I think Casey was specifically talking about a 1st impression but I personally pay closer attention to the later impressions to see if the 1st impression is consistent or an act.

 

Casey is right, you can't make a 1st impression more than once but I prefer a real impression.

 

Oh, and boobies.

 

There's another angle on this that I found fascinating...sometimes first impressions are the truest because of later rationalizations and the ability of the mind to use its full capacity, much of it unexplainable with logic. This leads to a gut reaction that is often correct, even though there seemingly wasn't enough information to process a result.

 

There's a great book on this by Malcolm Gladwell called Blink.

 

Brilliant. Although I thought people always put much more effort into 1st impressions than any other and I assume them to be more faked than genuine later impressions.

I have experienced this a lot as well. I tend to sit back and just let time do the work.

Absolutely, just like a first date. Everyone has a handy facade that isn't energy-efficient for the long haul.

Pat, I very much appreciate you, you know that...but I did pm John and explain that I grew up in "Da Bronx" and I've heard all of that stuff before, I just don't think we should be teaching English using Rap as a guideline;)

 

I'm glad he agreed not to discuss undergarments again;) We are fine, .

 

I think all of us should treat each other with respect, male or female.

 

Regarding newbies...I really like newbies. I've met some very nice ones. I think newbies are the lifeblood of the hobby. It's great seeing new people join in.

 

It's sad to see that SOME are scammers, but I think at least 2 of them are a shill for Alleybat, so that might be why it's seemed so terrible lately.

 

I still feel like a newbie myself...I'm always learning something here. I'll gladly sit in the newbie corner anytime...you gain fresh perspectives that way.

 

The issue that we have been dealing with the past few days has never been about newbies...it's been about disrespecting those who are different.

 

Really great to see people introducing themselves...I'm going to sing Kumbaya or "We Shall Overcome" (in memory of Pete Seeger) if I don't get some sleep... and I'm going to make Pat, Chris and Logan join me...so I'll give them a break and say goodnight;)
