Dating/Relationships

It would never work and I bet you'd lose 50% of the people who've been here longer than 10 days. If LL required a RL picture and gender verification, I'd leave instantly.

Here is my take on the dating/relationships.

Go into SL have fun, explore and make friends. I had just happened to be out with a friend one nite when I met a great guy

Yes dating is like RL, can have its ups and its downs.

Enjoy the times you have with her or him. If it works it works. If it dont it dont but remember the good times.

As far as knowing real life stuff if they choose to let you know then so be it. If they want to know about you that is your choice. Doesnt mean there is anything to hide that just means that person may not be ready to say. And dont push the issue with them.

As far as voice I am one of them that just don't like voice chat, never really have, even at work when we have teleconference meeting there you have to do it so at home I dont. I do admit I have a few times done voice chat with friends but that is about it.

Age verification and RL pics nah wont work. Too many ways to fake it.

And yes guys when we girls are shoe shopping or hat shopping that is a territory you dont want to cross lol. Dont get me started on my hat shopping trip good lord. Lets just say it was amusing to watch one guy go to each woman asking for sex, then it got bothersome.

Sorry if this sounds like ramblings but I am at home feeling under the weather today lol.

I hope you feel better soon Bec!

Surely I'm not that picky....Am I?
lol, ok. So maybe I am....a little bit.


/me tries desperately not to hyperventilate....and fails....
Ann, you have awesome taste!

See - this is one of those things. Women take this very seriously. Think of it like this - your team (pick whatever sport you like) is in the world Series/SuperBowl/StanelyCup/World Cup/whatever. It's near the end of the final game. Score is tied. Your team is making a move for the lead. Do you want your spouse/girlfriend deciding it's time for a relationship talk? Oh, hell no!!! No matter how much you love her, you want her to STFU and leave you alone. This is IMPORTANT!

Well, that's how they get when they shop. They don't want to deal with you. They don't want you to talk, they don't want you to be loving on them, they want you to STFU and stand out of the way.

My advice is to let them go do their thing. You don't belong there and they'll be much happier without you. Go find someplace with fried food and cold beer and lots of big-screen tvs. When she's done, tell her how much you love whatever she bought, no matter how weird or uncomfortable it looks. You will both be much happier.

She evilly released more colors and styles since the last time I was at her shop.

And hold our purses.

There's a can of worms. I'm really much safer in a sports bar or card room or somewhere that I can't wreak havoc on my relationships.

Aw, I wanted you to do the purse rant again...it's entertaining.

I would prefer pictures, but another rant will suffice!

lol - you know you need new material when people start making requests for specific bits.

Actually, I had a woman ask me to hold her purse last weekend. We were at dinner and she asked me to hold it while she put her coat on. It was totally innocent, and of course, I didn't mind at all in that context, but all I could think about was these threads and what I would do to her purse. She knows my opinion on being ordered to sit in the corner and hold a purse, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't ask me to do that, but after my posts in here, I think I'd be obliged to empty her purse and at least make some serious long distance phone calls on her cell phone. "Hello, information? Can you get me the phone number for the Russian embassy in Jakarta? I want to know if their refrigerator is running."

For sure. Hell, I don't let RL people see pictures of me -- I absolutely hate cameras unless I am the one taking the picture.

Well, I know a few people that do not currently have the same set they were born with.

Piffle. It means your material is so good, people can hear it over and over again without getting bored.

That settles it!

LL needs to institute 100% guaranteed Gender Verification for *ALL* residents now!



The Plan
----------

A LL employee will come to your home in RL. At which point you will provide a certified copy of your original Birth Certificate.

The LL employee will then have RL sex with you (using safe sex practices, of course) to ensure that Real Life sex with you "Feels" appropriate to the gender which your birth certificate claims you belong.

At which point (after cleaning up) the LL employee will log on to their unhackable server with a secure military style laptop and enter in a special command sequence.

Finally you will be approved for dating in Second Life.

I am so sending you a pair of shoes for that comment

Why do I get the feeling that if I ever met any of the women from this forum in RL, the first thing they would do is stick a purse in my hand and command me to go stand in the corner?

Thank you, Ann. That's a really nice thing to say. I just type whatever pops into my head and it feels really good when someone else appreciates it.

Please don't let Phillip show up at my door

Well I've already told you I wanted to do that...........but see, I will be holding a camera! A true test of just how creative Trout can be with the contents of my purse!

And it'll be a test of your creativity too, deciding what to PUT in the purse for maximum merriment.

Since Trout went out of his way to rate me (yay 0.5 rating), I will make the effort to get one of those man purses. Then I will ask him to hold it. The purse will contain either 1) a live badger; or 2) 1 bag of cocaine, 1 vial of Alba's blood, 1 "Donald Trump style" wig, 1 picture of Bea Arthur naked. I believe that I will go with the badger as I do not actually want to go out of my way and obtain the items in number 2 and ring the authorities moments before I hand over the man-purse.

haha........I've already got a list, just in case I get the opportunity to take Trout shopping!!! LOL

This actually sounds like fun. I'm a little worried about what I'll pull out of the purse, though, considering the creativity I've seen in the forums. I better bring my A game.

Edit: Soji, nothing truely illegal, please. But if you give me the picture of Bea Arthur, I'm going to pass it around and tell people my grandma escaped from the home and ask them if they've seen her.

Why not all of the above?

Because I would either go with the hilarity of Trout dealing with a live badger or the horror of a Trout being tackled by authorities and strip searched and probed.

Yes, I'm going to go with number 1 on the list.

Your A game is always required.......especially if you are going to receive the surprises in Soji's man purse!!
