I dance because when I DJ at a club it makes for a more dynamic scene than to have me just stand there scratching my head.

Must be a bit painful with shoes that are too small, though. ;)

I'm so easy to troll.



So where's the ferret dressed up in kid's clothes with a diaper fetish? Or were you saving it for the thread to follow:

This is a bit of cheat (although I like that they are dancing in a cage, like 60s go-go dancers :D ).

Where are the pics of ferrets doing, um, I don't know . . . Caramel? We-love-you-girl? Room with a view?

What about a mustelid on a pole?

How can we POSSIBLY judge whether dancing ferrets should be banned without more solid evidence?

I dance because it looks a lot better than standing there looking like an idiot staring off into space.

I guess I'm having a bad day, so I'll apologize in advance.

Jig, I hope you keep a record of your posts on these forums so you can go back some day, reread them, and realize what a sanctimonious prig you sound like. Of course, that presumes you will actually grow up, not just older. And what is your fixation with pitying people who have disabilities? You know, there are people older than 25, people living with disabilities, people who may not be a smart as you, etc. etc., all leading perfectly fulfilling lives, coping with ups and downs, loving, and being loved in return.

I know your attitude is a function of your youth and probably your isolation, but it really grates on me. I hope for your sake, you grow into wisdom, and finally realize that humans are inherently worthwhile and deserving of respect, irregardless of age, intelligence, or physical ability. Pity is not respect, it's the antithesis of respect...

I don't think dancing is a sad commentary on SLife. I think the fact that most social events in SL only involve dancing at a club while people either IM looking for hookups or stay oddly chat-free is a sad commentary on SL's effectiveness as a "social media."

Wow, ok.

The evidence is in, and I have to admit . . . ferrets make pretty cute dancers.

Don't see any of 'em doing the splits, though.

But really, people, why submit yourself to the horrors of lag and self-abuse by waving a pixil hand around and doing a St. Vitus dance imitation when you could be having sex with your partner in comfort of a private sim or a public nude beach?


Some of us enjoy the music, wearing elegant gowns that one may not have as much occasion to in RL and, in my case, enjoy the more elegant venues of ballroom dancing. Not everyone is in SL for "the sexxies."

/me adds a hug as well and applauds your post.

I live with a disability and will engage my intelligence against Jig's anytime. She is merely the type who loves to hear herself prattle and sound like an elitist at the same time.

I can't understand this appeal of "dancing" in sl. Why do it? Okay, I understand its potential for chatting while picking someone up, but avis can't send body signals and facial language to each other in sl like we can in real when we are on the dance floor and "in da groove". In sl, a relatively short movement sequence is repeated ad infinitum and clumsily at that. I also appreciate that people who are confined by a disabiliy can expeience something of the "dance experience".
But really, people, why submit yourself to the horrors of lag and self-abuse by waving a pixil hand around and doing a St. Vitus dance imitation when you could be having sex with your partner in comfort of a private sim or a public nude beach?


Sigh...

But yet you sex in SL with people other than your partner because you are in a 'mood' (like many people do)...and somehow you do not understand the appeal of dancing in SL?

Why do you need to "understand" it? The very fact that people love to do is for me, understanding enough. The only thing to understand when it comes to "why do people..." is that "people do".

Questions like this show an awful lack of retrospective introspecting when formulating these ideas for questions like this.

I love dancing in SL. It feels great. It is a wonderful emotional release with the right music or person. I am sure there are a number of other reasons that i have never thought of.

I just do not get the judgmental attitude about benign type things that people hold here in SL. Sex, dancing, furries, goreans, BDSM, pregnancy, kids avatars, SL families, etc..

They need to work on their dance animations first. Too many of them 'break' the joints or otherwise bend unnaturally.

On the other hand, a couple of the motion capture animators do put out sex animations. Henmations is mostly dance, but has some sex stuff as well, which I believe they claim is motion capture. I've seen at least one other place making that claim as well.

thats gonna happen with any of them putting the joints in positions they were not made to do..
back before any of the others were around is when i used to wish sine wave would make them..it's been awhile since i've even thought about sex animations anyways lol

we need more joints to fit the programs more or less.. ;)

Deja Vu. I ended up doing exactly that when I crashed Pep's dance earlier today. Everything I wrote earlier about the lag? True. I couldn't even get on the floor, he had to TP and I practically landed in his and his gray date's lap. All my babble about my custom dance hud? Oh no, no scripts were permitted at the dance hall. Other than some karate anis, all my animations are IN the hud, so not a lot of good to me. So there I stood in the middle of a very busy dance floor lmadly clicking my hud beside Pep, some fashion journalist he was dancing with, and a load of couple's dance balls.

And then she rezzed and god help me I wish she hadn't :eek:

Of course the lag made it just that much more special. I wasn't there to dance, but at that point if I could have I would have. All I needed was a quick color consult. Instead, there I stoo like a stalker with both of them asking me in chat and then in IM what did I need them to look at. Of course I had answered THE MAKE UP already but lag, you know. Maybe I should have just done the karate and gotten banned :p

Why do I do these things to myself? I know better No more dancing! :rolleyes:
