Title: are you a secret fur or a public fur?
Post by: Kaprika on February 03, 2011, 09:34:09 PM
alot of people play out there furry lifestyle different than others..

some are public and proud of it...wear furry peraponellia (think thats how its spelled) use furry words, public fursuit and talk openly about there furry lifestlye.
while SOME hide it like a dirty little secret..and you honestly wouldnt know them a furry if you saw them walkin down the street.
i range furries on a scale of 1-5

1-secret furs.  you never know who we are, or even if we know what a fur is.
2- light furs. a few furry aspects..but people dont really know what its about till you tell them.
3- basic fur. is open about being a fur, wears some fur things and likes to engage in furry actions. you can tell there a furry by looking at them.
4- public furs. is more than happy to tell you all about there furry self, wears lots of furry things. tail, ears, uses lots of fur lingo, and there isnt a soul that doesnt know your a fur
5- OMG furs. EVERYONE has to know your a fur. you wear fur stuff EVERYWHERE ALL the time. you refuse to aknowledge your a human, and go by your furry name. you eat sleep and BREATH furry. you have little interest in anything un-fur. and your whole life is about bein a furry.

myself. im a light fur...but if i had the money to support it, id be a basic fur.

what kinda fur are YOU. are you a 1 or a 5..or do you think your even a level BEYOND five!

tell me what your furry lifestyle consists of. and why you are that way.

Nobody knows I am but a few trusted friends. I do hang out with fur friends on occasion but mostly I'm pretty secretive :3

I guess I'm a public fur... People know, and I'm in to it, but I'm not insane over it...

I'm secretive because nobody respects me and I'd be respected even less for being a furry and I guess I just feel like keeping furryness and life separate for now

I feel it is not necessary to share my hobbies with most people, so most people don't know about them offline.

not alot of people can handle the level of different that is a furry. i hope you will one day get in a social circle that you can be public about it!

for those that make it a lifestyle they can hardly contain themselves...but for those that only have it a part of there life can most certainly be content in just enjoying it themselves without involving others into there interests.
personaly i find it fun to have at least two or three people that know
*smiles*

I'd say I'm a public fur.. I am very open about being a fur, but I don't rush around moaning about that I am... I wear a collar at all times, I have worn a tail in a bus and some more or less public areas.. same with paws, but most of the time I wear them as gloves if I wear them since their warm and nice... I would never deny the fact that I'm a fur if anyone would ask, however, I won't always answer 'because I'm a fur' if I get asked why I wear tail or collar etc.. I would more likely respond something like 'because I like it'...

I'm usually a public fur, but Simba won't let me go out with my collar now. I wear animal print stuff and he wears lion shirts all the time, but I wanna do more. ><
I have paw earrings, but it's not as fun just wearing certain things. I say who cares what others think about me. I am who I am and I'll never change. :)

i second that! i wanna do more too. i <3 my fox hat and i wish i could wear it to work instead of my stupid ballcap. >>;

its alwase fun to see what kinda boundaries we can push...see how much we can get away with

I don't have a collar, or a tail, or paws, or a fursuit, and I don't go around announcing to everyone I'm a furry, so nobody offline knows I'm a furry. :P

I know you guys know I'm a furry. What I meant was that no one I've met in real life knows I'm a furry.

I'm a light fur. No need to flaunt it. Just wear a collar in private and draw furries in class every once in a while but thats about it.

I am probably either a 2 or 3, I wear dog-tags with Charcoal's information and I also have my cats old rabies vaccination tag on it.  If people ask me if i'm furry, I tell them.  If they don't ask, I have no reason to tell them.

 I'm a secret fur. but If I had the money to make some pawz that look like runz'z Pawz I'd probly wear them all the time. And If their were any social groups near me I'd be in'em. And I'd do what Darksky said "If people ask if I'm a Furry, I tell them. If they don't ask, I have no reason to tell them." I would tell people I'm a furry but uh....I don't think my family or freinds will accept it. but when and if they ask I'll be ready.

Post by: Kaprika on February 05, 2011, 01:10:55 AM
I was made fun of too, but I honestly don't care what others think at all.

i did what i wanted when i wanted how i watned..but i was stil alwase easily hurt then. i never had friends before either; i was "that weird kid" , i actualy didnt make my first friend till i was a freshman in highschool. and i lost her not even 3 months later.
i was alone again till college.

but overall i STILL like to dress verry differently, and i love it

i dont see why they should care if iam bi ... iam more for girls so they should worry about having to see me getting marred to a guy...i thought about telling them about the kensiy scale and where i put my self on it ( 2.5 kenisy ) but they wouldnt understand thats why i cant where my collar out in public because they say "it makes me look bi". they dont know i have a second one that i hide from them that i where when i am alone * plays with collar* this feels nice . thought about saying its because iam a furry but that might not be the best idea

I guess I'm a 2.5, only because I don't have anything furry realy, but I freely draw furrs in school and if anyone asks I openly tell. If I had the materials I would totaly make my own coller.

Pretty public. I just don't flaunt it out obviously when there is a situation that can hinder me in any way by doing so.

I'm very secretive about it, I try not to provoke the negativity of the world for it seems not to need any help in my case so I try not to tempt fate in giving more than I ask.

Public all bout it.  though some deny me ever sayin tht im a fur then they are suddenly furs the next moment and then its like they dunno what they are doing  XD   
More to the point,  I hide no things and therefore I don't hide my furry side  ;) 
Title: Re: are you a secret fur or a public fur?
Post by: icy wolf on February 06, 2011, 05:56:14 PM
with me i would show my furry side more is i was "allowed" to where my collar, parents dont know i have one and they wouldn't like it if i wore it.

Ah well, my friends were racist, insensitve, douchebags so I don't really care.
