Are you a real person?
Are you a real person? Apparently this site abounds with fake people. Or something. When I see a man (it's usually a man) complaining about "Are there any REAL people on this site?!" part of me feels like replying ... to give them hope? to justify my existence? To be nice? I don't know. Sometimes I feel like throwing a fit at them too lol. Everybody I know on here is a real person! Except Bob. Bob's not real. Everybody else: You're good. No offense, Bob. An interesting thing.... one of my neighbors a couple years ago told me that I am a "real person". She was twice my age and considered herself not a real person. Almost but not quite. And she considered my next door neighbor not a real person. But me: I've got it down. Her qualification for being a "real person" is that you ... hmm. I really didn't quite understand it. Something to do with not being afraid of the world, getting out and doing things, not needing a 2nd person to make you a whole person. Hobbies. Interests. Perpetually learning. Sometimes I wonder, regarding this site, if those complaining "is anybody real?" ever bothers messaging average people. Or if they only look for the 12's (out of a scale of 1 - 10) and ignore the rest. There are a number of guys I've messaged over the years that never replied back. Oddly enough it's never occurred to me to throw the "he must be a fake" card. Yes, there are fakes on here. Fake profiles. People pretending to be what they're not. But most, I think, are real. Here's an interesting question.... Do you feel like a real ADULT? Or do you feel like everybody around you is an adult and you're just somehow pretending and everybody seems to buy it? I kinda feel like a faux adult. Though I was visiting with a 57 year old friend the other day and she said her came up and complained about that he doesn't "FEEL like an adult. When will I feel like an adult?" and she pointed out she usually doesn't either. I'm curious if it's a Universal phenomenon. I also think part of it has to do with the lack of "milestones" such as the Quinceañera or the Bar and Bat Mitzvah's. Those solid dividing lines "Then you were a . Now you are Man/Woman". |

I think that when we were children, we had an unrealistic idea of what it was like to be an adult. The adults were never as sure of themselves as we wanted to think they were, and they wanted us to think they were.

I am well past the age of bar mitzvah, and I can assure you I don't feel like a real adult much of the time... but I think I fake it pretty well!

Very interesting post! I know exactly how you feel, wondering when I am going to start feeling like an adult...being 50 I think it's called Peter Pan syndrome. But honestly I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I know when to act like an adult and other times I act how I want or how I feel appropriate for the situation. Young at heart, young at mind...or is it vice versa? Anyway, I think there are several things that qualify one as an adult and I have not done any of them, LOL! And if'n ya don't like it then git over to the senior center and start daubing your bingo cards Everyone is on a different plane of intelligence. Some people's plane has not taken off yet!!

Trust me, I'm not fake, however, I am a child. I had to grow up at 14, watching out for others, working and supporting family. Living out the family dream. So YES, I whine, and pout, but also it's fun and gets the stress off my back. Thank You for this post. Newest Poem: What Lies Beneath Newest HNW Post: Latest Story: Sleep Fuck is cumming...

"Captain Awkward" is an example of an "advice column". This form was pioneered in pre-internet days, when they were printed in newspapers. Reader comments were submitted by land mail, and few if any might be printed in the next edition. I discovered "Captain Awkward" because it's on the blogroll at another advice site, "Dr. Nerdlove". On the same blogroll is "Savage Love", another advice site.

Yes, I am adult... However, I reserve the right to act in the manner that I feel appropriate... I can shift gears when my grandkids are around... I also provide the guidance if my children still want it and ask for it... And, I also think that a good lookin' woman is still a good lookin' woman whether I am 18 or 48 or sometime in the future... just sayin'... baziiiiiiiiiiiiing...
