On these forums people build up a mental picture/opinion based on what a person writes.
If you found out that the actual person was completely different from your mental image of them, would that affect you at all?
Say Bob was a fantastic poster on here, intelligent, witty, friendly etc, then you found out at weekends he was a football holigan, for exmple, how would that affect you mental image of him?
Would you still give him the same amount of respect on here?
If I found out someone was a football hooligan then yes it would alter my respect levels towards them. If I found out somebody was a mass murderer it would alter my opinon and respect of them.
What about if you found out I was fat? would that alter your opinon of me? I think apperance of girls probably matters more to men than women, even women who are just aquaintances.
