This bugs me alot

No, it says nothing about me. That's my point.

I was referring to the skins released the last months. That skin must have been stolen over a year ago? I haven't seen it in those blogs either, and I think I have read all the posts.

How can something you creat say nothing about you? You choice to either change or not change yourself. Be it consously or not. After all jsut looking at how someone has there desktop on there personal computer set up can tell you things about them. Even if it just tells you they don't care to change the defaults.

Privately my friends and I can be cruel or giggle shallowly,
but yah I'm not a fan of the yellowed, default, bad skin buy or some old freeb one,
I don't offer to tell ppls anything about it unless I am talking to them and they steer the convos in that direction of wanting! help in that area.
On another note, some of the most creative, saner ppls I have met are not "the beautiful ppls the beautiful ppls!" and quite happy.
*shrugs*

Well for two reasons: Firstly, I put no creative energy into creating my avatar, well very little anyway, and so it really doesn't say much about me. Secondly, if you see an avatar, how would you know if it is a result of someone who intends it to be a good representation of themselves, or if it's someone who views their avatar like I do?

This side of the screen, my appearance/health does matter to me. I run nearly every day , I train with free weights 3-4 times a week, and I rarely eat crappy food - though I do have the odd drinking session out with friends once in a while! So, the fact I make very little effort with my avatar really doesn't say a great deal.

Do I knwo with 100% certianty that the person with the randomized male ava with the gun is a griefer? no. Am I wrong at time. Sure I am. But it does give you a clue about the person. Be it who they are or such in your case how they treat sl. Builders and scripters have a habit of puting very little effort into there avatar outside of turning it a random color at times (well scripters alot more for the random colors for some reason). The more someone is inot the social game aspects the more they put there effert into there avatar. It is a stereotype yes but not a unresonably one.



Which says you treat sl as a tool and treat yoru avatar as such. Not puting effort into him/her/it. I would be very suprized if you had a beutiful person avatar after what you said after all.

A GUY! Spoken by a TRUE GUY!

And I might be that way, too, if I were limited to guy clothes!

thanks, I'll check that out!

Yeah! Like - drive through Atlanta in rush hour traffic to get to the doctor's appointment across town AT THE CRACK OF DAWN and pay $3 to park and walk forever to the building and finally get up in there to find that "Oh the other office told you the wrong time, it is actually tomorrow."

That word was definitely going through my mind today.

I hit my head the other night on some overhanging cabinets at home. I swear, I think I dented my skull. It was right square on the top where it hurts like crazy, and it was the corner of the cabinet. Dropped the F-word then.

I was in Oregon fishing the Deschutes and slipped on some rocks. Fell on my ass and broke the tip off of my favorite rod - a 5wt Sage. God, what a wonderful flyrod that was. It was big and slow and mushy and could lay a fly down like tucking an angel into bed. I was going to drop the F-word, but I was too busy crying about the rod. I miss her, and I use the F-word every time I think about it.

Yeah...not all 'true' guys think alike.

I am a true guy, who wears guy clothes, likes girls, but I dont limit myself to a t-shirt and torn blue jeans.
I've been known to dance like a fool with nothing on but Gorean male silk breachcloth and arm bands...I once won a dance contest that way...damn I wished we had gotten pictures, nobody believes me!
(Now THAT was spoken by a true guy!)

UGH! Shame on you then. You invite them by coming in as a female so it kinda makes you worse then the ones hitting on you.

Get use to it Riffy because it looks like these forums are going to become a junk area for every possible brainless though and topic .....................Until finally The shutdown the forums and create a more Blog like website.

I still wear the default skin that I started with, I have however added accessories, and fiddled a bit with the sliders, but not too much. I have yet to find a skin, free or not, that I think would suit my look better than what I have now.

I found one skin pack that I almost bought, but I didn't have the desire to have three penises!

Billy goat av?

Every morning in RL, I shower, fix my hair, wear clean clothes and polished shoes. I care what I look like. In general, most people do the same.

Most of my clothes are pressed. I can afford this. I like they way they feel and look on me. I don't expect everyone to have their clothes drycleaned because it is an expense that you can easily do with out and many people just don't like the way it feels. I don't think less of people who wear cheaper clothes. Most of what I have came from Walmart anyway.

What does bother me is when someone in real life who has not bathed in days and wearing the same clothes they had on yesterday come hit on me and then claim it is my fault because I don't find them attractive.

Happens in RL. Happens in SL as well.

I got slammed because I said I expected someone to take at least 5 minutes to work on their looks. I have been told over and over that what really matters is how the person thinks and feels. I agree. I never said anything to the contrary. What I did say was that people who put no effort what so ever in their AV's apearence are also the ones who treat me as if I exist soley for their ammusment. That has been my experience so far. Want me to change my opinion? Find me an example to the contrary. I never said you had to spend money for me to look twice. It is a luxuray I can afford so I spent money. I want to look the best I can. I don't expect anyone to spend one penny on this game if they do not want to. Nor do you have to. There are more free clothes, shapes, skins in this game that ANYONE can look nice. You don't even have to wear a freebie at all to be reasonibly attractive. All I expect is someone to make an effort with what they have. If some one obviously does not give a sh** about themselves, why should I? I guess that makes me bitch queen of the week.

You can look how you like in SL. In a world with furries, robots, goblins, heavily oiled voluptuous women and impossibly over-endowed men, the odd bland complexion is neither here nor there!
