1) Getting to and from work. Wastes huge amounts of perfectly usable time that could be more pleasantly spent.
2) Work. Must be done in order to pay bills.
3) Bills. It seems that, mysteriously, things in RL are not free. Not even basic needs like food and shelter.
4) Aging. The less said about this the better.
5) Death. The ultimate failure to log in.

1) The stuff that tastes really good makes you fat or wrecks your liver. 2) You can't end a marriage by just logging off and making an alt. 3) The exchange rate sucks. 4) If you think SL Tier is bad, wait until you get your property tax bills! 5) Let's face it - you aren't all that good looking. You might be smart and good with words, but without 6-pack abs, that really isn't going to get you far.

- Menstruation.
- There is no Fly Button, so don't go jumping off tall buildings just for fun.
- When you crash your vehicle, there's a chance that you will die.
- When you're attacked, sitting on a wooden cube may surprise them for a second or two, but the attacking will continue.

1. The impossible demand for resources is outstripping the developed plan to obtain them.
2. Once undeveloped countries are expanding and advancing putting a larger strain on said resources.
3. Population is increasing at an exponential rate .. Combined with the fact that the population is aging at a rate beyond our collective health systems ability to cope.
4. The massive social and economic changes will become a series of political landmines which if 4000 years of recorded history is any guide will lead to armed conflicts if radical solutions do not materialize.
5. Dunkin Donuts have all gone out of business near where I live.

From: Ceka Cianci what about those graphics though?it almost makes it worth it. Hmm but what if SL had better graphics than RL one day? I can't move the clouds in RL. And actually SL water does look better than RL I think  1. If your RL account expires you can't play SL anymore :/ 2. RL missions & quests like work, fix the roof leak, mow the lawn, find another second hand car, move house and have some kids, all suck badly  3. RL building tools need upgrading, why do you need to buy stuff to make stuff? 4. Can't TP to the other side of the planet. 5. If you try SL sex in RL you can really hurt yourself.

1. You need to do things like eat and sleep.
2. It takes money to get basic things. You can't just create it out of thin air.
3. You can't fly.
4. Even worse, you can't teleport. (I could have used that this morning)
5. I am nowhere near as hot as my avatar.

1. Muting the jerk who talks on his cellphone in a movie theater is impossible.
2. Vehicle physics are superior to SL, but gridlock keeps you from going real fast.
3. RL is full of ugly people.
4. Drag and drop outfit changes are impossible.
5. Walking around in public dressed as a furry will get you a guaranteed ass kicking.

5. Dunkin Donuts have all gone out of business near where I live. 1a. This is great for stock options in companies that mine those resources. 2. See #1a. 3a. This is great for stock options in companies that produce pharmaceuticals for above-mentioned aging population. 4. See #1a. 5. This is great for stock options in Starbucks.

1. Upgrading girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 2.0 is often a mistake.
2. Government that wants to control my life from cradle to grave.
3. Waste and abuse of my hard earned tax money.
4. Busy bodies that want to tell me what to do, what to eat and where to do it for the "benefit" of society.
5. I can't teleport from place to place.

- can't fly - damage is too permament - can't buy a house for one week's stipend - sleep, fat, wrinkles, all that body stuff - I cant' carry all of my worldly possession with me everywhere I go, to be materialized on a moment's notice.
About the flying thing... definitely. When I was a kid I used to dream I could fly. But then what did I DO with my flight powers in my dream? I used them to get the best seat on the school bus.
*sigh*
I guess I've always been semi-clueless.

1. RL penis comes in one size and not easy to upgrade.
2. Damn few orgy rooms in RL
3. Damn few opportunities for 3-ways
4. Takes more than 20 minutes to score in RL
5. Hangovers...
