The other side

By Andeee

Hi there and good morning

Have any of you met other people on QL that turned out to be something completely different to what you were led to beleive about them. i.e they were nice and freindly when you chatted to them on QL and then when you actually started chatting to them by phone or via email they turned out to be nothing like what they portrayed...

Just wondering ????

By snessy• 26 Oct 2010 11:37
snessy

OMG, how did I miss this thread?? This is so true, I have met many QLers and they are certainly not the same as their online persona (I'm pretty sure they think they same about me). I find some people build up a character online because in reality they are actually quite shy or vice versa but this is a way of showing what they are whilst hiding behind a username.

I have met quite a few.... most people match with their on line persona.

In person some are quite... and some are loud.

You need to come over and play football with us tomorrow, if you're interested, I will PM you the venue.

we will meet for a match one day, like i said i have a met a few of QL'rs and had a good time - oh and WK is scary so watch out!! ;0) ... colt if your the opposite of what your like online then im afraid you fall into the nut case bunch!

By Colt45• 26 Oct 2010 07:17

As for the other QLers some were as I expected, others simply floored me.

only MJ got it right.. it's not about who pretends to be what, and what they portray...

it's about how you picture other over their posts...

it is widely known that while talking virtually with the person we create a certain image, but the reality could be completely different. it's not the person's fault, and they don't do it on purpose... no need to judge them.. who are you to judge?

I am sure many would say i am quite b-i-t-c-h-y on QL.. but when you met me, you will know that I am as innocent as a baby.. right, DaRuDe?

brit get your a55 down to Doha ASAP so that I can scare you in real life too :-P

By britexpat• 25 Oct 2010 12:52

I must correct you..

After seeing the laser hair remover ad on QL, my pins are silky smooth and the stockings fit like a glove ...

LostInSpace: We must get together sometime.. It'll be good to talk footy and all things blighty..

WK: I am ofcourse scared of you, but I figure you're probably a nice guy :O)

By anonymous• 25 Oct 2010 12:50
anonymous

Another twist....

Ever thought maybe you HAVE met someone off QL...but didn't know?

In a restaurant, or a mall etc....?

Maybe you walked past them yesterday.

I mean, Doha/Qatar isn't that big....

By gudone• 25 Oct 2010 12:43

i have never tried to meet any1 in QL... coz i found ths hidden identity 2 b more flexible..

the other side is unexpectable

It is almost always the case for me.. most of the time, they are not what I picture them to be..

@ Wk,i beg to differ mate...i'd say it's 50:50 but hey call me optimistic,still it's not true that people are never who they say they are...although i would admit,here on QL,seems like a very small % of people are who they say they are but that is largely because of a lack of self-confidence,anyways,i know who i am,what you see,online or otherwise,is what you get & i'm sure the same can be said for other QL'ers,however smal their numbers may be...

Phone or email is not much different from chatting with them on QL. IMO, it's when you meet the person in real life, is when you can make a judgement about his actual character and mannerisms.

People are not always what they seem online :-( That said, some far exceed your expectations :-)

well said Andeee, some are not what they r in real life too. there r lot of pretenders everywhere

I have met and chatted to few QLrs but when I met them personally it was totally different scene.One of my husband's colleague is always here for posting comments and once his wife told me in general that he is also on QL and his id is this..He places so many posts over here and keep flirting with ladies although he is having such a good homely wife at home.I feell so sorry for his rubbish mentality.

The other one I met is a lady but she not much active on QL.She is having daughter same as mine and we really enjoyed few family picnics to Mesaid and Dukhan.

Last one I met was Santro.She is a nice lady to talk too with very cute kids.A very nice,big,ultra clean and rich house she have.She looks like a greek goddess.To be very frank I really envy her for her good looks.She is really very good at cooking and cleaning.But the way she starts stammering if her husband walks around make her dumbo lady..I think she is full of complexes a lot.But on QL she pretends to be very confident which I really hate.

All the time..

people are never what they say they are..

They are always different to their online persona, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad.

I am assuming that people would be the same on QL, email or phone.

It is only when you meet them in person that perhaps the changes manifest ..
