You can text and message someone for ages but do you actually know their personality or their humour from this medium I think not

For most people, you can get a good feel for their personality via messages and texts. If they're not capable of getting at least a bit of their sense of humour or personality across via written messages then, even if they're lovely in real life, I wouldn't be taking it any further to find out.

I've been chatting to someone who seems great.

Then a side of their personality, that I don't like, was revealed whilst texting.

Most people I have met have been as I expected,on meeting in person. It's why I like to chat a while before meeting. That doesn't mean to say they won't do or say something to put me off,but that is very rare for me.

Yes, people I chat to regularly I think I have a good feel for their personality I can tell when their in a serious mood, stupid mood, grumpy mood.

If your talking about someone I'm getting to know purposely for a sexual thing, then obviously they won't reveal the negatives about themselves. I have to use my own judgement if they put me off by something they say I won't take it any further. But I don't necessarily think that's a reflection on their personality.

As for texts, I text to say what I've got to say and that's usually it, I don't use it as a form of general chat

It gives me a pretty good idea. I tend to be quite shy at first in real life so it's good to know someone through messaging first; it helps me skip the whole awkward not saying anything phase since I already have a slight handle on who they are and vice versa.

I think you can only get an idea of a person until you meet them. Lets face it, if they are trying to get into your knickers there is a certain amount of flannel going on anyway.

I don't engage in sex talk before I meet someone. If they aren't willing to get to know me by talking about their crap day,the price of bread or how cute puppies are,I don't talk to them.

You can tell what sort of image they wish to portray,which indicates their values and taste to some degree.

For me anyone bragging about not giving a f##k what others think indicates a rather self centred sort.

It's the only medium you have to gauge compatibility so use it wisely.

I've met foreigners and dyslexics and had a fantastic time. It's not how they write it's the intonation and personality that comes through via type.

Getting your personality across on forums or texting is probably the most difficult thing you can do, you get a feel for people but until you've met them in person, you can't really judge them.

I think some people are easier to "get" from text than others. Everyone may seem a bit different in person, but to what degree really depends on how good someone is at expressing themself through writing.

right, if someone said to you, you have to meet six forumites for a social(at different times) how would you chose which six to meet if you didn't use your judgement. I would chose the six I thought I was going to have a good laugh with and have something in common with. They may turn out to be not what I expected. But I'm not going to chose someone I don't like to start with

if this is all about you getting blocked for your overuse of them then if I hadn't already blocked you I would of. If there was a block button to hide the bloody things I'd use it I have to really on blanking them out my eye sight. I'm assuming you have no interest in meeting me but I can certainly see why some you are interested in would block you for them.

Ah I see why you asked now, someone doesn't like your emoticon overload.

To be honest, it makes the posts hard to read sometimes and if it wasn't for the fact I have to read every post I might pass yours by at times .I know we are not looking to meet each other obviously but it obviously puts people off who may be thinking about it. Although like I said you can't know what people are really like until you meet them, but you have to decide who you fancy meeting to see if they are OK in real life and there will always be something to put people off when chatting to them, be that smileys or text speak etc etc

Whatever reason it is, it is good enough for that person

"You can text and message someone for ages but do you actually know their personality or their humour from this medium I think not "

I have a forum persona. I am much more up for banter and discussion on the forums because I am using them to unwind and pass the time, very different from meeting. I have met a couple of forum users in person, and they are much more mellow than their forum posts, so I can see that its all tongue in cheek. It may be different for those who spend more time here?

But it is valid for the person knocking you back.

So what you are saying is, if first second or third impressions make you think to yourself " I wouldn't want to meet that person as he/ she does something that annoys me " you still expect them to waste their time meeting you in real life when they could be meeting the people who you are liking from the outset? I am not sure anyone would have enough hours in the day to meet every person who asked them.

I can't understand why you can't accept that some people won't like what you write and that will influence how they pick whether to meet you or not and concentrate on the people who may want to meet you.

I expect the 'i haven't got time' thing when they are still posting in the forums means they'd rather be posting in the forums than sending messages to people they don't want to talk to

i dont think you can learn a huge amount from text and messages, but i certainly think i can learn all i need to. if something seems trivial to you, im sure you have your own reasons for not wanting to meet someone that might seem trivial to them! for me, masses of emoticons appears very teenage, childish, so yes, that would put me off, the same way grown men describing themselves as 'lads', or 'boys' puts me off...and i've got a raft of even more 'trivial' reasons for not wanting to meet someone..

It's the same as when some people complain that no one will give them a chance due to them saying 'they aren't their type' looks wise but they are sure if they met they would change their minds

Most people on here haven't got time for endless socials and meets on the off chance that they might be wrong about someone wether it looks or personality. So we just go by what we see/read. I haven't been wrong so far. There's been people I've felt like we should meet and have and it's been great.

I personally wouldn't judge someone on spelling/grammar/use of emoji's, it would be more in how they actually messaged and chatted, ie, do I find some things they say bit below the mark etc

But it is valid for the person knocking you back.

So what you are saying is, if first second or third impressions make you think to yourself " I wouldn't want to meet that person as he/ she does something that annoys me " you still expect them to waste their time meeting you in real life when they could be meeting the people who you are liking from the outset? I am not sure anyone would have enough hours in the day to meet every person who asked them.

I can't understand why you can't accept that some people won't like what you write and that will influence how they pick whether to meet you or not and concentrate on the people who may want to meet you.

It's the same as when some people complain that no one will give them a chance due to them saying 'they aren't their type' looks wise but they are sure if they met they would change their minds

Most people on here haven't got time for endless socials and meets on the off chance that they might be wrong about someone wether it looks or personality. So we just go by what we see/read. I haven't been wrong so far. There's been people I've felt like we should meet and have and it's been great. And a few that I think are twits and have met at parties etc and I still think they are twits now "

but any you met you thought were twits that you thought were ok or can that not be an admission ?

I think you can get a fair idea of a persons personality via texting and sending messages...

obviously some people are better at it than others, and there are often crossed wires but in general it works for me...I can tell more or less straightaway if its going to work or not

Yup - it totally depends how machiavellian they are being. If someone is being open and honest a large part of the personality will come across, the best of it anyway - everyone will try to play their flaws.

If they are unskilled they will usually shoot themselves in the foot sooner rather than later. But some skillful people can totally deceive, and it is relatively easy to do behind a keyboard.

It is true for a lot of us, otherwise we wouldnt have met the people we all have. If you don't connect when chatting, you just don't connect. If we think we connect then thats where we would take a chance and meet up. It may work out, it may not, but at least you know initially you like the sound of them.

At the very beginning when we were finding our feet we chatted to one man and I said I really don't think he will be what we wanted by the way I had to drag conversation out of him but the MR thought it was worth a shot, so we met him and as much as he was a lovely man, we still had to drag the conversation out of him which didnt suit us. From then on we only met people who we connected with in chatting .

If you say you think you come across better in real life, have you tried the socials?

I still think, you still won't be to everyones taste in socials, just like on the site and it is something you need to accept rather than keep pushing people to answer mails/ meet you just because you want them to

Depends on the quality of the messages.If it's just a lip service "How are you doing" then you won't get much of a feel for a person.I only give as much of my personality in messages to people that I feel I want to.Just because people message and reply doesn't mean that they allow that person to know them.I have got to know people through messages but also have decided that I don't want to know them any further.

You can get an idea of the person they are trying to be sometimes but really you can often tell very little from txt messages. Even if you are genuine you may struggle to get your point across using txt and I know I have been misunderstood many times while txting. Face to face is the best way and even then you might not get to really feel like you are getting to know the person.

You say you dont think people should block you because you put too many smileys up and that people won't give you a chance as you are better in real life but the thread isn't about you?

The "tip toeing round the mod" is a popular misconception and why I don't get involved in debates much as people either won't debate or goad the mod to stop joining in by saying the likes of "I mustn't answer them as they will ban me" which spoils it for me as I find that childish...tis a shame really as I like a good debate.

I have quite a lot of free time probably more than a lot. But how on earth is someone expected to meet every single person that shows an interest in them.

Are you honestly saying you meet everyone that messages you? You like every single person that messages you? Your attracted to every single person that messages you?

If i can't work someone out via messaging then i simply won't be meeting them. I don't have much time to meet so i need to be sure before meeting. I really don't care that i could be missing out on some really great guys using this approach as i don't struggle to find suitable people to meet. well you are a sexy married lady so time is precious I have quite a lot of free time probably more than a lot. But how on earth is someone expected to meet every single person that shows an interest in them.

Are you honestly saying you meet everyone that messages you? You like every single person that messages you? Your attracted to every single person that messages you? I don't dislike anyone and don't meet everyone I chat to but would if they wanted to its not all about sex for me ,people say meet at a club for a social but not bothered about the club thing really too expensive and as a result not something any guy can do regularly and I'm not interested in one offs

Hotels can be just as expensive for regular meets with the same person, surely?"

look everything costs money and in your case you live near a club that costs £10 to get in its affordable for you and you can have fun in public I prefer as you know more of a connection ,we all do what we feel comfortable with I like meeting people every meet is a social event wether it goes any further or not but meeting is the only true way to judge a person

"i dont think you can learn a huge amount from text and messages, but i certainly think i can learn all i need to. if something seems trivial to you, im sure you have your own reasons for not wanting to meet someone that might seem trivial to them! for me, masses of emoticons appears very teenage, childish, so yes, that would put me off, the same way grown men describing themselves as 'lads', or 'boys' puts me off...and i've got a raft of even more 'trivial' reasons for not wanting to meet someone.. ok fair enough I don't deny the emojees have pulled a couple of chains but I use them solely to find my messages in threads

My own posts are highlighted blue both on laptop and phone. I thought everyone's were like this?"

they are

that is not what you said. If I'm chatting properly with someone with a view to meet unless it goes tits up I will meet them. I've already sussed out whether I like them or not to carry on chatting. Your on about meeting people to give them a chance because their personality doesn't come through.

"The "tip toeing round the mod" is a popular misconception and why I don't get involved in debates much as people either won't debate or goad the mod to stop joining in by saying the likes of "I mustn't answer them as they will ban me" which spoils it for me as I find that childish...tis a shame really as I like a good debate.

I'll argue/debate/discuss with you: why do some folk put after their own post? Surely it is up to A. N. Other to give it a as this indicates agreement. It's your post so obviously you agree with it.

I don't like to use smileys much so that softens my post where a smiley would. I am not really thumbing my own post as great but I do agree with what I say so I suppose it is the right emoticon

Or should that be "

No, no it shouldn't *disapproval mixed with annoyance emoji*

I think my original thread got lost in translation but its true to say some women not all block within one or two messages and in many cases if guy leads with sex justifiably so but you can't judge personality accurately in a text so my new point as this wasn't the original thread is women cut good guys off for very little reason ,you didn't answer when I asked how many guys do you have decent conversations with that fancy you and visa versa and that you've still to meet ?

I think you made it about you, I also know there is no solution to what you want.

And to answer your question, if I fancy someone and they fancy me and we get to know each other unless they live the other side of the country why wouldn't you meet them. Well that and finding the same suitable time

"You can text and message someone for ages but do you actually know their personality or their humour from this medium I think not "

It's not a dating site. I know from messages if I want to shag them or not. I don't need to know their personality or life story.

I was txting and speaking on the phone to a fabber regular, we got on great, had some laughs. When we actually met it was a disaster, didn't click at all sexually, and all I wanted to do was go home, which I did. So my opinion is no you can't tell always till you meet someone as sometimes they are not what they seem behind a phone or keyboard.
