just ignore and let this one die

I often do - some of the best conversations I've had have been because of the slut ratings. I've spent hours chatting with some of the women who have sent me pictures. We have a very special group of people here - of both genders (not "short bus" special, though). That's why I stuck around.

Oh, I see. The effort I go through to find naughty costumes is pointless...I should just pull out some raunchy poses and strip down.


Well, you know what happens when a woman feels underappreciated...

Thank you Maggie... thought I was going crazier then usual.

We all appreciate you Ann. After all Trout doesn't have an official fan club.

Exactly so.

I had an completely unknown AVI show up at my build site and ask, "Which apartment does Ann Launay live in? I am her biggest fan!!" The AVI was all dejected when I said you didn't live on my property.

Look at you trying to twist my words to make them look bad. Alright, I'll play along.

The effort you go through to find naughty costumes puts you in a class by yourself - you already knew that though, because I've told you so. You excel at picking up meaning from things others post and using that to gain insight into their moods and personalities. That's a skill very few people have, and you wield it impressively. You've used it to turn the tables on me a few times by sending me pictures that left me wondering how you knew me so well.

You also have a stunningly beautiful avatar and you know how to dress to showcase that beauty to perfection - also a skill many others lack. The naughty costumes are breathtaking and definitely create a fantasy for those that see them. They don't need to be raunchy or naked to accurately convey the message you want them to convey.

I think your rating is close to perfect right where it is. You haven't pulled out raunchy poses and stripped down, and the reason, I believe, is not that you aren't capable of doing so, but that you are perfect exactly how you are and that isn't a part of your personality. Everyone expresses themselves differently, and you have, in the pictures you have sent me, given me an accurate and intimate insight into who you are. Even though we have rarely met in-world, I feel like I know you and I'm proud to count you among my friends.

Honestly, I think I have you rated correctly. I'll keep trying to hone it down as long as you keep sending pictures, though.

If I was a female AVI I would shoot for a 5.0 rating. If I understand the system the Trout uses.

A 5.0 would be hotter than a stolen Lamborghini Gallazdo with the Lo-Jack switched on. She would also be demure and wear her sexyness like a fine perfume. She would be able to dress for any occasion from tea and crumpets with the Queen to a punk rocker at a rave. She would always speak quietly and concisely. When she said "Jump", a guy would ask how high on the way up and achieve it.

I know several ladies in SL that fill that definition.

BTW, I am in the male division of the Trout Fan Club. What other guy in SL has women sending him photos for evaluation. When my AVI grows up I want to be like Trout.

No way you have a signed edition. So jealous of that.
That is the best all time book simply gives the answer to it all.
What about turning Norman that his name I think and the spoon character. Sigh been a few long years since I read it now I shall go pick it up again.

When HE grows up........

Hey thats right I was rated only a 5.2

Always thought my inner slut was much higher.

I was just mesmerized by the prophetic tone of this post - figured I wd quote it... does this count as necro-positng?

*blushes and giggles inanely*

You are just too much fun to tease, Trout.

Just logged on: Over 12,000 posts and over 100,000 hits! Way to go guys. (And 805 pp! : D)

Some day I will finish my pics and send them in for my rating. My goal is an 8.0 - 9.5 and if the first batch does not get that, I will probably resubmit. To me, that rating says the perfect amount of 'sexy'. Personally, if I got a 5.0 I would think 'beautiful', 'sweet', 'sexy', but not necessarily HAWT & SEXY!!!

Question... How the heck do I change my time settings here???? I have been posting here since July of last year and I still haven't figured it out- I am EST. It is 1:33 pm but the Forum time of this post is 5:33 pm

You can be "HAWT & SEXY" without being a slut. I can't believe I am getting tangled into the slut controversy that I have been carefully avoiding.

Remember is it the mind that drives the sexy avatar around in SL.

I may have to go back and delete all of my related posts.

NEVER!! What am I supposed to do when I grow up? Stop laughing at knock knock jokes? Pretend I like boring grown-up food? Stop taking the time to smell the breeze, revel in the warmth of the sun on my face, or forget to stop and look at leaves, anthills, and wildflowers? Am I supposed to stand on the edge of some jagged ridgeline in the alpine wilderness and worry about the height and my insurance premiums instead of feeling like I can fly like an eagle? When I feel the jerk of a wild trout on my line am I supposed to ignore the rush of adrenaline? How about I forget how it feels to ride really fast on a bicycle, or I turn down a game of catch or frisbee so I can concentrate on my stock portfolio and my tax exposure?

Nope. The day I grow up is the day they put me in the ground. I'll resist with every fiber of my being right up until that moment.

It's in the User CP, edit options section near the bottom of the page.

See the fine line I have to walk? It ain't easy being me.

LOL - are you kidding, I love this debate. And yes you are completely correct in that hawt and sexy do not necessarily go hand-in-hand with slut -- but as a guy, I do not think you really understand the meaning or significance of 'slut' to us forum women in the context of Trout ratings.

for some reason, i'm glad i didnt send Trout my bikini shots...........

aaaaannnndd with that said i think its eye candy tiem for the ladies:





ok so its eye candy to me

OMG!!!! Suddenly- I know what time it is

Thank you Damien! Thank you Eternal Thread! Thank you Rha - Mother

"The Trout"!! This is great. He's the Forum's "The Donald", only much, much cooler. And funnier. And with better hair.

Or wait...maybe it's more like Trout is the head of a clan..the Trout Clan.

Look, here's the Trout Clan's coat-of-arms (sorry, it's kinda big):

I might be in love with you. Hell, I might actually break down and buy land in SL just so I can have a place to display this! For the record, I have better hair in RL and in Sl than The Donald. He has more money, though. LOTS more.

I haven't had the chance to catch up with everything here yet but Oryx I am so incredibly envious that you have a signed copy of Jitterbug Perfume! I ADORE Tom Robbins, my absolute favorite writer above and beyond all others. My god, that man LOVES women...
/me takes this peachfish home to find it a good man right now!
