Do you think users can subconsciously read our personalities are some how transferring it onto this thread?like really, think about it, if theres some girl who is pretty and enough ppl tell her so, it WILL go to her head. (in real life) Now, she'd come on the forums, put up her picture, know she's pretty(without being a show off) and people will automatically sorta feel her confidence and vote her to win... Is is possible? Because it seems it could be what happens.... Example : me. No one tells me I'm pretty in reality, because well i dunno the why, i guess Im obviously not or people would say so to my face. SO I've grown to be shy and not show off alot or wear make up or w/e. thats all subconscious i guess. SO I post a picture or a few in the galleries and receive 2 or 3 replies to like, 7 pics. Ok, so reality is the same as the galleries. Once in a while I recieve a PM from someone, most recently Lucifer Sam )) saying Im good looking or have pretty eyes or something, which is a great pleasure to me, seeing as I'm never complimented. and yet still, even though certain individuals think im somewhat pretty, I am still never mentioned or even thought of as a pretty forums member. ('cept lucifer) SO its like you guys met up with all the people I know and asked them how they treat me then do what they do... SO, somehow you guys have all.... channeled i guess... or psychicly knew to avoid mentioning me because somehow I show you how people treat me in my daily life... know what I mean? I dont get attention there and I dont get attention here.. so somehow you guys know my reality. it's not like i dont post so i'm unknown, ive got 800 some post. You simply recieve who i am and treat me the same way on here as im treated in life, overlooked and under appreciated. (not a pity comment) SO It's true for me, is it true for you? Like, Psyche, i think thats you new SN here... the gal everyone voted for.. do you get looks and compliments in your daily reality? I mean, people complimenting you on here would give you confidence outside the net, so you wouldnt hide or be shy, which would make you more open to compliments, which would make it easier to compliment you..... Does your results on this thread match your reality? does your net life reflect your reality, with regards to this particular thread? Would some slut come off as a slut on the forums?
Hmm... I don't know, Shine_On. That's a pretty deep thought, ya know? I'd say I'm treated here about the same as in real life. I mean, I posted my pics on the "all hip forums guys" thread thing, and I didn't get any comments or anything. Not that I really care, but I'd say that carries over into the real world. People very well could sense that feeling of confidence in the photos and their comments... I guess you never know. However, I couldn't imagine no one giving you compliments... that's amazing. And I didn't overlook you, so... erm... yeah.
I think maybe people put their pics on here because they feel that no one is going to say anything wrong about them or say they are ugly. Maybe for some, it's an ego boost because they don't get that all the time in person, but then you got people who enjoy hearing those things and know they will get good answers. Just depends, but a picture is worth a thousand words.
thats very astute of you Shine On! It makes me wanna delete my photo gallery, because i am treated differently here than in reality and i dont know why... cause my gallery makes me out to be a lot more confident than i actually am... maybe cause outside of this site i dont know a ton of hippies and on the site i feel more comfortable with my hippy-ness.
Holy crap. I had never even thought about that before . Since this is so insightful i'll tell you my experience.In all complete honesty I am (bar 1 vote)ignored in these threads too and yet the complete opposite is true in real-life. Now that i look at my gallery i think that maybe i look like a f~ckin poser or something but the truth is i totally freak out when someone goes to take my picture - This is going to sound pathetic but truthfully,people can comment on your appearance to the extent that you become very self-concious (sp) All my pics cept the Haircut one were taken by someone else with no thought about posting them on here. Infact most of them were taken before i even came on here. Who said they were thinking of deleting their gallery??i might too
...........damn. If I only still had the picture of me in the red, velvet, slinky number with the open back and the slit up the leg, you'd all see who the sexiest one around here was. Hands down. Oh yes. I feel pretty.
OMG! I never see my name on these things. I'm so happy. I think FunkyPhresh is one hot piece of ass. So are EarthyMama and Indigorainhemp... and my Psyche.... yummmm....
We_All_Shine_On, your photo shows you to be a very attractive young lady... perhaps that's exactly why you don't get compliments or special attention. Most people are not giving these days. I know of some people who get the same treatment. I think it's probably pretty common...
hahaha I bet you look dead sexy do you wear a thong with that, or are you a rebel and wear no undies...tee hee
Wow. Shine_On, I have quite honestly always thought you were very pretty. But, being a girl, I don't usually tell other women they're pretty. I know what you mean about real life carrying over. I have always been a shy, not very self confident individual that was pretty much left alone in the real world. What with my own self esteem issues, even the few people that had tried to tell me I was pretty, it was hard for me to believe. I kind of agree with whoever it was that posted that they were never mentioned in these kind of things and we're happy about it. I am still pretty shy, so, I'm usually happy to not be pointed out as I can get very self-conscious. Although, there is a certain barefootin' hippie that sure does make me feel pretty these days. :&
I have NEVER seen SO MANY beautiful women gathered in one group. Seriously, you are all really, REALLY cute! I'm not gonna bother naming names, just know, if you post here, you're almost guaranteed to be a hottie. Not just physically either. What an amazing congregation of intelligent and socially conscience women. You are all so hot! :bows: "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"
