Thread: The person behind the avatar.

I have met a few people that I knew from online.
But I have talked to them for at least one year and I know everything about them as much as they know about me.
I know better than to meet up some strangers.
it was a bit awkward when we met because we both had a different perspective of each other and we were both wrong...LOL......but now me and her are best friends and that brought us even closer.

and from meeting people out side ummm i have just meet 3 people actually XD and they are LichGRIFFIN and Death Winds and an member who leaved AO for long time ... and they are from my family >_< Death my sister and mamon (he is the member who leaved AO) and lich the are my brothers .. =^_^=

Interesting question...

I do get blown away after seeing a person's real face, when all this while, I'm used to visualizing him/her according to his/her avatar.

Then again, I try not to let the reality image ruin my perspective toward them.

I have yet to meet any online friends in person but ---the most I ever did was communicating with them via voice chat and web cam.

To me.. Online friends should remain online friends. I just don't trust anybody. (Laughs)

Baa...

I don't want to believe that the person dosen't look like thier Avatar. In my eyes aceman67 is Bender!

To be honest, I like knowing who i'm talking to. See if you don't know what the person looks like you can get this image in your head of how you think this person should look like and when you actually see the person, you can be let down. That's why I prefer to know what the person looks like who I'm talking to..

it makes no difference for me what a person looked like since the personality and characteristic behind the avatar was who i am friends with so no it doesn't change a thing for me.

I like personality too...seing the person behind the avatar doesn't change my perception but adds a whole new dimension to it.. I know what they look like for id purposes but to me the most important is having a sense of humor.
