The Secret Identities have been Revealed



![](http://shsvikingviews.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/mystery-person-original.jpg)


My two favorite moderators, AlexisLinguist and Usagiboy7, have just unveiled their true selves! I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised on both fronts. I did not imagine Alexis as African American, I assumed that Usagi was Asian for some reason and I pictured both of them as being much older. 


Now that I am aware of their actual identities, there is no longer any mystery behind who they are in real life. However, I don't think this will affect our interactions at all. I have learned a great deal from them the past few months, which I am grateful for. I discovered who they are as people by reading their many posts, and chatting with them personally. Physical appearance has little bearing on the more important stuff, like the unique personality that each of them brings to the table via their words and actions. But, now I know they are both attractive people! They are both very helpful, very delightful, and I will continue to hold them in the highest regard.

No secret about my identity


I like fish


and I am a puffin
most likely, with surprise. "who is this," i would think, "and why are they angry at me?". if nothing comes to mind, i'd bellow my name and title back at them, and ask who they were to demand that information of me. i started there not long ago. i like it a lot! great people and really interesting work.

feel free to dm me if you want to chat further. i've flirted with it before. i didn't get much interest. just women that i'm, to be politically uncorrect, way out of their league, at least in terms of the logistics of dating. all the women that i was interested in and messaged, didn't respond. actually what i'd say was going on is this. firstly you need to be aware of the psychology of it, and how peoples' minds work. ie, if you have forlorn selfies, one or two of you pondering the nature of existence in your bedroom, you're not going to get many bites from women. women can get away with being aloof and beautiful like that. men typically have to portray a more social and outgoing image, least that's what i imagine. if you can project the image of social power, then you're going to attract more of it. and i'm sort of eluding to the tragedy of dating websites and dating in general, and their 'unnaturalness'. it's all very calculated, and hardly dreamy romantic if one is check-boxing all the time. there's a lot of tragic people on there, trying to find a means to desperately get away from their tragedy and find that validation or quick thrill they are seeking. like all things, it's a question of intent. what are you true motivations. if one goes there, with innocent eyes, wholeheartedly, and is not there to deceive any body, or escape from anything, then of course, it's just another medium to meet people. the whole hearted thing is important. actually uploading a decent set of photos, putting some thought into your profile, etc. what you put in, you get out, it's not just a case of being there. the same applies to going to social gatherings in general. go to the same event, and make the effort to talk to people and be open, and one will get dramatically different results. also, i think on the positive, it can expand the potentiality of the people you can meet manifold. there's lots of interesting people out there. i really think it's like social media in general. it just fans, positive or negative, what you are already doing. of course, one could make a deeper argument about conscious control in the first place. we think we have conscious control of the happenings around us, but really, conscious 'control' is the mind's means of deluding us into thinking that we're not working to the subconscious forces within us. the truth about my 'rejections' were, i wasn't really into it, i was just playing... sort of, if you're feeling me, to make this more 'down' and gag friendly. they have that double standard thing down, thats for sure. a guy that found me online wanted pics of my tits once. i said no, i don't like to send nude pics, if people wanna see that they gotta see it in person. he persisted. i asked, "can't you just go look at tits on pornhub or something?" his answer was "yeah, but they wouldn't be your tits." i guess there's something different about it being someone you're actively involved with than a total stranger who you will never interact with. The same nonsense goes on in Yahoo Answers. Watch yourself, the illegal lovers are reporting anything they don't like and YA is their willing tool. i seem to be extremely low in person. actually, some people seem to think something is wrong with me since i'm so chill and laid back. that said, i do misbehave more on here but i'm not trying to win any friends on this site. they are interviewing other candidates most likely yeah and that's most of the same time but sometimes their little indeciveness mind gets the better of their mind making them confused if you are or aren't sorry. i wish i could help but i find it weird that people “like” your post and not say anything. i posted yesterday and i was like ok… ummm do you want to look at my book? hah. all the best sir!
