And yes I am metallica, everyone else has multiple profiles so why cant I?
To add to the intrigue I am also 2 other people on this thread.

two other posters. not people. no such thing as people on an anonymous internet forum (other than the escorts because we know them, well kind of)

Thats just the kind of response I would have made. . . .

Meursault, I just can't get my head around this. The ladies are real, and they know us, so surely that makes us real? Assuming the posters here have actually met at least one of the ladies.

At this stage I feel as if I even know you, after our previous interactions...

You're forgetting Coors light

Oh the cruelty!! That's a VERY sensitive subject
I'll be sure to have my razor with me instead though...

i understand your point but consider these questions

what do i look like? Am i a man or woman? Am i doublejameson or even you? Am i even in ireland as i type?

if you know the escort and they know you then yes what you say carries weight with her. because she knows you face and thus when talking on this website she correlates your face with what you say.

But to the rest of us, we dont know each other visually and thus what we say is irrelevant. Anonymous forums are not a substitute for one on one facial conversation unless we know each other visually.

The mind conditioned with conversation and meeting people assumes the same laws as occur on interpersonal relationships every day. It assumes sub consciously and it is wrong to do so.

The reason there are so many internet trolls is because they wear a mask which is anonymity......

to be on internet forums and using it as a substitute for meeting friends or people is dangerous. the mind needs proper conversation

eifii: i could set up another account and pretend to be someone different and no one would know and more to the point care. If you knew me visually i cannot change my identity. Id have to get plastic surgery

Ker-Ching - that's the sound of the penny dropping as I now get where you are coming from!
With respect to your first paragraph, some of those questions are more important than others. For example, does it really matter to me if you're not in Ireland? If I know you're not, then I would draw inferences from that ie that you would rarely if ever visit the girls on this forum, and so you must have some other reason for participating.
I know you're not me, and I guess you're not Double Jameson, because you employ a different posting style. I could be wrong of course.
What you look like actually matters very little to me; however I understand your point that it is by your appearance that I separately identify you from other people.

When I moved from the UK to Ireland, I could have chosen to adopt a different personality with all the new people I was meeting. I could have been an axe murderer for all they knew. Or is the personality I adopt with my colleagues in the office different from the one I may have when I am relaxed socialising with my friends?
Do you remember a film a few ago called The Illusonist? Wasn't the point of that movie that two identical twins could pass themselves off as each other?

So I am not sure that knowing someone's appearance is a fail safe way of knowing their identity.
Very interesting topic though, how do we ever truly know the identity or personality of those we are interacting with, on here or anywhere else for that matter?
