From: Lindal Kidd I was kidding when I wrote that in response to Hate...but I do think some people (not just the ladies) do project a "keep off" vibe. It's not just clothes...I've seen it in characters in several styles of dress. It's not gender...I've seen it in men and women. One poster in this thread noted that he seems to give off a "gay vibe" and gets hit on a lot by other guys.
Some of the ladies have this, this...electronic perfume or something...a lot of top escorts have a definite "you want me, dontcha?" air about them.
Now, all this sort of thing happens all the time in RL. What puzzles me is, how on earth do we manage to project these sorts of attitudes through our screens and keyboards and pixelated avatars? It can't possibly be pheromones.
If I knew the answer to this, I'd've won that contest and be $L250 richer tonight. You want me dont cha?

/me ducks into the thread for a quick lookee From: Derbor Torok This last Halloween I picked up a great little toy.. if you wear it and someone bumps into you, your av falls over dead and a pool of blood forms around your head. I'll take one, if it's copy/trans .... that has got to come in handy sometime! From: Trout Recreant So, what I'm learning from this thread is that when I walk up to random women whom I do not know, and ask them if they want to swim upriver, spawn and die, that it might not be welcome 100% of the time?
That can't be. lol! you forgot "/sarcasm off" at the end of your post. you don'wanna get stuck in sarcasm mode ... I've often wondered, RL and SL, what happened to women that so many of us don't kinda like a shameless pass now and again. Male ... female ... what's not to like? When did we become so rarified, anyway, that we can't deal with a guy walking on his tongue after us? OHHH Horrors! A man finds me attractive!!!!! And he's not subtle! OH MY GOD! shoot him! I'm usually able to convey genuine disinterest without going after either the guy's balls or ego. Really, I think sometimes we overreact And sometimes, if I manage to turn them away with humor, it turns out they have humor too and the whole thing becomes fun.

Gosh , tell me where please. Up until recently I was partnered and ended up ending it because I couldnt cope with all the attention I was getting from male avies who see partnered people as a challenge and him not being on very often. I then had a period of touch me and you're dead.
Now I am free and ready to ride the sl intimacy roller coaster and not getting any interesting bites. Perhaps I am too damn fussy.

This is so true and very different in parts of the world.. I was living in Asia one time and two beautiful Spanish women were talking to each other very openly (assuming no one spoke the language I guess...) - Their topic and main complaint was how men in that country did not show any appreciation for their beauty.. one them said "They don't even turn to look!" /me smiles... .d

Well I'm really back now, after a mega-flight from Hell. Remind me never to step foot in an airport ever again. Men aren't cads. They're very nice people for the most part. Especially when they buy me drinks in seedy airport bars since everyone's flight has been delayed for 2 hours.  /me waves to everyone.

From: Ricardo Harris And you actually believe it's just the guys all over the females? Females don't do this too? Guess again, it's a two way street in sl. I have a male alt which I use to test animations - the ladies have never gone for him :-/ He gets griefed, caged, orbited etc by the other guys though. I think being a guy in SL is really tough.

From: Trout Recreant .... I'll go approach women and someone here needs to tag along behind me and do a little "exit interview". That way it will be all scientific and everything. Better make sure that someone can perform CPR from some of these posts, buddie  From: Deira Llanfair I have a male alt which I use to test animations - the ladies have never gone for him :-/ He gets griefed, caged, orbited etc by the other guys though. I think being a guy in SL is really tough. Quite right! It's hell! C'mon girls, help us out here a bit huh?

It never bothered me. Depending on how clever and intelligent the approach is, I either respond nicely (but decline unless I'm, for some reason, actually interested) or, in true Gemini fashion, talk a little circle around the poor, slow guy to amuse myself at his expense, but I don't feel the need to just bluntly, verbally pummel anyone into the (virtual) pavement.

From: Angelique LaFollette If a man came up to me and spoke as a GENTLEMAN (You remember that word guys? It's the one your mother TRIED to teach you but you never listened) They would Find me more receptive to conversation, and friendship (I'm Gay, so unfortunately romance would still be off the Books). The problem is, somewhere along the way Men got the Idea that to Impress a Woman, they need to behave like a Slavering Primate. Frankly i don't know what makes me shudder with embarassment more, The kind of man that would use such an approach, or the Kind of Woman who would respond to it.
Guys, if you Really want to Increase your "Success rate" Learn a Few manners, and try not to sound so Obvious, and so desperate. Pathos is NOT an attractive feature.
Angel. A few manners and have a FANTASTIC sense of humour.

From: Cherry Czervik A few manners and have a FANTASTIC sense of humour. Oh completely. And just have that something... oh I don't know. You can't explain it. Sorry, this is probably not helping much  I think I've mentioned it before, but the nicest 'approach' happened when I was sitting on a bench at Apollo and briefly AFK. When I returned I had an IM: <Name> softly kisses your cheek while you are sleeping." He ws nowhere around so I IM'd him back and he was so sweet about not wanting to disturb me or appear pushy. He just wanted to tell me how nice he thought I looked. Gorgeous. I didn't follow it up as I was with someone at the time. But I often wonder where he is now, the lovely man.

I started getting hit on less when I went Neko a year ago...I have no idea why, since my av is way hotter now than she was then, but I definitely don't mind. Guys were always trying to pick me up when I was shopping, ffs!

You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.
Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

From: Derbor Torok This last Halloween I picked up a great little toy.. if you wear it and someone bumps into you, your av falls over dead and a pool of blood forms around your head. That might be a way to deal with those guys that like to get really close to you. If it is a copy enabled toy I'll be glad to pass it along to anyone who wants one...
.d I'd love one of those, please!!

From: Sandy Carver And as for that HUB, don't get me started! Two hours I spent wandering around the sleeziest parts of SL the other day and still emerged with my purity intact, and trust me, by the end I wasn't fussy! Sandy, if you're still not fussy tonight, IM me. (No, that's NOT a come-on! Down, Rover! WHAP!) But I have some LMs that I usually hand out to OIP griefers running around with their friends hanging out and scaring the newbies. I tell 'em, "If you'll cut that out and put your clothes on, I'll give you a LM to a place where you can have a Really Good Time". Works like a charm. *evil grin* At least, I've never heard from any of them again. Disclaimer: The Management takes no responsibility for the results that may follow on the use of these landmarks.

From: ArchTx Edo There is one called "Ostrich" that works like a hug but instead you levitate the guy up in the air, twirl him around a few times then plant him face first in the ground with his legs sticking up in the air. Its pretty funny. I think it is made by Lost Dog Arch, I can't find "Lost Dog" on the Map, or in Search, or on SL Exchange. Can you drop another hint?
