Which PS personalities do you gravitate towards?

[platinumrock]

WOW, I''m amazed at the sight of such thoughtful and honest responses! Thank you everyone for taking the time and sharing a little bit of yourself. I feel like I know all of you just a little bit better. This is why I created this thread.

And don''t worry so much about hijacking this thread or any of my threads....I don''t mind at all! I actually enjoy the cross-conversations between posters, especially the funny ones.

I also understand that it helps people catch up and get to know each other as well. If you''re having fun, then I''m having fun!
I promise to get back to everyone. I really love reading all of your unique traits and preferences. I already have so much in common with a lot of you!

Carry on, Ladies! And Dancing Fire...

Oh, and Musey, I think I was semi-snarky to you once in the Jewelry Forum. I understand where you are coming from now, and I apologize if I offended you in any way. You seem to be very classy, level-headed and elequent in your posts. I have so much to learn!

Harriet and Lucky, thank you both very much, yes, you remember correctly, and were both very supportive which I greatly appreciated, then and now.

Someone pissed you off? And it wasn''t me? Hmph.

And to answer the question, I hate all posters because I''m a grump.

Gypsy,
I am glad she is gone. We don''t need that negativity here.

TG,
You are always so spot on. You are direct, very funny. But you are KIND. YUP, I said it. You are a nice person.

Hate me now??? LOL!!!!

Just saw your post now Kaleigh.

No, I don''t hate you. I''ve learned that hate takes way too much energy.

How about I just be annoyed?

Seriously though, that''s nice of you to say. I''m fine being kind...my mother taught me to be nothing less. But kind+snarky is SO much more fun.

And coming from one of PS''s kindest, that''s a high compliment indeed.

You''ve never pissed me off T-gal. You just cut to the heart of things, but it''s never malicious.

Kaleigh, ((HUGS)) thank you very much.

I''m lost with all the pots and kettles and such though. LOL.

True story...I once tried to make a point to TGuy that I have a sharp memory. I said to him, ''I have the memory of, what is the saying? I think it''s an elephant?''

Of course I realized what I was saying, but at that point, it was too late. TGuy was in hysterics and saying, ''Riiiiiiiiight. Memory like an elephant. Totally.''

Bah haha!
I did something similar once. We were at the rodeo (What? I live in Texas) and everyone was dancing so I asked DH if he wanted to go "tear the carpet". He was like, "Um.....do you mean ''cut a rug''?"

A girl in the LIW section became the prey of you know who, and Tgal kindly called her out on her behavior, acknowledging that it might be the pot calling the kettle black. Good riddance happened shortly after. I like to think that had something to do with it. She might have been like, "Well SHOOT! If TGAL, of ALL PEOPLE, is telling me to cool it, perhaps I should find a freezer to stick my head in!"

just kidding tgal!

I sure am cracking myself up though.

TGal, you''re like Nyquil. A dose of you can be unpleasant and hard to swallow. But in the end, it''s for our own good. You''re a must-have in our common sense cabinets, roach backback and all.

 

[Gypsy]

ahh... I missed that. I don''t get out on LIW too often.

 

[CNOS128]

Aw, reading this thread makes me feel bad for a post i wrote the other day in the bride forum. (If you''re out there wellinsm, i''m sorry!).

I don''t think I gravitate toward specific kinds of personalities, but there are some that turn me off completely. I have a hard time reading really rambling/scattered posts or communicating with people who don''t share my sense of humor, for instance.

What I think is interesting is how different my own personality is on PS than in "real life." In my day-to-day interactions, especially as I train to be a litigator, I''m told over and over to be more assertive - I''ve actually been told to practice this. Because my natural tendency is not to be terribly assertive, it''s a struggle (and sometimes it come out as aggressive). However, without the face-to-face contact, it''s easier.

Makes me wonder how different these personalities that I''m drawn to (or turned off by) are outside the realm of the internet.

HI:

I tend to gravitate toward heavy drinkers.....

And free spirits. No pun intended.

I like change and prize sincerity/integrity above all else.

All tipsy, funny, changlings need apply!

Gypsy, I remember that post/poster. Good riddance indeed.

Gypsy--I remember, and to that poster I say 'good riddance'! I'm glad she took a hike because I don't think I could have held it in much longer. She had you allllll figured out though, didn't she?

I'm sure you don't want to rehash it but I couldn't resist commenting because to this day I'm still basking in the glory of her absense. That's how much tongue-biting I did.

So needless to say that's the type of personality I DON'T gravitate towards.

Musey, I hope I didn't piss you off with my Katy Perry comments.

Anyway, I gravitate to the posters I find interesting in one way or another. Just an example, I find TLH hilarious in a doorknob solitaire kind of way. TLH, I cyber-stalk your posts. Nice to meet you, I'm luckystar.

Besides that, I gravitate toward people that have a great 'storyline', who are in similar walks of life with me (like if you were a LIW with me, or if you were planning your wedding at the same time), who I have things in common with, etc.

I think my PS personality can be kind of dull. lol. I like reading a good vent thread over a lovey-dovey type thread. I like a little snark every once in a while. Unless you're a career snarker. I know some people don't like ATW, but I do. Perhaps the joke is on me but I tend to think that everyone at least likes me.

I mean, I obviously like them--and I wouldn't hang out there if I thought they were idiots. hmmmm what else? I'm drawn to smart people. I'm drawn to sweet people. I'm drawn to RESPECTFUL tell-it-like-it-is people like Tgal. I'm attracted to the moms, since that is my next stop in life. That's about it.

Hi luckystar!

Nice to meet you. Cyber Stalk away... makes me feel almost famous!

I gravitate to people who don''t take themselves (or others) too seriously. I also appreciate those who can be open minded and those who are not petty. If someone can''t take a joke, then I probably wouldn''t know how to feel comfortable around that individual IRL.


I like: funny, quirky, sweet, kind, smart (but not necessarily intellectual), interesting, inquisitive, outgoing (b/c I am not IRL), life-of-the-party types

I dislike: judgmental, obvious, snarky, pretentious, know-it-alls

but i still love ya.

Darn. Nothing gets past you!

 

[Shoopy]

When I first started over on the LIW section, I would seek out very supportive cheerleaders to make me feel better.

Then purrfect gave me a verbal smackdown once and I went home all upset. Mr Fiery asked me what was wrong and I mentioned everything she had mentioned to me in the post.

It was one of the best and honest conversations we had ever had.

So now I gravitate towards those few that really speak their mind and are honest about how they see situations. There are a handful of those psers out there (mostly ladies). It''s making me a little big tougher which I really appreciate.

But I''m still a softy

I''ll second this--I got smacked around too. Purrfectpear has an uncanny ability when it comes to putting LIW-itis into clear perspective. BUT that''s why I think she''s great.

HA! My DH loves to take pictures where he strageically plants the picture so it looks like I have no clothes on. He's a goof.

Thanks for calling me hot... made my morning!

 

[steph72276]

Hmm, well let's see.
I am pretty outgoing IRL and have lots of friends
I can be a bit sensitive at times
I'm very easygoing and it takes quite a bit to get me really mad
I try not to sweat the small stuff in life
I like a good political debate, but only when done respectfully and not in the condescending, I can google a few statistics so I'm smarter than you type of way (think that's why lots of people have stated they avoid ATW, which is a shame)

I tend to gravitate to those posters that are kind and respectful, which is probably about 98% of people on this board.

I'm glad I'm an auditor because I was able to find the LIW post and figure it out.

And that is how I keep Mr. Fiery on his toes.

P.S. Can you tell how nosy I most be IRL if I actively searched for a thread that was part of a conversation that had nothing to do with me?

Musey ... two key words have come up "pot" & "kettle" ... think there are a lot of LIW threads with those words in them? A quick search might be in order.
