I’m all light an airy on the forums but when it comes to messages I can be a little more serious.

I wouldn’t give 1 to 1 time with someone unless If I think there’s something there or a big attraction.

It also depends on what you mean when you say serious??

exactly humour will keep us going, i mean the virus thread which I've avoided like the plague sorry for the pun but its attracting loads of interest and totally hyperthetical comments based on rhetoric and achieving nothing positive, putting people down because they venturing outside the front door lol what are they going to do hibernate forever, i personally would rather try and make the best of it and carry on as normally as is possible

Prefer serious to the class clown who has to make a joke at every opportunity but is nowhere near as funny as they think they are. Serious usually comes with a degree of insight and intelligence which are no bad thing

I'm quite a logical serious person anyway tbh, I like joking around but can't keep up with the fast paced threads so I don't engage with them. I am losing my temper slightly quicker since lockdown and have sometimes commented when I should have just stuck to perving x

Yeh but I'm a stand up comedian irl so take everything I say on here with a pinch of salt... It is possible to make a serious, insightful and intelligent point by using humour. Satire innit

Oh and I have a valid excuse...I'm hungover.....I shall endeavour to think of a witty retort at some point in the near future.

If you saw half the messages that come through I think you’d be serious too.

I don’t mean in that kind of way where I’m a bore. I tend to only give more in depth replies to those I’m interested in.

A polite no to the rest.

no i think they are a reflection of the medias influence bad news is good for them, we've been saturated with negativity for years and many people have a spontaneous negative reaction as a result

I think people should be how they find themselves.

We are all having VERY different experiences through this and feel/filter things differently.

I can understand that it may be frustrating to witness others displaying behaviour you judge as serious, negative etc .

If you've got that bright side disposition, congratulations! .. hold that space, gently offer your brightness..but don't expect others to be where you're at. Let others be.

I think for the main, most are coping well. Trying to be upbeat even if they don’t feel it. Those who are not are seeking reassurance and support here in the forums, and getting it.

Of course, there will always be those who feel their particular brand of satire, or they are above all this will always loom large - and stick out like twunts as they normally do ...

yes i get your point but i asked this question as a result of those that generally are very serious and its emphasised more because of this situation which i accept is unprecedented and which i also accept that are sitting saturating themselves with all the crap thats going on, maybe these people would do better to take themselves away from the negativity and concentrate on getting through it using every positive means possible, thats my feeling on it........ life goes on

There and to the left a bit

I'm mostly with BikeMonkey on this - I enjoy serious and intelligent debate/conversation and always have done - I actually find sex and sexuality fascinating so enjoy some of the more intellectual conversations that can be had here around that and a whole host of other topics and will veer more towards threads that engage my brain a little.

That said there's also a place for light and fluffy jokey stuff too - just sometimes when the two meet it's not always a good mix

Depends a lot on the context of the conversation of course. I mean if someone posted on here in genuine distress or need(which people do frequently) then there's no way I'd make a crass wisecrack, I'd try to offer some comfort if I could. But on the other hand if some bloke posts some banal shite about how he cant get his leg over and all the women aren't treating him right then it's open season, fire at will and point and laugh time...

Can I ask why you accept it's okay for people to like it dislike your posts, but also start a thread telling others to lighten up and in effect post more like you (or at the very least post in your preferred style).

Is there not a contradiction there?

How can a virus that’s killed almost 10,000 people in the uk alone not be treated as anything other than serious? Unless, of course, you’re suggesting people create a “let’s laugh at covid 19” thread, just so they don’t offend you, while everyone has to keep their (serious) opinions to themselves ? Or did I completely misunderstand the point of your message?

I think there is room for all in the threads. Just choose the ones you like or want to join in with. Most serious people have a sense of humour and most jokers have a serious side. The ones who take every comment literally, treat fab like a court of law, have no sense of irony seem the most exasperated. Live and let live

"I’m all light an airy on the forums but when it comes to messages I can be a little more serious.

I wouldn’t give 1 to 1 time with someone unless If I think there’s something there or a big attraction.

It also depends on what you mean when you say serious??

I think there's a time and a place for seriousness and a time and a place for being a clown.

I had a colleague who thought the funny answer to airport security about what was in his bag was "just a bomb" ha ha....

If someone has just lost a loved one and they come on here to read comments about how this is just population control etc etc I think that's just cruel and insensitive. Making jokes about toilet roll is something else.

Some people seem to be bored and are amusing themselves by trying to "trigger" people. Considering that this a time of high stress, people's future uncertain, businesses going under, friends & relatives sick and dying, being cooped up with cabin fever it's really the last thing we need.

Humor is an important survival mechanism. By all means laugh at yourself. But humour at someone else's expense is just cruel.

You're making the common mistake of assuming everyone is like you or in the same position as you.

No, I don't think people are too serious. They are doing the best they can. Besides, different people have varying ideas of what's funny/amusing. Some prefer the more slapstick, others a slightly different sort. People might be lighthearted but not share the same sort of humour as you.

Sorry, you can't guarantee a person on the streets is not wealthy and chooses that life. I know a couple of people like that, it's a life choice.

Also, black humour is needed. I've known it throughout life it removes some stress. Nurses and Drs are the worst for it, so treat it as it is, and don't judge as you may not understand the back story or the aim

Most humour is directed at someone don’t try and stifle that to much pc in this world

There is though, like the difference between laughing at a politician and laughing at a homeless person for instance...

And that makes it ok then does it?? I personally can’t see a difference but humour is humour.... or can I not tell mother in law jokes anymore for a fear of upsetting all mother in laws

If someone has just lost a loved one and they come on here to read comments about how this is just population control etc etc I think that's just cruel and insensitive. Making jokes about toilet roll is something else.

Sorry, you can't guarantee a person on the streets is not wealthy and chooses that life. I know a couple of people like that, it's a life choice.

Also, black humour is needed. I've known it throughout life it removes some stress. Nurses and Drs are the worst for it, so treat it as it is, and don't judge as you may not understand the back story or the aim"

Yeh but in general homeless people aren't wealthy and there through choice (apart from the made up ones obvs)

"do they need to lighten up, is it this bizarre situation we're in or are they always too serious, even though my situation as a result of this unprecedented situation is looking dire i can still see the bright side of life "

No they don't need to lighten up.

That's how they feel about what they are posting about at the moment they are posting it.

Thank God for variation.

Why not ask yourself if you need to be able to function in the midst of a wide range of personalities rather than comparing them with your own and thinking they should all be you. I like a bit of difference.

We are all having VERY different experiences through this and feel/filter things differently.

I can understand that it may be frustrating to witness others displaying behaviour you judge as serious, negative etc .

If you've got that bright side disposition, congratulations! .. hold that space, gently offer your brightness..but don't expect others to be where you're at. Let others be."

"Les Dawson was the master of mother in law jokes..

I'd say the mother in law joke has a place in the history of working class comedy. Back in the day it was very common for married couples to have to share a space so as you can imagine tension would often build up in the house. The mother in law joke would be a way for lads to let off a bit of steam in the club on a friday night, like "you think you've got it bad? Listen to what I have to put up with..." sort of thing

It's just a question at the end of the day I'm not judging them at all, some people in life over think things to the max, some people question everything and some people are sticklers for the rules and some people just can't lighten up whether you replace the bulb or not
