In psychology it is called the disinhibition effect:

Not real sure about this one. I have met people from these type boards that were complete assholes, that are really very docile and meek in person, who wouldn't dream of being the way they are online with people face to face.

It does say something about ones personality when you see their posting style. What they really harbor deep down inside comes out on an anonymous internet board. What they really think they wouldn't say to people in a social setting or face to face, but say so openly on an internet board.

"While online people may feel they have more opportunities to present themselves as they would like to present themselves, particularly in the carefully composed text of asynchronous communication. They may have more chances to convey thoughts and emotions that go "deeper" than the seemingly superficial persona of everyday living. These opportunities are very valuable aspects of cyberspace, but not necessarily evidence of a more true self. What we reveal about ourselves spontaneously, often right on the surface for others to see but without our being consciously awareness of it, may be just as real and true".

Actually that isn't me. I have respect for someone who stays healthy and takes care of themselves, but simple fact not everyone does. Safe hobbying!

Maybe one of the mods can address this.
Well as we know it was done here and in public for the intention of humiliating larger ladies. It went on with literally 100's of comments and and at times the mods joined in. Remember?? But I do not wish to belittle or make someone feel bad as was intended to full figure girls. I will make a public apology and that's it. I'm not going into the spider hole, I rather keep peace!

Is kind of funny that some of you are agreeing that board personas aren't like real life yet pages ago you said you wouldn't see certain people because of those same personas...
I'll never get the 23 minutes of my life I spent reading this thread back. Began to read because I was sincerely interested to see the responses and it seems like only a few folks even directly address the issue....ijs. It's co-Ed on an escort forum, did it really need to get this strange? Says a lot about online personas, that's for sure!

BTW - This thread is about board personas....

Never mind, I like soft and squishy so I'm gonna imagine them like that.

What a bunch of idiots for trying to fix Wakeup

My board persona doesn't matter to the chicas from the agencies
Just be clean ask what's on the menu and leave my donation and get busy .

Wakeup won't see Hispanic women so that's a plus for them and me.

I wonder if Sarunga and Carkido are the same person, or just the same board persona...
