It seems that we never talked together apart from board posting.
Yes, there was never a doubt I have trouble adjusting to the new social dynamics, I rather read a good book, drink, sleep, have sex, make money, spend time talking about bullshit with my real life friends or those few people from online I regard as friends, than to read idiot posts (unless I'm in the right mood or drunk or something).
But you're right, I did spend a lot of time on GFY, I could actually also tell you why, indeed I do have a reason - it's profitable for me - that's life, the opportunity cost is inevitable with everything you do.

Yet from 99 pct. they try to exxagerate exactly everything that you just mentioned in the cyberworld, as they can't face the person in person, they AVOID the judgment by trying to be judged as something different than what they are.
What is wrong with being challenged?
Isn't this what keeps us going? Isn't this what keeps us (or should keep us) working on improving ourselves?
What is wrong on being judged?
Isn't that the only way how to gain reputation if you're a well balanced individual with the appropriate social skills in the right collective?
Everyone has a chance to sensibly answer me, I don't want anyone to hide behind this keyboard, I only encourage a REAL discussion.

Yes, and they better should avoid me! Or I'll make them think about the real life!

That's why porn took off online. You didn't have to fit into some social standards. If you liked double anal, you could get into it online. You didn't have to deal with someone deeming you "inferior".

What are the social standards?
Who sets them?
Is it not the community you belong to?
Will the new social standards in the global village called internet be the most superficial / fake / influenced by a mass of unverifiable user submitted data that are from 99 pct. without any real informational value?
What does it have to do with porn?
Answer me, talk to me!
