Meh, love is overrated sometimes, cos some ppl don't know how to use the word properly!
EMOTIONAL REJECTS NEED NOT APPLY
Should be put on the partnering form.

From: Trinity Serpentine I don't believe it's about people being "smart enough to seperate RL from online" as much as it is about each consenting adult and what their boundaries are; what the rules of engagement are that they have set. I agree totally. aurelie and I have been back together since January. Of course, with its ups and downs like every normal relationships. Sometimes people have relationships with another and use Second Life as a medium to engage in such manners that would otherwise be impossible. You don't necessarily need to have it apart from your RL, Second Life for me, is an extension. People use things like this for many different reasons, not one answer is a right one.

We love da cube... coz it iz close to us... We love da cuuuuuube coz it is easy rezzed by newbs And you can sit down on it tooooooo
And a cone not very useful for that.. Unless you making underwear. And then you might be better off with a TORUS.... Unlike da cube...
it up there in the sky it up there very high but not as high as dirigibles and zeppelins and sometime f*ckballs
and maybe clouds
And I think maybe skyboxes they go quite high tooo
but not as high as da cube... coz da cube is very high
We love da cube.. Da cube is very usefull everyone everybody like da cuuuube coz it make da houses and da vehicles an fences and da waterfalls and it really lovely and we like that...
WE REALLY LIKE THA CUBE!

From: Gabby Cohen But like Rice said... it gets even worst when the rl partner helps in the whole situation... like i would say in spanish "se forma un arroz con mango" ... and the problems start arising... they get burned... and cant handle the fire... And the funny part is that they wont ever learn the lesson, and keep on to the next victim... Now i ask myself, do they not have feelings? or do they have a sick rotten mind? *Arroz con mango*!!! HAHAHA I hadn't heard that in a loooong time! Where you from, Gabby?

I dont do SL relationships because even though i'm very creative and have a huge fantasy, i'm also very practical and down to earth. I simply don't fuse with my avatar. I know that behind those avatars are real people, mostly with good and honest intentions but avatars cant impress me, no matter how goodlooking. When i started to play SL i visited events and parties thinking that like in other online games i would make some friends to hang out with. I found out very soon that it's much easier to get 'sex' in SL then to find a friend. I have always refused relationships and clicking balls, but offered my friendship instead. I'm here for almost a year and can count the intelligent chats i had on ONE hand. My breaks from Photoshop became shorter and shorter. My social second life compared to rl, where i have a huge family and many friends, is very poor. I'm in my shop i listen to all the stories my customers are telling and i'm amazed that so many mature people are capable of such superficial, meaningless and stupid behavior. Of course this is a virtual world, perhaps a not so bad surrogate for the ones whom are lonely in rl but is all that drama really needed? When i need a hug or a kiss i grab my hubby who's sitting right next to me playing another game. If you don't have a rl partner get out and i wish you all to find one very soon! Maybe a few very lucky exceptions but SL isnt really the place to find your happiness.

Social dynamics online are just like social dynamics offline, but moreso. How many relationships are there in RL, and in what percentage of those are people acting in a way that most of us would consider "responsible?" Do you eally think there's a lack of candidates who've earned the right to appear on the Jerry Springer Show? So there's a bunch of people behaving like assclowns because they're "virtual." The context may be the Welcome Area one minute, or SL relationships the next. If they were trivializing SL itself in some fundamental way I'd be concerned, but they're just trivializing themselves. Yeah, they may make a bad impression on some newcomers, and if they leave having only seen that it's unfortunate. This is why I swing by the WA from time to time, even if I'm not otherwise being terribly social. OTOH if they go to a club, they have to have some idea that it ain't Disney Land... As for the question of partnership being one way and not another: ohferpityssake! The Powers That Be in the USA are desperately trying to dictate the bounds and limits of RL relationships -- as they understand and accept them -- and cast them in stone. Or the law, since it's more socially acceptable to throw the law at people these days. Do we really need to dictate what ways people are allowed to build relationships for themselves in SL too?

Please remember that sexiness is not a right, but a privilege. Use it wisely.
