I just started playing Secondlife recently, I find it amusing. It is quite enjoyable. But while playing I notice the immense amount of sexy women roaming the landscape, I find myself asking myself how many of these people are really men who just like to be a women for their own weird reasons?

Feedback is appreciated.

This is not a trolling thread, im sincerely interested.

Thank you all.

I am 6'1" in real life, but 6'5" in Second Life. But then, why would people need to know that to just talk with me?

I think the same could apply to gender.

PS there is no option for "I am a male who plays a male and can admire an avatar...pixels regardless of who moved the sliders and bought the clothes", or "pie".

I'm actually a toaster, does it matter if I'm female? ;)

I understand that the topic linked there had a poll similiar to mine, but this thread is centered on a specific topic not a broad gathering of gender to avatar discussions rather this thread is about female avatars and the RL gender. Thanks for the link though.

I think toasters are hot. Toast should be a food group.

I think it matters if you are using a female avatar and are really a male in real life, unless you have real gender problems in RL It is pretty deceiving to everyone you encounter in game especially in mature settings... thats just my thought.

All those women you cybered with? They were all guys. Big, hairy guys. And yes, it means you are gay.

Are you a RL toaster oven playing a two-slot toaster in SL?

I'm just a bunch of pixels on a screen, but I play a woman in RL if that helps. But then, I haven't cybered with the OP... I know one of the truck drivers who did though and he said it was ok, but that he's had better (oddly, with a toaster playing a teapot).

I propose that everyone vote "No I am a male who plays a female" just to make the OP cry. ;)

Ive been in SL for less than a day so I havent cybered yet.

p.s. Posting the way you do isnt very constructive, I suggest if you want to act like that you should go someplace else. As I said this is not a trolling thread.

Id do it but my sangria getting warm and need make run kitchen for ice. Can someone please link to the 5 billion other threads on this same old question.

Hey that reminds me.. anyone know where I can get the animated smilie of the happy face beating a dead horse??? Saw it once and shoulda grabbed it then.


PS.. Damien, yes ya can count on fact there is lot the mangina syndrome (sp) going on in SL. Generally I figure there is a formula that shows the more slutty that a female is acting in a club, the chance they are a male raises equally (not always so dont get ya undies in a wad if ya just slut in RL as in SL :p ) That being said; I think you will find lot more real females in SL then most MMOs, though our number greatly raising in them aswell. Problem is, if a mangina not willing admit it ingame what makes ya think they will admit in a poll? Even though its anom they will still want to skew the numbers in most cases.

So basically ya never gonna know. Even if LL was to release figures showing how many accounts are linked to a males personal info VS the sex of thier character, it would show nothing concrete. I personally know several females in RL that have thier hubby/BFs set up their accounts and billing off his card.

Moral is.... stop worring about it and enjoy ya play time :) If keep wondering if that cute lil hoochie ya just paid 5000l for hour in the dungeon with is really a male or female or sheep... its just gonna drive ya crazy. Unless sheep are ya thing.. then Im sure some creator will be along shortly to direct ya to thier cybering sheep outlet...

What if you're a toaster and you put the bread in yourself? What does that mean?

Damien is not going to last long if he can't handle Ordinal.

Seriously, Damien. If a guy portrays himself as a woman, does it matter? I don't mean "I showed up to the meet and she was a he", I mean in the case of just being online.

It's pretty foolish to take anything you see in sl as a representation of what's going on in rl. When you see a furry, do you assume that the person at the keyboard is a six foot tall fox wearing a suit?

Personally I never think about rl when I am in sl.

Isn't that the whole point?

I appreciate your reply that is more of the explanation I was looking for, you put it very nicely, thank you for helping me understand, I would just like to add that I wasnt worried about a man being behind a female character I was just interested, thanks again.

What happens if she's a he's a she or he's a she's a he in RL? Or does that get too confusing for this sort of post? Enquiring minds and all that, ya know...
