"Tall, ginger and pale? Can't really argue with that, surely?" OK, I was thinking about character more than just physical representation. Looks do play a part but I'm asking for a touch of introspection too. | |||

"The way I present here, I'd say I'm smart, reasonably sure of myself, and don't take shit. Friendly when I have the bandwidth or don't feel it'll be abused/ misconstrued. I hint at other sides to me but don't go into it openly. I'm also acutely aware that this is a persona. Based on the real me, though. " I see smart, determined, opinionated, stubborn with a very individualistic style and outlook on life.

"I'm one of life's good guys; Caring, thoughtful, intuative and good company. Perceptions can sometimes be skewed by my confident demeanour, leading others to see me as arrogant and egotistical - believe me though, there's a sensitive soul beneath the outer casing. I don't suffer fools gladly, and enjoy the company of others equally matched on an intellectual level. At times, I'm probably too nice for my own good..." You like your persona of being arrogant but I don’t think you are really. Your comments in threads are sometimes totally inappropriate but you do that on purpose so realise what the consequences will be. You enjoy playing the windup merchant. At other times you offer help in a positive funny way. Egoistic? Yes. Smart? Not sure but could be depending on the working definition we’re using ![]() | |||

"Following on from a thought that I had on my previous thread, I thought I'd give this a go. Often how we see ourselves is very different from how others do; whether it be a very negative view of ourselves or in some cases a case of over inflated ego. So in terms of redressing that balance I thought it might be good to see how others see us. The way this works; post how you see yourself, honestly and then others can reply to you on the thread constructively. No bitching or nastiness please, but also no saccharine compliments and currying favour, this only works if everyone is respectful and honest. Please also remember folks that it's personal opinions only. OK... Let's see how this goes! " If you were doing this on a professional basis there'd be a whole piece of work to be done around contracting and reassuring the client, and even then you'd expect it to be a while before they open up. My gues is this process is no different... Nothing of value can be said that quickly.... Mt Icebreaker | |||

"Following on from a thought that I had on my previous thread, I thought I'd give this a go. Often how we see ourselves is very different from how others do; whether it be a very negative view of ourselves or in some cases a case of over inflated ego.

Please also remember folks that it's personal opinions only. OK... Let's see how this goes! If you were doing this on a professional basis there'd be a whole piece of work to be done around contracting and reassuring the client, and even then you'd expect it to be a while before they open up.

"What do I think of myself? Bit of a fuck up. Temperamental, emotional, impulsive, exploratory. A bit creative and a bit arty. I know there are people who think I'm egotistical, vain, attention-whore, argumentative, immature, annoying, self centred and the like. Feel free to make yourselves known, so we don't have to pretend to be friendly. You dont know me, so it won't sting." I'd describe you as strong minded rather than egotistical or argumentative. It's good you're not afraid to say what you think ![]() | |||

"I like to be nice, other people find this annoying but I genuinely think the world would be a better place if others were too, I'm passionate, loyal and I try to always see the positive in things however this trait has led to me being nieve at times.

" I didn't tell anyone not to enjoy the thread, I just did a slightly elliptical job of telling you something about me by expressing concerns about this process. Ah well. Crack on. " I understand what you're saying but I think you're discounting the benefit that can be found in just talking to friends or strangers even. A counselling dynamic requires trust in order to be of benefit but that delves into the depths of a person's psyche. Getting feedback about how other perceive you isn't counselling, it's no different than asking your friend "what do you think of me?" A person doesn't require therapy in order to indulge in a touch of introspection. Personally, I think your concerns are rather excessive and you're not really grasping the intent of the thread. | |||

"How do I see myself ? Well up until I had the misfortune to have a heart attack 18 months ago I was a confident , affable , cheerful and very sociable chap . I worked with the public , had stacks of mates , and the wife and I would go out swinging three times a week . After that I became more insular , we no longer go out swinging , I’ve lost contact with the mates which shows how shallow all that was , and it seems that all I do on these forums is upset people . Fortunately my relationship with my wife has gone from strength to strength and we are so happy . I’ve retired from work and I’ve never been happier if the truth be known . I have no need to get myself involved with anything stressful . So despite knowing that I’ve created this persona here that’s one of intransigence , that I’m unwilling to embrace all the new stuff going on around me , that I have no empathy and so on , I can’t say I’m at all bothered . The things that matter in my life - my wife , my family , my health are all I care about now . To be liked / respected by a bunch of strangers on a swingers site is way down the list of priorities for me now . I’m not sure it ever was if I’m honest . Those who have been around long enough will know I’ve never been backward in coming forward with sharing my opinions and thoughts relating to this lifestyle . And this hasn’t always gone down too well with some of you . Nor has my sense of humour which can be very dry , and certainly a lot of my views are stuck back in a previous era . " I always enjoy reading your posts. They’re always refreshingly honest, open, no bullshit. I’ve noticed a change in your posting style since you had your heart attack, mostly that you’re not so throwaway with your comments. They are more thoughtful. More insightful as to you as a person. | |||
