Am I attractive?

Just for an experimental purpose. Someone here told you have to give good titles so that you can be responded. Let's see if it catches some eyes.. And it's more about being attractive in what shows on mylot rather than what seems to eyes.
I love fun discussions, so would go there every now and then. But ridiculously my responses don't come off to be funny. They are dry and serious. Is there any way I can change my pattern so that I could enjoy this all with more humour? And is there any cure to people who start cursing before even realizing that you were actually praising them ?
I would like to rant more and more but that is banned in by book of attractiveness. So shut up. Now, you tell me. Do you think we must be more open and thoughtful of others here while discussing, or will the physical attractiveness do the trick? I have seen some people who are really superb looking and they know how to use it!

@hora_fugit What you've written there, YOU, is not necessarily true. Dangerous people might have a nice personality and they might not.
In order to find out, you will need to get to know the person first.... but once you get to know the person, there is an 80% less chance that the person will prove dangerous to you! Once you become friends with someone, they no longer are willing to hurt you, since that would hurt them, in turn....
Do you understand what I am saying?

Hmm... Okay, @hora_fugit , let me take this one step at a time.
Are you attractive? If I am being honest, yes, you are an attractive young man. (IF both the picture and your avatar are actually YOU! and not someone else you have stolen that picture from. Huh... That is the picture your avatar is made from, isn't it? Interesting!)
Please understand, an attractive avatar or picture can be someone else, so online, we cannot tell if that is really the person we are talking with or if they look totally different. What we must go by is how attractive is the way they write? Do they open fun/interesting/engaging topics to be discussed? Are they consistent with the information they share with people when talking about themselves and others? Does that person talk about people behind their back? (That one can be just as tricky to find out online as it is to find it out off-line. Mostly, we can't know in either situation, unless someone they have talked to tells us.)
I do understand the problem you face when it comes to interjecting humor into one of the discussions on myLot. (In my case, I don't always notice the emoji's being used by others to denote that their comment is not meant to be serious, so have taken offense from it when I should have noticed the emoji's. Even when I do notice the emoji's, I might still give a serious response intending it to be funny, but it is not perceived that way.)
Obviously, I cannot help you with that difficulty, YOU. (I actually don't think there is anything wrong with the way we respond to comments left by others. I think others don't try to pay attention to the nuances we put into the comments that make them funny.)
Unfortunately, no, there is nothing that can be done about people who don't stop to think before they explode and spew their filthy mouths all over the page or screen when it is not warranted.
It is always important to be cognizant of who the person is that you are speaking with and where they are from. It is easy to offend someone without ever meaning to do that. The best advice I can suggest is to always be polite to others. If you are unsure what kind of response is required, speak/write as formally and politely as you can. Almost every person will recognize the extreme care and reticence you display (even in your writing) when you do this and make allowances for you.
Am I helping you at all, YOU, or have I muddied the waters even worse?

No idea where the notification for this one might have gone!
Ahhh.... those were the days when I still had all my faculties intact! Now this avatar is my last resort to look interesting in this land...that too falling now.
*muses*

@hora_fugit I don't understand... Why do you believe your avatar is failing at looking interesting?
If I may say, it is not the avatar that I look to before I speak to a person. I look at how the person speaks to other people before deciding if I will talk to him/her! (I know you may think it was your blinking eyes that made me speak to you the first (and the fiftieth) time but it was you that made me speak, not the avatar.
How can I convince you of this, YOU?
Did I see your avatar when I sent you an email recently? No! I thought of the man I wanted to get to know better when I sent the email!
I am curious if the avatar is really you, but will not ask again. You will show me the real you when you believe I care about the person behind the avatar and not the avatar, itself. I can wait.

One picture does not deter me to comment on a post or not. It is what they write that attracts me. If I have something to say, I will comment. Otherwise i read and move on past.

For some people, even if I don't have anything to say, I manufacture and say something. Just can't let them go uninterrupted. :))

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder right?
Titles are important in my opinion too just like the covers on a book. However a good title does not always mean that the rest has something to chew on and if that is the case time and time again, no matter how attractive the avatar or the title are, responses will start to become fewer and fewer...
I think if we are oursleves without trying to be what we are not or acting the part then that is what will win over time. My favourites here are consistent and are always themselves. Some have great avatars and to my eyes are attractive... but then they might not be to others

Thanks for replying:)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Well my eyes are almost of no use now, that's why I don't find any beauty now a days....
Of course it'll be foolish to just rely upon outer attraction while all the time 'baiting' people And being oneself..well, guess that depends how good that 'self' is

Yes you are, I like the way you close and open your eyes. You have a nice avatar. I would post something like that too hora_fugit. And your title really catched my attention, for we are both the same. I am attractive too.

The young man in the photo is nice looking. Is that really you though?
I never post personal photos of anyone I know or myself, this is a cyberworld where no one really knows who is behind that avatar, although once we spend a couple years corresponding we can come to trust someone.

Smart @hora_fugit it's much safer not to post photos of oneself.

Yes, you're attractive! lol.
I'm very happy that you're an expressive type of person. You're such a jolly, right? lol. Yeah, I do appreciate on that.
Sometimes, I'm just actually posting discussions here which are interesting enough because some of our co-mylotters would choose the best one. And we cannot force them to respond our discussion.lol... Yeah, So what I did is just responding also the best one.. That's it. Just what you did also...
First time I received a responses of 100+ last week and my topic was quite simple yet interesting! I hope I could also post some discussions interesting.
Happy myLotting hora_fugit!
