I've read and followed a bunch of LJs over the year I've been on here. What I've found interesting is that it's really not much different than "real life" except that there is a veil of anonymity (sp) that allows for more candid topics to be discussed. Also, there are people that would almost never associate with each other because of looks,

It is a good thing :)

...how else would I get to know a little about a nice Canadian gal ;)

You know, it might sound dramatic, but I really don't know where I'd be if I didn't have LJ and internet friends as an outlet.

There is so much that I have learned from this form of communication and I've "met" so many people that I consider a part of my intimate life even though I've never met a number of them. And yes many of us are coming from completely different lifestyles, careers, status....and it is wonderful because we would probably be too scared or hesitant to interact in "real" world.

Do you feel that what is generated through the internet is translated to real life? Like the people that hesitantlly post photos of themselves and then get all sorts of nice compliments, do you think this lends them confidence in real life? Or do you think that those who write really intimate journal entries learn how to communicate better with those who surround them?

You pose a question that I've also pondered a bit. I'd like to hope it does. I've seen some women that were a bit timid about their appearence...perhaps even recently slighted by a lover or boyfriend/husband who thought they were unattractive. After some encouraging words from for the most part, strangers, it seems they found some renewed confidence. :)

Of course, as mamygirl points out with some sarcasm (nudges mamy) some guys just want to see boobies LOL. However, I'd really like to think that the majority of compliments are genuine. The fact that they take the time to say something, rather than look and move on has to mean something?

by the way...the above is my comment (wiseguy)...I'm just not signed in LOL

lol, or it could just be that the men that sit on the internet hopoing for girls to post naked pictures of them are typically desperate enough to think that anyone is pretty, so long as you can see their tits. ;)

I almost keeled over when I saw you'd posted. Wow.

I miss you! :(

Hehehe...well, i had something to say for myself. I almost keeled over when people replied!! LOL But then again, I do have some very nice people like you that I've developed friendships with.

...and no, boobies in themselves don't make a woman pretty...but I think smiles, eyes, attitude, personality do...and I believe these things all come through together at times in pictures. Also, "perfect" physique is not necessary to be attractive. In other times, more "fleshy" woman were considered the standard by which attraction was "judged".

Overall, I was commenting on the good nature of many, and the encouragement to those that venture forth to display themselves. :)

Miss you too!! ...we are never on chat at the same time :(
