Why dont members post more in their profile? — Page 2

Wildcat,I agree I think that it's more imoportant to base opinion on conversational skills and intellect. I have had some fantastic conversations with 15/16 years olds, as well as people closer to my age.. Provided the subject matter isn't inappropriate does it really matter?

I agree, I'd like to read more about who we are.
And I look like nothing like the guy on the right!
(I'm more of a 'guy on the left' kinda guy)

Mind you, the spelling thing is a bit of a giveaway....

Or boobs, right, cam?

When I was younger, I would have said age doesn't matter, but know that I'm pushing almost 30, it just feels different. Sometimes its hard to jump into a conversation 'blindly'. I like to know what our common ground is.
I think playing the "game" of figuring out what type of person you are talking to can be hard work and at the end, may be disappointing. "May", being the keyword.

It doesn't mean "minors" don't have anything good to say, if anything, they add a fresh perspective.

Oh What? Rath..

haha.. I guess I'm just used to people staring at them.. I gave up trying to hide them beneath baggy clothes.. They are nothing sepctacular they are just large..

---

I must admit I was reluctant to disclose my age here for a bit... everyone "seemed" so young... but sometimes I "feel" young. I don't want to be "ignored" by the young'uns 'cause I'm too old and out touch, so I try not to dismiss them either.

---

ElTico, I make no secret of my age here, and some of the people I have the most fun and the best discussions with are quite a bit younger than I, and they know it. Right, cammie?

---

Precisely Rath.. However I'm not as young as some people think I am.

I'm old enough to do it, young enough not to know better!!

**likes that philosophy**

CTurtle-- you look exactly like your icon? Oh, dear... There can't be two Rupert Graves' in the world!! Don't tease!

I like letting people know where I'm coming from when I post an opinion. To that end, a profile can help offer a bit of background and introduction. And the avatars and icons are cute.

I like the anonmity, I guess. I mean, when I PM people, I sign my PM's with my first name, and most people on this board do in fact know my age. I'm not ashamed of how young I am, but I don't feel it necessary to wave about a red flag saying that I'm younger than a lot of people around here. It's been an amazing experience for people to accept me and to value what I say without a preliminary judgement just based on my age. I don't really feel it necessary to post personal information in my profile for people to look up and judge me based on what they see. Chat with me if you want to get to know me. I don't bite.

That said, funny avatar story - I had Raul Esparza once, in a scene from The Normal Heart. I got a bunch of PM's wondering if that was me, and telling me how hot I was.
Yes, I am in fact one of those stunning men in my avatar....

*gasp!*
Maybe I *am* Adam Pascal. I do an awful lot of self-shilling, then, don't I?

... for the record, I'm a girl... making those comments about the Raul icon all the more comical. :-P
