Ever think about how electronic strangers see you?

We read about how people on Dating sites lie / exaggerate all the time in presenting themselves.

But what about on forums? People are not "presenting" themselves in any way to be contacted, but end up offering a "presentation" of themselves anyway one way or another.

Even if you are being frank, and think you present yourself as you are (or think you are) in the real world, you can still come off to others as being a person you may not recognize as yourself.

People see what they want to see.

How different or similar is your real (face to face) persona from the one you put forward on chat sites?
