Have you ever..............

[Debbolas]

Mentioned all the friends you have online at Hot Boat Forum.............to people NOT on Hot Boat Forum and just get a blank stare?
Or tell people that you really enjoyed meeting people you had been talking to for awhile on Hot Boat Forum and just get that blank stare?
What is up with that?!!
:rolleyes:

[GlastronGuy]

No, but I've been mellow.
;)
(No one will get that)

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

they don't recognize me.. they recognize the Mr from the signature I have .. proudly taken by my mrs sandbar junkie herself.. ;)

[Debbolas]

It's weird, they just stare at you, while you try to explain........odd.....:rolleyes:

[Kachina26]

Chatting online=pasty white, mole type geek in people's minds. So when you tell them you met people here they just look at you weird.

[Debbolas]

No, I explained myself badly......
when I meet my great friends from hot boat forum, it is cool, I feel like I know them even though we just met.
When I try to convey this to people that DO NOT POST on hot boat forum they look at me like I am insane!
do you all every get that?;)

[dicudmore]

i generally don't talk to people about the forums.....they don't get it.
aside from that, if they're not boaters then generally I don't need to talk w/them at all....

[Debbolas]

Thats good advice.........they probably just don't get it......good point......:)

[Mrs. Restless22]

Thats funny Ive had that same feeling. I cant place why they dont understand, but that wierd stare seems to happen everytime I mention it!
Whats the difference from meeting new people anywhere? I dont know but in their minds, they think its different.
Oh well.....I like the people Ive met here, so its all good :D

[Kilrtoy]

they don't recognize me
I do, but only from behind

Yea, my wife, but I thint OP6 will bring her around :D

[Debbolas]

yeah, I probably won't mention this to "non-hot boat forum" people anymore.
They just look at you..........and don't get it.
I love talking to people here, and then meeting them is cool, because it is like you know them already.
but good advice, I will just keep it to myself!:D

[Cas]

you should have seen some of the blank stares when I told people I met my wife online :D
In many ways, I think we get to know one another better just because we can hide behind a screen and not be conscience of one thing or another................'scuse me, I need to scratch my ass :D

[Debbolas]

I think the internet is the great equalizer, until you talk to people and get to know them, you dont' know their color, their sex (well except here) their social status, their political status.....
Here you just know what kind of boat they have, if they are male or female and how much time they have on their hands........LOL:D

[Sleek-Jet]

Yep, especially when you start dropping screen names. :D
They nicknamed me the internet stalker at my last job because of this place. :D
