I'm feeling brave/bored and I'm intrigued as to others opinions (let's call it idle curiosity). So go on, what do you dear forumites think of me?
I will add that irrespective of others opinions I'm definitely not going to be changing anything about myself. |

You actually come across as really nice, straight talking guy. Most of your posts that I've seen (not stalking you, honest lol) are straight down the line, sensible. A bit of a rarity on here  |

Having viewed your pics for the first time, it looks like you great lips for sucking too |

What I think about you Chimp?
Well I know you personally, and I consider you a friend, so my answers a tad biased.
But you are a great guy.
Your forum threads are what first intrigued me about you.
They're thought provoking, intelligently written, often challenging but not in a confrontational way.
In fact you respond to those that do, in a calm diplomatic way.
You are IMO one of the rare wise wisdom writers on here

As you’re a bloke I really don’t notice, but your recent posts that I did spot show you to be intelligent, articulate and caring.
I daren’t look at your pictures because you’re probably good looking too.
You’re basically a nicer, cleverer and more handsome version of me. You bastard |

Hot, thoughtful, thought provoking, intelligent, eloquent, considerate, sensitive and with a vulnerable side are all words that spring to mind about you dear chap.
You often say what I would say, only often do so better and in fewer words (!!), and that coupled with the fact you're a Spurs fan, endears me further to you. |

It's good to get feedback sometimes if you have a general core to your makeup.
So you can see if people 'get you' or not.
Somebody mentioned on the thread the other day about how only a well-liked forumite could get away unscathed asking OPs question.
Well now we can all see the difference.
Nothing personal on you Mr T,
Your an intelligent guy with a good heart, thats good by me. |

Yes, very true. Although, it's understandable given the different ways that he and I use the forums. I think I would've been more surprised if we'd had the exact same responses. |

I like you. Sometimes you get a bit embroiled in threads but if that’s what tickles your fancy then that’s a good thing. I think you’re fair, you don’t get personal. I wouldn’t have you down as a person to start a thread like this though but I’m sure you have your reasons.
And you’re sexy and attractive of course  |

I like you. Our opinions and views clash on most things but I respect you and the fact that even though you post some controversial threads you never get personal and I actually don’t believe you post them to cause trouble as some so obviously do. I think you’re extremely intelligent and I enjoy a lot of your posts. |

You do brighten the forums up and have a positive view of the world.
And the responses would probably be different to each person who dared to post a thread like this.
Yet the tonal difference did seem a bit unwelcoming, not by you, just generally to the guy on the other thread.
I wonder if we are collectively as welcoming as we might be to either newbies or others who dont quite fit into the perceived norms of the forums?

I do wonder that sometimes myself. I think that the forums in general can be rather unwelcoming to newbies, especially ones that aren't perceived as being overtly attractive. |

I’ve just noticed the thread hasn’t been deleted it’s still there. You’re right it was from yesterday evening but the tone of the responses is quite different. I know I’ve had to consider my own contribution to that thread and ask why I posted. The juxtaposition of this thread certainly makes me think even more about it. |

I think it's a certain degree of the tone of response. Although many on the other thread simply stated that they hadn't seen enough to comment.
I think that certain traits on the forums are viewed negatively, one being particularly needy or attention seeking. This type of thread identifies as both, although, I hasten to add, not why I started it. |

Or is it just possible that people on both threads have spoken honestly and that is the reason for the perceived difference? Yes perhaps some of those on the other thread could have been sugar coated a little, but I don't think I saw anything that I necessarily disagreed with the comment, even if the tone may have seemed harsh - and in fairness the OP did rather set himself up on that thread by asking people not to pull punches.
So while I do think an element of "popularity" may guide the tone - in some instances brutal honesty comes into it too - both good and bad.
Of course there is also the old adage of "if you can't say something nice" to consider, and that partly is why I refrained from posting on the other thread. |

I quite like you op - but what’s with everyone suddenly setting up threads to ask what others think of them?
Are we not all adults? - mature enough to reflect on our own strengths and weaknesses and do something about them where appropriate? |

I like most of the threads you post, I find them interesting. You seem like a fair person.
I've only just realised that I've never looked at your profile before (that I can remember) and I have no idea who your girlfriend is.
So my thoughts are based entirely on your posts. |

People have always needed approval, because we are social creatures. But with the advance of modern technology and now social media, people crave validation from strangers on the interweb, the reason I have no idea. |

I think that's its because people consider social media to be an extension of their social sphere. As you said; people are social creatures and want to feel accepted.
Obviously some will possibly judge others for seeking what others consider validation online. Personally I just think that it's how social interaction increasingly is. For me, this thread has been an interesting thing and would just as much had the responses been overwhelmingly negative. |

I’ll be honest here .
I think you are way too soft , empathetic and the kind of person that strikes me as a left leaning liberal trying to be all things to all people . Way too pc for my liking , always championing the underdog for want of a better phrase . A bit like the guardian newspaper , lots of words and emotion but no answers and no real conviction .
I’ve never seen eye to eye with you , and like you do to mine , I normally ignore your posts .
Certainly an attention seeker who wants people to think what a wonderful guy you are , and it seems to have worked out well for you . Fair play to you , you must be delighted with the way this thread turned out . |

I can answer this, I’m his elder and he’s constantly mean to me - so that’s a no.

"I'm feeling brave/bored and I'm intrigued as to others opinions (let's call it idle curiosity). So go on, what do you dear forumites think of me?
I will add that irrespective of others opinions I'm definitely not going to be changing anything about myself. "
You don't bore me.
You do make me smile.
I like your attitude.
You're alright. |

"I’ll be honest here .
I think you are way too soft , empathetic and the kind of person that strikes me as a left leaning liberal trying to be all things to all people . Way too pc for my liking , always championing the underdog for want of a better phrase . A bit like the guardian newspaper , lots of words and emotion but no answers and no real conviction .
I’ve never seen eye to eye with you , and like you do to mine , I normally ignore your posts .
Certainly an attention seeker who wants people to think what a wonderful guy you are , and it seems to have worked out well for you . Fair play to you , you must be delighted with the way this thread turned out . "
Glos, is there anyone on these forums you do like? Or are all the people you like too busy reading the daily mail and moaning about 'snowflakes' to join fab? |

I'm just cherry picking here but, gentle, empathetic, Liberal, championing the underdog, verbose and emotive and wonderful. Thanks for that!
The fact that you think those are bad, well... |

I don't take much notice of what people post on the forums. There aren't many people who stand out to me, and you're one of those that doesn't stand out much. Other people may take more notice of you because you piss them off, but you have tea in your name, so you're ok by me. Unless you're being a bit of a cunt. But let's face it, we can all be a cut at times; it's what makes this place bearable.
To the people who don't like emojis, fuck off. |

This thread isn’t about me , it’s about Tea Monkey . I didn’t say I didn’t like him either , I just made my points in response to his thread .

In moderation they aren’t bad at all .
It just seems to be the go to on every subject that comes up with you . A bit  for my liking .
But you really must be doing something right as I said in my last post on the thread . Very few people on these forums could ask the question you have asked and get such a positive response . I’m genuinely pleased for you . Just because I don’t see things the way you do doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for you . |

Just realised I didn’t answer the question while I was questioning the purpose.
Compassionate, romantic, balanced, authentic, opinionated and rather sexy too.
The forum is better for you being on it.

"I’m questioning the purpose of this thread TM given what happened on the deleted thread of a similar ilk this morning?
Was there? I didn't see that.
As I said in my OP, bored and curious were my primary motivations
It’s almost identical however the one this morning got removed as it didn’t go well at all.
Ah! I did see one yesterday, which started my cogs whirring but that was still there this lunchtime.
If it's the thread I read last night it's quite interesting to see the difference in responses between that guys thread and yours.....
Yes, very true. Although, it's understandable given the different ways that he and I use the forums. I think I would've been more surprised if we'd had the exact same responses.
I’ve just noticed the thread hasn’t been deleted it’s still there. You’re right it was from yesterday evening but the tone of the responses is quite different. I know I’ve had to consider my own contribution to that thread and ask why I posted. The juxtaposition of this thread certainly makes me think even more about it.
Or is it just possible that people on both threads have spoken honestly and that is the reason for the perceived difference? Yes perhaps some of those on the other thread could have been sugar coated a little, but I don't think I saw anything that I necessarily disagreed with the comment, even if the tone may have seemed harsh - and in fairness the OP did rather set himself up on that thread by asking people not to pull punches.
So while I do think an element of "popularity" may guide the tone - in some instances brutal honesty comes into it too - both good and bad.
Of course there is also the old adage of "if you can't say something nice" to consider, and that partly is why I refrained from posting on the other thread."
I think that’s why I had to question why I posted my feedback. |

Just sounds a bit "tell me I'm the most popular, please let it be me"
Anyone who starts this type of thread isn't really on my wavelength. Doesn't make it a bad thing. Just completely different sort of person to me.
Variety is the spice and all that |

Similar threads from two different people have posed for me, a few questions based on the outcomes.
Is being “known” even in a negative way better than being invisible on a forum? A bit like the saying - “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.”
Would both OP’s say the responses on here correlate with views that friends / colleagues / families may express?

I would say probably, with a 'but'.
I don't discuss similar topics with friends or colleagues so they wouldn't see me as being as passionate about those subjects. However, I'm the same online as I am in person and don't filter according to my audience excepting for circumstances. So I'd say yes, they would. |
