Is it 'lying' to have a realistic profile that is not true?

Saying that your arse doesn't look fat is only a white lie. They're allowed.

All we really want is to play Xbox in peace.


What's Xbox? Can you make it bigger than 10m x 10m?

Have you thought of taking holy orders? I hear the food can be good. And if you go to Belgium, the beer is excellent.

On a happier note: I've never knowingly done anyone's evil bidding, and if I did it unknowingly, I had a jolly good time doing it. :D


I've seen Belgium.

Never again.

Never.

My missus tries to make me have conversations.

About feelings.

I thought it was okay, except the bit where the restaurant owner eats his wife's lover's genitals.


Post-mortum oral sex. I'll have to put that in my will.

I'm not here for role playing so what I say about myself in conversations or profiles is basically true. My av even looks a bit like the rl me (when I had thicker hair, fainter wrinkles, longer legs etc)
I tend to accept anyone else's version of their rl and SL selves and leave it up to them how much is role playing. If it turns out that any of it is a "lie" no harm no foul as far as I'm concerned.
But if someone who claimed to be a rl police officer got me to trust them to come over to my rl house and take care of a rl life intruder and then turned out to be a phony I wouldn't like them so much after that.

And by the way saying that your wife's arse doesn't look fat is only being a good husband. If you really love her you can make yourself believe it - at least part of the time.

Mine keeps feeling me during conversations. Very distracting.

What if they new Hukoto Shin-Ken and came over and made your intruder's head explode with just their finger then bowed and returned to their own home? Then your trust would have been vindicated even if they weren't really a police officer.

If you tell her it does look fat, she might stop eating cake and do some exercise. You do her no favours by lying to her.

I like their paté.

I prefer the smooth to the coarse though.

I think I'd still trust them less next time than if they'd told me the truth.

Ok I'm not 60 years old quite yet and haven't been everywhere in the world yet so as far as I know there might be a woman like that some where... The one's I've known would be much more likely to get another piece of cake and add ice cream to it this time. If her arse is fat believe me she does not need help realizing it.

That's true. I forget how illogical women can be sometimes.

I don't know where you live but most places I've been there are plenty of men who obviously have kept eating past the point where their arses were no longer buns of steal.

This could be interesting. Conan the Barbarian vs. literal-minded reasonableness.

Then, maybe not:)

All I can say in response to that is that when a fly lands on you and won't shoo no matter how many times you flail at it, you know it's time to have a shower. I speak from experience.

Presumably their wives lied to them and said they looked fine. If more people tell them they are fat arsed lardy pants they may do something about it.

You seem to be making the point that men are less reasonable than woman, who definitely do know when they are too fat no matter what anyone else says.

So basically, women are to blame for the stupidity of men?

Glad you've followed the conversation thus far and not just looked at one post without getting in context! That would just be stupid.

Actually I was making the more general point that most women allow emotion to be a factor in their decision making, while men have a tendency more towards stoicism. Hence why we don't tend to cry so much when told we have a fat arse.

You're still crying on the inside.

Crying and curled in the fetal position around a pint of Haagen-Daaz

But it stays on the inside, where it belongs. If we were mean't to share feelings, they wouldn't exist only in our heads. Feelings are for women, children, gays and furries :p

I'll agree that in general women tend to seem more emotional than men sometimes. And in a lot of cultures women who aren't slim enough probably feel more harshly judged about it than men. And women's bodies do tend to accumulate more fat and less muscle.

But I'm pretty sure that both men and women who have gained more weight than they really want make the decision to go ahead and have another piece of cake based more on emotion than logic.

True. When I was fat it was because I liked cake. But then I decided that eating cake was illogical, because I was fat. So I stopped eating cake and stopped being fat.

Life really is all just about the maths.
