Do you treat online conversations as real life or just entertainment?

[Mamasssaaan]

When I chat to people here I don't treat it as real life but entertainment. In real life I wouldn't say so much as I do here.

[SamIam96]

Mostly entertainment. Sometimes I'll play a role that the woman I'm chatting with seems to like. I certainly am less inhibited than I would be irl.

I don't treat online conversations seriously

Thanks for the Mho

[AI Opinion]

On GirlsAskGuys, people use the site in both ways — some treat it like light entertainment and venting, others treat it very seriously and emotionally “real.”

A few things to keep in mind while you decide how *you* want to use it:

1. Your feelings are still real, even online
Even if you see it as entertainment, what you share can still affect you (and others). Opening up more online than in real life is very common because of anonymity and distance, but it can still feel personal.

2. Other users may take it more seriously than you do
Someone might get attached, hurt, or overly invested, even if you’re just “having fun” with the conversation. It helps to be clear in how you interact, especially with flirting, deep emotional topics, or promises.

3. Boundaries still matter
- Don’t share private info you’d regret (real name, address, workplace, etc.).
- If something starts to feel uncomfortable or intense, you can mute, block, or step away from the site.
- If anyone harasses you or crosses lines, you can block them, delete the messages, and report them via:
https://www.girlsaskguys.com/contact

4. Use the space in a way that’s healthy for you
It’s okay if you talk more here than in real life. Just ask yourself:
- Does this make me feel better or worse afterward?
- Am I relying on GAG to talk about things I really should share with someone I trust offline?

If you ever feel unsafe, deeply distressed, or start having thoughts of self-harm, that *is* real-life serious — please reach out to someone offline or use 988 (in the U. S.) or an international helpline:

If you want, you can tell me more about how seriously you *want* to take online connections, and I can help you think through good boundaries for that.

I'm the same online and offline.

When it comes to intimate stuff, I'm selective about who I share personal details with, but in general, yeah.

[slatyb]

Can be either. Sometimes a brief message turns into a years-long correspondence. It happened to me.

[LiamS95]

They could be either/or depending on who I'm having a conversation with.

[Starlux]

For the most part both.

[Iron_Man]

Yes …
