With no exceptions except tallnhairy, who is actually very short and bald, everyone has lived down to my expectations. 
Seriously though...
as you were, to hell with seriously. ;)

IRL - Book is better than film, the pictures are better. However, when we're talking 'net acquaintances.... pretty much every one I have ever met in person, after knowing them on-line, is exactly how I expected them to be.
BTW, this is very, very far from my first forum.
BTWx2, someone from this forum was a great dissappointment when I met them in Nottingham. Avatars are not all thery're cracked up to be.

:lol: :lol: :lol: When it comes to books vs films, there are very few films that match the book. Meeting people from here, well it's nice to put a face to a name and yes sometimes the face can be a little bit of a surprise.

Dpnt be so bloody daft woman
If we didnt like you we'd just bloody well say so....some people :roll: :lol: I'd agree with Judy on this one, but with an addendum.
Writing and exchanging ones thoughts can be very intimate in a way meeting someone in real life often isn't. Social situations do tend to have a set of unwritten rules in terms of what we reveal of our inner selves.
But in the discussion that occurs more than occasionally in the forum and certainly via PM and e-mail opens us up in a way that exposes many of our inner workings, attitudes, fantasies, dreams, loves, hates and everything in between.
So I believe both are very different forms of communication that add to the 'grand total' of knowing someone.
So my vote is book AND film.

In some ways I actually find it easier to communicate on a forum than in person.
There's probably a lot of reasons for that. Certianly in part due to the fact that a forum conversation has more obvious breaks in it where you can inject your own words of wisdom or, in my case, complete bollox.
I've been on a fair few forums over the years, but I've met up with folk from two of them. One lot I just didn't gel with, the other lot I'm still friends with long after the forum has died some good few years later.

Love imagining people in here and what they will be like lol. So funny when I go to munches and see you lot. I have never been dissappointed!!!!!!!! Just sorry that there is never enough time to really get to speak to all the people I want to...................till the next time..........................
I agree Corrie, just not enough time to meet everyone. Some charming people on here. I would love to hear more about their lives, their exploits......Mmmmmmm! Swinging Heaven - the book???

Hiyas xx
I must say I have met with a large number of people within this site as well as others xx
On the whole I go to meets with an open mind xx
I try not to imagine how peeps are in my head as at times they have been nothing like I could have imagined xx
I do not take looks etc into count when i meet peeps. xx
Some people use these sites to be how they wish to be in reality but haven't got the confidence within theirselves or life has dealt a different set of cards. xx
i think its great to always read the book first then see the film xx
As with all things some are better others not so good but you havew an insite into this person alrady xx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thats it ...you was expecting a nerdy Bill Gates .......instead you were confronted with Bill Sykes's dog Bullseye.......
Oh and the girls both look like me, which is a shame cos a shaved head is a bugger to attatch pretty hair grips to.......
I guess that the book helps us set pictures and form opinions about character, however I have found that meeting people in the flesh helps when I'm reading their posts, their on line personna becomes more animated in my mind as I am able to associate body language that I've seen them use with the words..... if that makes any sense

Yes that makes one hell of a load of sense. :thumbup: I know exactly what you mean there.
Trouble is I don't know which is more scary, female davejs or the fact I know and understand exactly where you're coming from. :shock: :shock: :P

Spirited Away is quite right. How a person posts on the Forum gives us all an insight into how their mind works and that is a very intimate thing. It means that you know the person pretty well before you even meet them. Having decided, from their posts and the parts of their personality that they betray, that you like someone meeting is merely a confirmation of what you have been thinking. The people I have met at Munches and such like in the past have all been every bit as wonderful in the flesh as they have been in the Forum and are now some of my dearest friends. Sappho and I were desperately disappointed not to have made it to the Notts munch and make some new acquaintances.
Sappho and I both joined the Forum last November (so we have just had our SH anniversary) and met each other for the first time in January. We already knew that we were on exactly the same wavelength as each other and had high hopes of our meeting. It was a scary thought that things might be more than a little disappointing. In fact nothing could be further from the truth and look what happened :shock: :inlove:

I have gone on and on again, haven't I? :doh:

Well said Will, I certainly couldn't have put it better myself.

:P As with all books I turn to the synopsis on the inside sleeve. The glimpses we get of the personalities on the forum are pretty revealing in themself. And yes, the pictures posted after munches and parties give a fair idea too. Got to admit my original impression of some people cancels out the *first impressions are lasting impressions* school of thought.
For me so far the film has pretty much matched the book :thumbup:
Though I did meet someone who exceeded all expectations. We're talking *move over Brad Pitt* here.
If you're coming to Blackpool you'll see what I mean :twisted:

OOOoooooOOOOOOOOooo... you wicked, wicked woman...
All of us with fragile self esteem issues will be thinking 'ut oh, she means me...'
But then it sounds like you are looking at the exterior and not the interior... Using the book analogy... If inside the covers is really interesting, intelligent and funny then the exterior becomes more and more attractive. Don't you think so?
:P
