would you?

this thought just came to me lol

after days of me having created threads..responses to others' ..the thought 'how would it be or feel like if I were to meet any one from dxp in real life? offline? ..wait, would I really want it in the first place? 🙂'

all I see..& can see...& have been seeing.. is some pics, avatars..and of course, threads and posts made by people here.. but what would they be really like in person? offline? ..would they react or behave differently from they do on dxp, or all the same? (this question always come to my ind whenever I go and participate semi or full-anonymous sites.. how anonymity affects people? and how much? ..do people consciously separate themselves, their social persona(or -ae) from that(or those) they have & keep in cyberspace..the world of anonymity?)


if meeting up offline thing happens, then would it, the experience, change anything or what?

I think it would be cool. Meeting people in person, after chatting with them on line for so many years could be a catch 22. You might be like, hmmm I was expecting something else.

I actually imagine it like this:

First off let's assume someone here cannot stand a poster of the opposite sex. They don't know how they look, where they live, anything. But they cannot get along at all.

Then they meet in real life completely oblivious to each other dark dxp posting history. They fall in love because chemistry is obviously more powerful than typing on dxp. They decide to marry.

On the wedding night one of them says "Wait a little bit, I need to check this forum I haven't posted in a while.."

Hell unfolds.

I'd pay good money to see that.

Hell? I'd think that would be the ultimate moment of intimacy! The belly laughs would be the most powerful of aphrodisiacs! xD

I know that's how it would go for me, if the other person didn't plan to murder me first.

But for some...oh god
