Do People Think About Their Handles?


I swear to you, if people thought about the handles they chose in advance, a good number of the would never see the light of day.

Tonight, I'm in chat. So far, I've seen two very odd ones. The first was vulvaboy. Now, I don't know about this guy, but aren't boys supposed to have penises and not vulvas?

The next was juicyassdiane. OK, I know it's just me, but if a person's ass is juicing, isn't that supposed to be a bad thing? There was just something about this handle that made me feel queasy.

Now, I have met people who have changed their handles after their first meet and greet. They just felt odd introducing themselves with handles like BigDick4U or HotSnatch. These are examples, I have no idea if these two handles are in use.

So dear readers, I ask you. Did you put thought into your handle, or did you just pick anything?

I went for a video game name with the sexual connotation and the system added the 41

I thought the wild and free sound of a Mustang was a nice image, and a favorite color is red; then I added the number 91 for my postal zipcode first two digits. Plus I own a red 2003 Mustang Cobra so it made sense to me.

I followed the link to A ff from another site, maybe Friendfinder, (I had an ad there prior to this) and in order to look around the site you had to create a profile. So I thought oh geez, now what...just, just, just say hi! The original was justsayhi2003, I joined November 1st 2003. In chat it was shortened to "Justy" by CB in the NY area room which preceded the Philly/TriState area room. I became JustSayHi2006 about a month ago when my 2005 version was deleted.
I thought of changing it altogether but I kinda like it and couldn't think of anything more original.

nightstalker, I'm not surprised that people would think you're dangerous, based on the handle. Most people will think Richard Rameriz, the Night Stalker, who terrorized Southern California, and murdering women. He claimed to be killing for Satan. I however, think of the 70s TV series, "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." I hear they're reviving it, but I haven't seen the new series.

digdug, I remember the computer game. So I didn't even think of any sexual connotation to your name. It just reminded me of slow days in an office, playing DigDug on a Dos system.

redmustang, I already guessed you owned a red Mustang. Lucky guess, eh?

some of my personal favotites over the years...
asssofat (F)....so fat that what? Are you TRYING to scare guys away?
AzzslappinBoy (M) ... funnt thing, despite what his name would imply he wasn't gay.
greeseball (M) umm yea...good way to describe yourself dude
tonsofcum (M) cause ya know....women just LOOOVE a guy that shoots buckets of goo everywhere. I have never once heard a girl complain about the lack of sperm her man produces upon ejaculation, much less say that she wants a man who can fill up a 2 liter.

there's lots more...but i can't remember em all lol...good post thread though lol.

I can't tell you how tired, SO tired, SO FAST, I got of all the lame, same jokes made at my old screenname, I_might..I should have known, but didn't. Looks like I picked another winner, since half the male CityHookups.com'ers seem to think it reads Casual and not Cause..**groan**

oh yeah, must tell you, the absolute worst name I saw here included tedbundy in it..yeah.."Hey, genius, if you are indeed looking for women, why don't you pick a name that does NOT invoke a serial murderer of women?!" Maybe I should change MY name to JohnWayneGacy?

I thought long and hard about my handle and don't regret it one bit. My art has a 50's retro atomic age feel...lots of tikis, hot rods, hula girls and exotic places. The handle is descriptive of who I am and would even roll off the tongue nicely if I were to ever attend a meet and greet. Haveing been in a chatroom or two on other websites, sometimes choosing an overly rediculous name (no matter how hilarious at the time)locks you into one personality. I've tried being all sensitive and serious with a name like FatItchyNuts and I've tried to convince folks I was smart with the uncanny name of CaughtinZipper. Either way, it didn't work. Occasionally, I have stolen the identity of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog...and, well...try steering the conversation away from humping legs with a name like that. AtomicArtist offers me to be who I really am...sometimes funny, sometimes soulful, sometimes artsy, sometimes poetic, and (almost always) smart. I'm quite proud of the name.

our handle means something to us, and we thought that it would not offend anyone.

I have been into music since I started taking guitar lessons at age 5. I have been into "Dungeons and Dragons" since around age 12. I fancy myself quite the bard. Alas Bardman is always taken so I added the ic to bard to make bardic, a word that should mean bardly Alas here everyone wants to make it like Bar Dick Man like I hang out in bars and try to get laid. sigh.
I should have went with LittleDrippyWeeWee.

it took me months of intense thought, market research, opinion polls and a mass e-mail campaign to get my screen name.

I've got a few names here ... one was inspired by a chat in the room one day between I_might and funnicouple ... one is a holiday name ... i'm proud of the holiday one, it's the best one I have come up with. None of them took more than a minute of thought to create. Depth of thought, on THIS rat trap of a site, is difficult to come by as it goes against the very nature of the site.

I have seen some funny ones, and some brilliant ones too.

I remember a bot named "RoastBeefCurtains" ...

JustSayHi, CB has a habit of giving people names. But I really don't want to know what name he's given me. I like your name. But how many emails do you get that say nothing other than "Hi!"?

Mandy, it works. BTW, since I'm a bitch and you're the Goddess, I built an altar to you. Don't worry. It's tasteful. Well, mostly tasteful.

HangedMan, did you bother to heed it when it did start dropping out? When a card drops out while shuffling, or the same card keeps dropping out for no reason, it is a message.

Son, do you remember that guy from the old East Coast room? MasterBates? That was always one of my favorite tasteless names on here. A few months ago, I got an email from someone with the handle, LyingScumBag. Who wanted to know why I wasn't interested. The handle was a major factor in wanting nothing to do with him.

Cause, yeah, I just don't get how they get Casual out of your name. Can't they read? Or is it the fact none of them are using serif fonts, so they can't tell the difference between an I and an l? Now, I always liked I_Might. I might not, I might rip you to shreds, I might have a hit put on you, I might not castrate you. This time.

jan, I'm amazed the Polish side of the family didn't get their way. But I agree with you as far as the blatantly sexual names go.

Atomic, I can't believe they wouldn't take someone named CaughtInZipper seriously! What bastards. BTW, ever see the plush toy, Humphrey The Humping Dog?

header, you know, the sexual connotation of your name never even occurred to me. When I hear header, I think the header on a document first. D'oh!

lifeisablast, your name is cool. I can't see anyone being offended by it.

Bardic, people can read anything they want into names, I swear. Now, LittleDrippyWeeWee sounds like someone with the clap. How about MightyTwoInches?

Pasting, market research? I remember how this handle came about, young man. I think we all have holiday handles in that room. I can think of one who does a handle for every holiday. My favorite bot name was CamelToeTina. I had no idea what a camel toe was until she dragged her rusty transistors into chat.

silhouette> I use this name in other places on the web too. With the handle I use, I can get away with saying truly misanthropic things in forums without being flamed for it. It becomes expected, actually. But you need to move your pic to the second pic place, and let that shadow woman silhouette represent you! It so goes with the name!

I play various games online, and I use the handle Sholly73 on those sites, as Sholly was my nickname in high school, and it comes from my last name. However, when playing spades, I found that quite a few people mistook me for a woman (I guess seeing "holly" in the handle), so when I came here, I wanted to make my gender absolutely clear lol. I also wanted something descriptive but not boastful, which is how I got Tall (I'm 6'4") instead of ReallySmart. The 73 is my birth year, and I made it "TallPAGuy" this time because I used "TallGuy" years ago and deleted it, and couldn't get it back.

LMAO...vulvaboy...

My handle seemed appropriate for me...a taurus of course and a lust for life, with a heavy sexual bend...

My handle reflects my personality too. I think 90% of the population are air thieves. But my all time favorite handle was the handle of a bot. CamelToeTina.
