Comment interaction is WAY more entertaining than the original post.
The original post is definitely what pulls you in - and valuable! Because you need a vehicle for the initial introduction!
But after that? the comment section is what keeps you there!
Original post - the spark.
Comment section - the slow burn. (all in favor of slow burns, say aye.)
When I originally posted my "introduceyourself" post, (and nah - i'm not gonna re-post it here. If you're interested...you can look it up later LOL) I did it for the fun of it. Just to be different.
Who wants to hear about my real life, when they can hear about a surreal life?!?
so i posted it. and was happy with it.
but then the comments started! and that's where you can see the fun, imaginative, playful side of people coming out.
great banter :)
...and that's where the reeeeeal potential for connections are made!
The original post is one-sided, semi-distant, wonderfully appreciative communication (good)- whereas the comments are the interesting, up-close interaction (so much gooder! tee hee).
The original post is St. Basil's cathedral, while the comments are the little Russian train station cafe that serves hand-made pelmeni. (yummy!)
The original post is Michelangelo's David, while the comments are Robert Downey, Jr.
... yes, you can still argue that RDJ is still "untouchable" but this is my post, and my surreal life. please do not tell me that I will not one day meet RDJ and have pelmeni with him. (so much yummier!!!)
please.
do.
not.
and so in conclusion, I think everyone should read interesting posts. Don't stop doing that. And you should vote on the ones that impress you! Of course - continue this!
But if you've found a live one... definitely stick around and play!
I've yet to be disappointed.
