I'm also a complete liar. I don't look much like Trout. I'm heavier, uglier, and my hair isn't nearly as good.


OK- now you ARE lying :)

And a profile is just words on a page, just like an Avatar it is the creation of the user. You can make yourself look like anything you want, and you can also say whatever you want in a profile, or in a chat or IM for that matter. But in the end you don't know for sure who is at the keyboard. Voices can be faked, you can even do the Cyrano thing when using web cam. That's all a bit too much to worry about for me.


VERY true. Even meeting in real life is no certainty. There's the case of the woman who pretended to be a man and even met and married her online sweetie (but begged off of sex due to 'having AIDS'.)

If you rely on various methods of proof to feel comfortable that someone's image on SL is accurate to RL, you can be fooled at nearly every turn unless you take it so far as to meet the person in RL and have sex with them.

Even then, they could be a trannie with good surgery...

I'll make this a first in my online experience since my very early BBS days and claim here to be female. I had trouble with that though back when I used to tell people who I was... you see, they didn't believe that I was female. They said I wasn't female because I said I 'sweat' instead of glow... because I'm solution and logic oriented and not emotion oriented... because I admit to liking porn.

Because they didn't believe my image based on my innate personality, they demanded to hear me on the phone. Then accused me of faking it with other people/voice changers, because what I had to say didn't strike them as feminine. My picture is attractive so nobody believed THAT was me, either.

There was no proving myself to people even though everything I said was absolutely true, and I was not going to put myself in the position of having to go through this every time I met someone online. I actually found that giving myself a male name made things easier - people stopped questioning me. A gender neutral name didn't work. It freaked people out and made them even more inquisitive.

I find it far more relaxing not to seek nor try to provide proof, but just take the view and run with it. I'm far more comfortable with people online who have the experience to realize that proof is impossible and immaterial, and have moved past it.

lol - no! Honest to God. I'm not hugely obese or anything - it's not like I'm wedged in a door with a bucket of fried chicken under one arm as I type this (I WISH!), but I sure don't have the 6-pack Trout does. My hair is short and fairly conservative because it needs to be for my job, while Trout has a wonderful mop of hair that I would love to sport in RL. I'm about 6'0", and I think he's around 6'8", which in SL proportions makes him about average, so I guess you could make an argument that we're the same height once you convert SL measurements to RL measurements, but it's pretty weak. Really, overall, he's a much handsomer specimen than I am. We have the same facial hair, but his makes him look good and mine, to be quite honest, is there to hide some pretty ugly scars that I got when I was in an accident as a kid. 200+ stitches. I look like Frankenstein's monster when I don't have the beard (minus the green skin and bolts sticking out of my neck).

Plus, the dancing, flying, playboy lifestyle, cool toys in inventory... I'm really living an awful deviant lie. I think I'll keep living a life of degeneracy. I'm pretty happy with it. Good friends, hilarious stuff happening, great fun. Yep. A deviant life for me.

Only if you promise not to be so fidgety this time. Not like when we took you to the Zoo...


Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I kinda get crazy in my natural environment. :)

Trout... I realize you really arent' flying about in a bi-plane strifing Gor ;) and yes, I know you don't have the flowing locks- I am also not 7 ft tall and leopard spotted- what can I say? But don't sell yourself short, my friend. /me winks (this from the borg woman)

<------ Deviant.

I was going to deny it, but then I did a quick self-assessment and realized that all the stuff I do for fun, the way I try to make people happy and laugh, the nutty jobs I invent, letters from the Lindens, Trout Ratings, Biplane strafings, skeleton bird chicken dances, and everything else is, if not completely deviant, at least a little weird. Plus, you should hear some of the things that I say after a few bourbons on a Saturday night.

I'm also a complete liar. I don't look much like Trout. I'm heavier, uglier, and my hair isn't nearly as good. I can't fly. I don't have a pilot's license, and the laws of physics seem to have a firm grasp on me. When I point my arm at a weird angle, I can't make plywood boxes appear out of thin air. In RL, I don't own any aircraft. Sigh...worst of all, I can't dance worth a damn.

So there you go. I'm living a horrid, deviant lie. The only thing that's real about me in SL is me. When you talk to me, you get me, as I truly am. Forget the physical stuff like looks and gravity. That's really my personality. It's me cracking jokes, dropping cheesy one-liners, complaining about my sore back, or whatever. In RL, I have to watch how I speak, wear a suit, and behave professionally. In SL, I can actually be ME. It turns out, I sort of like me. I value my friends here as much as I value my friends in RL, and I feel like I get to see theM as they truly are as well, not how they are when they are constrained by RL rules.

I guess I'm a deviant. Is there room on the bus for one more?
I think we're all deviants on this bus.

I'm not. Nor did I think you were that demoness with the interesting tail chains I danced with at the hangout. Beautiful in SL, but it would be pretty weird in RL.

My point was that there is a lot more to a person than their physical representation of themselves. How we express who we are in SL is not a lie, nor is it deviance. I'm a total degenerate - and I mean that in as good a way as possible. But it's not because Trout doesn't look like me, or because he owns a prim penis, or whatever. The important thing is who a person really is inside, and I tend to think that it is incredibly difficult to hide that part of yourself. If the OP had a whit of common sense and wasn't such a close-minded, shallow jackass, he would look beyond the avatar and get to know the people controlling the avatar. You can RP a dragon or a kid or a Gorean Slave master, but at some point, your personality is going to break through.

I believe that the vast majority of people in SL are fascinating, creative people with great senses of humor. There are a few bad ones, but not as many as you run across in RL. You just need to keep your radar on and avoid the idiots - just like you do in RL. The OP is too much of a git to figure this out, so he or she feels like his or her only option is to rely on looks. For some reason, he or she seems to feel like the emphasis in SL has shifted to pedophilia and bestiality which is just flat wrong - so wrong that it almost amounts to dishonesty. I suspect the OP knows that isn't the case. At any rate, maybe only the true deviants like us can see people for who they are and celebrate that.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. 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.

........ They said I wasn't female because I said I 'sweat' instead of glow...


That wouldn't make you 'not female'.
That would make you a horse - with the possibility of being a female horse.

My grandfather used to say: "Horses sweat. Men perspire, and young ladies glow."

Plus - your SL business is a dead giveaway.
You've been outed horsie!






Disgusting!

Even though I must admit I do like the idea of flogging Brenda, I do not do well ive I am being "haved". Maybe, just maybe, if she softly begs though. Heck, maybe even if she begs loud.

Yes, but we call that a "feature" as opposed to a "bug".
