all of you helped a lot
my favourite unit in the game are marauders :P
concussive shell + stim gives me nerdgasms
using drops and the variety of builds is amazing i like zergs creative side but i like being in control and not being the one that reacts but causes a reaction
so after considering a lot of things i want to play terran
i get inspired by pro terran games and i want to be able to do the creative things they do
Nada and BoxeR are amazing and they inspire me
so thanks for the help everyone but please keep on providing tips to stick with a race

i am looking in to a VERY aggressive race.. one that allows me to be on the constant attack..

i was a terran but i am now with toss since 4gate is pretty agressive imo but everyone is able to defend a 4g reasonably now.. so could anyone advice me further?

Any race can be played aggressively but terran gives you the most options and cool units to micro like stim marines with medivacs, banshees and helions. If you wanna just attack people constantly and throw them off balance then terran is the race to pick. Especially because of the ability to swap addons with other buildings and thus suddenly change your tech.

Try blink stalkers, either 3-gate or FE-6gate. Very agressive protoss play, which is not all-in, unlike 4-gate. You will have the joy of annoying the shit outa ur opponent, and have enough mobility to maintain control.

I found my liking of Zerg is because the Zerg streamers are just so much more entertaining then Toss and Terran streamers. Toss and Terran usually just stick around their base, while zerg is always off doing something.

So if you want to get into Zerg, check out some streams. I highly recommend SlayerSCella, Sheth, and to an extent Destiny. For 2v2 Protech is one the best Zerg's.

HI PIG!! kinda wanna ask you this as a zerg user, how would you compare zerg aggressiveness to terran as what you have commented? cos terran seems to need tech which takes time.. =(

Talking about streamers, how about our very own moonGLaDe!! He streams often too and the timing is probably more favorable for those with work/school in the day time as compared to the NA streamers.

some zerg's like idra/ spanishiwa is econ oriented.. not quite my style.. crazerk as a zerg player and a head writer, in your opinion, is zerg able to play super aggresively like what cruxis say.. a zerg stream?

Just my two cents, I reckon that definitely the race you choose in the end should suit your personality (sounds like wishy washy, but I think you'll get more enjoyment if that's the case).
However being quite noobish myself, the way I've gone about it is to just play a race and stick to it for a while until I'm bored. All the races have something which is more important to itself than the others (eg. Z need to establish bases if they wanna live, terran needs effective scouting as it's the weakest in this regard, etc). So they can all contribute to your gameplay. Finally, learning all of them allows you to find out each races' strengths and weaknesses so you can exploit them.
I've played zerg and terran alot now, but because I've never played as protoss, i only have a vague idea of how to pin them on a build...which is why i lose to them more often than not...

choose a race according to your playstyle and level of commitment you want to put in the game

- if you like micro management and harassment while at the same time being able to multi task and macro your ass off
- if you're good with unit control and can execute cleverly thought out build orders well. the easiest race to get good at
- if you're fast and mechanically skilled and want to take advantage of that. probably the hardest race to master
- if you're just in it to have fun and just want to play casually, this option by far provides the most fun and variety

Whatever you do, don't pick terran. Pic related, clear evidence that terran most underpowered race by far
