone a lot.
There's some crushes I have just from what they post on the forums.

I don’t know anyone well enough to be put off by what they post, so that’s not an issue.
Someone’s attitude to a thread may pique my interest but I can’t say it has made me want to know more about them. So far.
I say what it occurs to me to say, sometimes considered, often flippant. Again, I don’t know anyone here ( as far as I am aware) so I’m not concerned what they think. As long as I don’t inadvertently offend.
I would like to know some better, but you have to take me as I am. No one has shown sufficient interest in my posts to make me thin that is going to happen soon.
What was the question? |

Yes, I can definitely like people more or less from their posts.
That's the big plus of the forum, isn't it - seeing more of someone's personality than you'd from a profile or single message, especially over time.
That said, if I'm not physically attracted to someone, their posts alone are unlikely to make me want to get naked with them. It could definitely happen in reverse though! |

I think the posters that put me off, I wouldn't meet anyway and if I did, I'd definitely be put off even if their profile is amazing!
I used to care a lot about putting people off with my posts so would always try to be as inoffensive as possible and not try to be too controversial. However, with time spent here I've become more comfortable in my opinions and not really fussed if people are put off with my comments anymore  |

You can tease me any time Meli.
I can be put off by forum posts and comments. The problem is I have an awful memory and then forget who it was anyway.
A post might interest me enough to read a profile. The profile might make me message.

The internet can be a funny thing really, you kind of make assumptions about people based on what you read and write in forums, true of this site and other more vanilla sites.
I’ve met people at football matches that I’ve seen on Twatter or the football forums and some of them have been totally different in real life to their online persona. True also of people off here.
Conversely, I’ve met people that are EXACTLY like their online persona in real life.
I’ve also have private conversations with people on here that are very different to the way they portray themselves in the forums - I’ve got to see a very different side to them.
You kind of don’t know until you meet them or speak more intimately to them, so I try not to *overly* pre-judge if I can help it (although we all have our un-conscious biases. I had to hyphenate that otherwise it’s a banned word!  )
I do tend to shut off from people that tend to regularly vocalise extreme views on here - either far right wing or far left wing. I’m happier sat gathering splinters on the fence in the middle on a fuck site ..  |

What people say and how they say it can certainly inform and influence my opinion of someone. I tend to skim read through the forums and mostly focus on people I recognise. I quite like diversity of views, and some people fascinate me even if I wouldn't share their views.

Most of the people I’ve met have been from the forum and chat develops from it. It’s probably the reason why meets have always been enjoyable, even if they don’t necessarily go far afterwards.
Being interesting to talk to and making me laugh is a shortcut to my desires, whilst norks are lovely I need more than that. |

"I know, I know. Another tease of a header. Final thread because I'm trying to keep up productivity.
So... posts on the forum. Do you ever read a post from someone and lose interest in them? Can a post make you more interested in someone?
Do you care if people are more/less interested in you because of what you post?"
Posts put me off people often yes. My posts also put people off me.
All in all, this is absolutely a thing |

I don't care for the opinions of strangers
It's nice to be liked, but not if it comes at the cost of being disingenuous or true to yourself |

I think that happens to us all.
You can have an idea of someone, and then you find out something you didn't expect and it can kind of throw you off. Or when you're being sweet talked behind the scenes, made to feel special, and then see comments that make you realise they are doing the same to every other woman they fancy too, which is fine, but if you're anything like me it definitely changes how you view that person.
I've gained interest in people too after reading their posts. I love the way the forum works. It's a good way to work up an idea of who someone is. |

"Definitely. I really can’t be arsed with one forumite now because of this
It was the talk of Anusol, wasn't it  "
The talk was fine but the diagrams and audio recordings “in action” were a bit much |

Yes and no, words on a screen can be very subjective and can be read differently to how the author is actually meaning them to come across and no actual intent or offense meant.
That said if someone is just an outright utter cockwomble then yeah it may put me off them.

It’s far more likely that certain comments would really put me off someone much more than them make someone seem more attractive.
A slight caveat of the above however is that most of the time when I’m scanning threads I’m not even looking at who has said what, so I’ve no idea most of the time whose opinions are whose. |

A lot of what’s post on the forums is just a bit of fun,some topics actually surprised us
One this morning actually caught our attention due to the content,a certain female had posted in who we both wasn’t keen on due to her posts on certain topics and a few disagreements
I can honestly say I have to some degree (Mr)
Realised that she has a very good reason for the posts, so yes it’s changed my view for the better |

Well, some folks Red Flag themselves on the forums, so we'll pop them on Block and add a note why. We are all someone's Red Flag
.
Yes, a post can make us more interested. Articulate and serious posts attract my attention. Frivolous and trivial posts do not. |
