Why do you forum?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Are you seeking the answer to life, the universe and everything (42, I solved that for you), here for a natter, to put the world to rights, to find that certain hottie(s), to poke at people with a sharp stick for your own machiavellian ends or some other reason?

So dear forumites, what motivates and makes you tick?

Tea

It’s a good way of getting to know people. Personalities tend to show more in forum than in plain messages, that way I can define who I ‘virtually’ get along with a who I don’t.

I’ve had two meets by contact through the forum

I like to see the varied range of topics covered and the discussions around them. I hasten to add there are a few things I don’t like to see.... prevarication, blatant arrogance, provocation of disagreements (and some do that very well here) and most of all the flagrant disregard for fab etiquette!!

Originally I popped on to read about peoples experiences and advice on sub/dom relationships etc.

Then I found the lounge and the rest was history. I quickly discovered a group of people who clearly had some knowledge of each other, some were scary, some were uber flattering and some, well, just normal folk doing what they do.

Diamond Joe was using the forums then I found him absolutely perplexing but in all the right ways. I couldn't work him out apart from the point that he gave no shits about certain things and I liked that about him. He intrigued me, made me laugh and made me

in equal measure.

I soon worked out that it was far easier on the forums to get the measure of people than it was by PM to a degree.

The forums are a goldmine of advice, giggles, flounces, struggles, successes and things that challenge you, whether that's a picture challenge, challenging your preconceptions and thinking or just biting your tongue.

When I found them I was Intrigued (genuinely) reading people's experiences, their stories, fantasies and their thoughts too about their feelings.

Being active in the forums has allowed me to see that what we do is 'normal'. Whatever normal is

Either depending on my current state of mind.

Initially it was to find people I wanted to have sex with as I like to get the measure of someone by observing them from a distance while they fanny about on here. Then it became apparent that for someone like me, who is quickly exhausted by a lot of social contact, it's a way to make connections with people without the social hangover that comes from real life interacting. Having to plan ahead for necessary decompressing after seeing friends is a pain in the arse, quite frankly, as life doesn't stop just because I'm in need of a few hours of solitude. I no longer have to choose between enjoying friends but burning out in the process, or being lonely but full of energy. So even though I'm no longer looking for cock I hang around anyway.

That's a very good point.

I think for neurotypicals there is also a lesser degree of this approach too, the ability to micromanage our socialising and interactions can be very beneficial for mental health.

Much the same as Nell said. It can be a very good way to manage your interactions without exhausting your emotional energies.

I do love that term 'meat space' although for a moment it meant something very different in my head!

Does that make it any less valid?

I do sometimes find that people dismiss the forums as being 'just a laugh' because that's what it is to them. Just because others don't necessarily see it as purely lighthearted fun, doesn't make their view any less valid.

As this thread proves, there are many, many different reasons why people are here, each as valid as the other.

It seems that being nosey is quite a popular reason!

It seems that Internet forums seem to be remarkably similar in their use and the people within them fall into certain groupings. It would be interesting to see where people think they 'fit' versus where others see them but that's the subject for another thread.
