I post every scintillating detail of my *Big Fat Fabulously Mundane Life™ * right here so that I may inspire all of you to not be like me.
I should get paid for doing such a community service.
Meh.
I love a good argument and will argue with anyone on any subject on which I have at least some knowledge. That goes for RL and here on the boards.
I’m fairly straightforward, both here and in RL. I’m pretty much the same way IRL as I am here.
Nah. While some of my friends/relatives know that I post here, none of them read these boards. In any event, even if they did, I’m sure they’ll have no trouble figuring out who I am…

That I’m mostly a nice guy…
IRL everyone knows that I am the president of the Hair Treatment Club for Men.
But only my SDMB buddies know that, well,
I’m also a patron. :eek:
I try not to talk too much about my recreational drug use IRL, especially to family and co-workers.
…good point :eek:
Pretty much what you see of me here is how I am in real life. I also am one of the few here who post with my real name -which isn’t a very common first name. Anyone who sees that here and knows me will think of me first I’m sure.
Plus, my sig line will verify it to anyone who DOES know me.
You’ve lost me.
Does that help?
In my profession (prof.) I make it a point to unload sometimes useless git on my fellow doper buddies. But in the lecture hall…people are generally paying big bucks to be there so I tend to be a bit more interesting and worth listening to. My students do not know I frequent the SDMB and that is a good thing.
Mostly because it’s been asked on the board and is not frequently asked IRL:
when I lost my virginity and how, and other details of my sexual history.
I don’t exactally hide this in person, but it doesn’t often come up in conversation.
I do actively hide how much of a geek I am and how totally sprung I am on my husband,** Drachillix**. I come into a lot of teasing about it, so I tone it down for my friends. They believe I merely love him to pieces.
I have a nephew who’s a Doper, but he’s pretty cool and has never so much as mentioned to me any of my posts and I don’t comment on his.
Ditto that. I’ve mentioned my “useless bisexuality” (I realized it after I was already married, so I’ve had no opportunity to act on it, so to speak) in a few Dope threads. In real life, I think that knowledge of that particular fact is limited to three people, perhaps four. This is solely because that given the “uselessness” of this aspect of my life, I see no point in engendering the controversy that it’s sure to bring if it’s more widely known by the people I spend time with on a regular basis in the non-pixel world.
I also generally avoid discussing contentious socio-political issues with most people in my real life, save my husband. Most of the people in my life aren’t interested in hashing out the finer points of things which do not affect them on a very personal level, and would never want to debate something for the sake of illuminating themselves or gaining a new perspective on an issue. That’s why I find the Dope so very refreshing and appreciate my involvement here more and more.
I don’t know if you read [post=4490395]the Post Your Fetish thread[/post] but I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the green hair.
In RL, I tend to come across as a rather straight-up fellow, although I’m told I tell jokes well.
Very few people who know me personally today know about some of the weirder incidents in my past. I like to think I pretty much got it out of my system, then…
I don’t tell everyone that I’ve worked in retail porn or about the odd sensations that I enjoy (too lazy to cite the thread). I don’t offer just anyone a list of my hobbies and favorite past times. I don’t talk about the threesome I had before my ill-fated marriage. I never tell people that I almost worked in a brothel in Vegas or that I touched a porn star’s fake breast but all of these things I felt you Dopers would enjoy knowing… tee hee! I’m only slightly kidding. It’s very easy for me share online. IRL, it’s hard because the person is RIGHT there in front of you and what if they judge you? My SO knows everything I’ve ever done or experienced, good or bad.
Excellent point. Most people, I’ve discovered, want to talk about themselves or refuse to learn new things. Or just don’t want to listen to me talk about me and all my fabulousness.
Seriously, this place is like a college course of : Life 101-501. Every day.
I learn something new every day and just when I feel its getting old, something interesting comes along.
I real life, I am a moorn. 
No one in real life knows I’m creating (several) languages, although I’ve mentioned on this board a few times.
[hijack]I’d like to take this oppertunity to shamelessly plug the website that the information about my constructed language is on. Click here to see it.
