[bicentennial_baby]

Poll question: Is your DU behavior more or less mature than in real life?

Hey hey DUers, got a question for ya...do you think that your DU persona is more mature than your RL one, less mature, or the same?

[Misunderestimator]

1. I'm about the same... and I prefer the green bar.

:D :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

3. i'm conflicted...

i vary, from less to about the same, but i really really like the purple one, and i don't wanna make poor Robb feel bad :P

:hi:

[wildhorses]

2. green is my favorite color

and besides it happens to be the truth :silly:

[bridgit]

19. mine too, we have green eyes, green car...

:shrug: truth as well :thumbsup:

[wildhorses]

21. how weird is this? my vehicle is green and my eyes are

green sometimes too....really they are hazel but when I wear green they really POP green... good to see you today :hi:


edited for a dyslexic typo :silly:

[bridgit]

24. wildhorses!!

:hi: and now be let it be known in earnest...

green eyed people rule the world; we're just trying to be nice about it

:rofl: good to see you too, friend :hug:

[Devra]

23. mine too I also have green eyes and it's the truth as well.

[In_The_Wind]

41. Green is my favorite color too!

Here is a list of my greenery to substantiate the truth:

Green eyes
Green car
Green walls in my bedroom
Green cape
Green boots
Green clothing ~ lots of it, sweaters, blouses, skirts, corduroy pants, purse ...

I guess you get the idea :shrug: I like green.

[Zuni]

4. depends on the day

I can be remarkably immature in real life as well

[bicentennial_baby]

8. hehe

hey you! :hi:

[Zuni]

9. hey

:hi:

[matcom]

5. it might scare you if you knew the truth

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

7. hahaha, i'm sure you're correct on that

i can only imagine! :o

:rofl:

[Callalily]

6. My behavior on DU

parallels my real life.

[Thtwudbeme]

10. What's your definition of "mature?"

I am not sure if I want to measure myself against the yardsticks I see here.

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Wise choice

:)

[Devra]

12. I see no reason to act more silly, flirty or clever on the internet

and certainly no reason to act less.

[DS1]

13. The only thing that's missing on the DU side is me being able to

hand out the 'House' "That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard" glares like this guy does so well



matcom will vouch for this :hi:

[matcom]

14. but i can FEEL them through my MONITOR!

:D

:rofl:

[Bill McBlueState]

26. ha! I'd like to be able to deliver up one of these from time to time:

People say I resemble the guy.

[underpants]

15. About the same

People take shit way to seriously

[matcom]

17. only when its flying

:bounce:

[underpants]

20. YES!! (marquee works again)

[Shell Beau]

16. I am the same!

I am not as goofy at work, but outside of work, I goof around. That is just my personality. I can be serious though, if the situation calls for it or if I am pissed, upset, etc. I like to have fun though. What can I say?

[matcom]

18. look into my eyes and say....

"TAKE ME NOW!"

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

28. LOL!! I don't think I can say it w/o...

:rofl:


:silly:

[flvegan]

22. The same, and that's pretty sad.

I'm the same 12 year old in real life as I am here.

I just don't flirt as much. I'm actually pretty shy.

[LeftyMom]

25. Sadly, I am this stupid in person, too.

:yoiks:

[William Bloode]

27. I tend to put on a civil act here on DU.

In person i am very loud, crass, rude and outspoken.

[Wapsie B]

29. I'm about the same online and off.

Why do you ask?

;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. I"m pretty much the same here as in 'real life'.......

I'm more intense in 'real life' though.......

And a little more multi-dimensional too.......

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Me too

on all counts :hi:

[WeRQ4U]

31. What you read is what you get.

I'm the same. Although it is nice to edit my statements post-post. I can't do that in real life.

[Bunny]

33. I'm WAY more of an asshole online than I am in real life.

It's not something that I'm especially proud of, mind you, but I suspect that a lot of people are like this.

[bicentennial_baby]

34. Haha, i'm the opposite

DU gets to see my nice-nice behavior, as opposed to the raging bitch i can be irl. :D

Although, i am wonderfully sweet to people i like, both here and on the outside :)

[PassingFair]

47. Me too, Bunny

In real life I almost NEVER talk politics or religion. (Unless I'm sure I'm amongst like minded folk.)
Here I rarely talk about anything else.

I hate direct confrontation, but I LOVE to argue on line....

[hunter]

35. Other...

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. On the internets it's not for me to say. In real life....I've only got

myself to blame. I've seen wacky people get serious here, and vice versa. I can't say.

[bigwillq]

37. About the same (nt)

[Left Is Write]

38. Pretty much the same. I am who I am.

[SOteric]

39. In the brick and mortar world, I almost never

do this:

[nickgutierrez]

40. Probably more mature on DU.

The grey guy makes me do it.

[havocmom]

42. I yam what I yam

here, there & everywhere

[u4ic]

43. I'm less mature in real life

I'm rather boring here. x(

[hickman1937]

44. Voted the same, but I work in a factory, so maybe I'm nicer online.

Depends on the day.

[no name no slogan]

45. Way less mature here

I think-- I'm pretty much a snot-nosed smartass everywhere, though.

[graywarrior]

46. I'm a child no matter where I am

[faithnotgreed]

48. as usual i will be the last to post to this great question

i am much more complicated and passionate and creative and sarcastic than i am here (or so i like to think)

so yeah
basically much different yet very grounded in who i am on du
i have just always liked the idea of encouraging people here who may need a smile or support and leaving it at that

[Crazy Guggenheim]

49. More mature. I am not the same person.

[Maddy McCall]

50. Same here as in real life. I hate to see my friends get screwed....

whether here or in real life, especially the DU friends with whom I have a real-world friendship--the ones I talk to on the phone or have befriended in person.

I usually let blows to me, personally, go if the blow is just based on the sniper's ill-informed opinion of me. (Gasp! Not EVERYTHING that makes the PM rounds is true!)

But when people hurt one of my friends, and they continue to taunt and bait that person, I have a tendency to let go at the aggressor with both barrels blaring.

I'm learning to ignore them, though(even though they were hoping to taunt me into tombstone territory)--because the real-life karma they will receive is always more painful than anything I could say on DU.

[BikeWriter]

51. Yes.
