/me shrugs. You weren't much help anyways. I'm not writing about limited sarcasm and ignorant remarks. Without them your writing will appear childlike and without imagination. Trust me. _____________________

Oh the OP is an alt? Well that gives him one answer to his question why Romance in SL is so dicey. Who you believe to be your true love can turn out to be an alt of some slimy bag of douche.
Not insinuating that the OP is a slimy bag of douche at this point in time. _____________________

OK, I'm officially bored. No more food for the little alt troll. On to the derailing thread. Hope to see you all there!

Well I'm saying its not like you log on, ask random people to partner you and go on with your day, people usually take months to make that choice. I'm asking why would someone partner and date on SL to begin with. I'm not saying its a good or bad thing to do, I'm just curious as to why. And obviously I have not partnered up with anyone on SL, but many use SL as a dating venue, such as AvMatch.com and other random dating sites connecting to SL to meet other avs to date in SL, and into RL eventually. Cool, you have it figured out then. No need for research if the data is predetermined. Thanks for playing, have a nice day. Now go play in the street or something. _____________________

/me laughs. Awwwww. Not all of them do, eh? If you don't look at them as anything except friends, and don't have any expectations, then they are quite enjoyable.   _____________________

I must be getting old, because when I was in college you had to actually go out and immerse yourself into the topic and do research to write your paper. I guess those days are gone, and you can simply log into a message board now, and poll a few participants, then jot THEIR thoughts down, and get your paper written in a few hours without getting out of your jammies.

Hi SLers, I'm writing a paper for college, and I'm curious how you would express your views on dating and love in Second Life. Do you think its ridiculous, or do you believe it could actually happen? How about using SL as a "match making" social networking area to find true love? Any opinions would be great, even if you hate the idea, at least it gives me a general idea on what you all think. Thanks D Come to my two classes this Friday and Saturday. "Sex and Relationships in SL" at 7 pm SL time Friday, and "Dealing with Drama", noon SL time Saturday. That should pretty much write your paper for you. The time and landmark is in Events. _____________________

True, but how many threads have we had here about relationships in SL that start out with telling us what a scumbag the guy is? That's probably because (on average) woman are more vocal and feel like they have to tell everyone. When a man gets screwed in a relationship, he tends to deal with it himself and not burden others with his problem. |

When a man gets screwed in a relationship, he tends to bottle it up inside until it starts doing really serious psychological damage, whereupon he goes out and gets really drunk and then throws up on his ex's doorstep. Fixed it for you! _____________________

I certainly get my fair share of conference calls from the friends' list, where the men bust out all the gory details and venom to about 25 people who would prefer not to hear. They just do it in one fell swoop, and get it over with more efficiently than chatting to each other about it....that method of course, would be totally uncool for a man. |

Fixed it for you! Very true. I'm not a fan of extremes myself. It's healthy to talk about things, accept them, learn from it, and *move on*. |

A glass of Guinness does not make a very good partner! Otherwise known as a blonde in a black dress. |

You could just search this forum for "love", "relationships", "dating", and find many threads on the topic. Actually, looking for something along the line of "guys suck" and "scumbag" would probably give you some good threads too. Also looking for "philanderers", "cheaters" "men with mid-life crises" could bring up similar stuff. Which is why... http://www.flickr.com/photos/42317687@N07/3948699621/ |
