"You mean like when see a profile where the person is drop dead gorgeous but everything they say in the forums or in a message make them sound abnoxious or dull?? Or the other way - the not so generically good looking but everything they say (or type) makes you feel something good?? Is that what you mean?? " Yep | |||

"I've had my ups and downs on here... moments when I was charming and funny (I'd like to imagine haha) and moments where my pants fell down or I got too lost in arguing turgid stuff. I'm not sure how that reflects on me. But I'd like to imagine it makes me come across as a real person with depth and complexity. There are others on here who do better at maintaining a single persona. Perhaps because they are that way. Perhaps because they're better at vetting what they post. Personally, I don't need people to always be the same. I'm not so anal as to judge others based on a few posts. I get a feel for them over many posts, perhaps over several months. I think that's the "voice" you're talking about " Yep, we’ve probably all had times when we post when we’re horny or bored or whatever, and we say things that only reflect as single dimension of our character. Over time though I think you build a picture of some of the more regular forum members. | |||

"I'm always told on the phone that I have a sexy voice...and a face for radio " The women I chat with off the forums often assume I have a posh voice. I think I've just got a "normal" accent free voice. I'm certainly not fruity. On a recent WhatsApp chat she was so curious to hear me that we each recorded brief snippets of each other. It was amazing because in just a few seconds of her talking I could tell she was attractive to me and I think she got the same. So hearing voices can be a powerful way to get a sense of if there's likely to be attraction there. | |||

"I totally agree. We all have a certain 'voice' when we write. There's a 'music' and a 'rhythm' in the way we express ourselves. It's why certain writers appeal to us and some don't. It's not always what they're saying but how they're saying it that will appeal (or not). It's almost an unconscious thing that we pick up on. It can be a very attractive trait when you find someone who appeals to you in this way." This | |||

"Even more than pictures I find I’m really attracted to some people by their ‘voice’ in the forums or in messages. It also works the other way round too. The way in which people express themselves can attract or repell. I don’t really have any question associated with this. Just sharing a thought. " Oh yes. I don't spend enough time on the forums to have got everyone 'sussed' (rightly or wrongly) but after a while I definitely find myself thinking of a number of regulars according to the qualities their written words convey. So, I'll notice stuff like kindness, inclusivity, respect, maturity, wit, imagination, common sense or individuality, all of which are attractive to me and could potentially make me think 'hmmmm' if I also liked the look of them. Conversely, people whose contributions *repeatedly* (I accept anyone can have an off day) make them seem spiteful, rude, hypocritical, shit stirring or like a sheep whose opinions change from one hour to the next depending on who they're trying to arse lick at that moment, get consigned to the 'urrgghh' part of my head. Having said all that, I'm sure my impression of an individual could be totally different to someone else's - we all have our own way of interpreting things, and that's before you factor in whether or not someone's deliberately trying to project a particular image of themselves. You can't tell for sure until you start messaging one to one, or get to meet them for real at an organised social for example. But I do think forum 'voices' are a good place to start ... | |||

"It's one of the main reasons I have mostly met and interact with forumites - the forums are a great way of hearing a person's "voice" outside of profile blurb or messages (both of which can be to an extent tailored) people tend to let their guard down more on the forums so you get a better picture of what they are truly like. Some of course do create a persona for themselves but for most you can at least get a flavour. There are some popular and generally considered physically attractive forumites whose "voice" on the forums makes them quite the opposite to me - conversely there are those to which their "voice" forms part of the attraction." | |||

"I think that the voice a person uses in a forum depends entirely on the topic of that forum. There's a forum on which I, and others, are playing a protracted game of Mornington Crescent. My voice for that will be much sillier than in this thread which calls for more sincerity. A lot of people will use the same 'voice' whatever the thread subject... and to me that would be the more sincere voice Really? You have one uniform ‘mode’ whatever situation you’re in? I’m probably different in a business meeting than I am at football, than I am screaming ‘it’s behind you!’ at a pantomime or if I’m attending a funeral. It’s all still “genuine” me. I dont play or watch football in the forums But there’s serious threads, lighthearted threads, flirty threads etc You can adapt style depending on the circumstances and still be genuine and sincere! " I only do grumpy | |||

Totally true. And like in real life know your audience! I have friends I can say certain things to and some I wouldn’t dream of saying the same things to. Same here I chat to different people but totally different sorts of chats depending on the person. It doesn’t mean you’re fake if you’re have a bit of empathy on a serious thread and take the piss on another one! take the piss here who does that " Not me. For sure | |||

"Even more than pictures I find I’m really attracted to some people by their ‘voice’ in the forums or in messages. It also works the other way round too. The way in which people express themselves can attract or repell. I don’t really have any question associated with this. Just sharing a thought. " I get what you mean. There’s people I wouldn’t have thought to message until I interacted with them on the forums | |||

"I completely understand what you mean. I much prefer people who can be playful and serious. I'm not too interested in people who only partake in frivolous threads. They seem a bit one dimensional." In that case my reaction to this is twofold. Firstly, and seriously, perhaps the reason why you're not inspired by those who only post to frivolous threads is because you can tell they're only showing one side of themselves in order to try and pull. And secondly, wibble wibble skippedy doo | |||
