If two men playing female alts have sex with each other... then... that makes them ambidextrous?

... head spins...

Never mind, keep up with a mostly informative thread...

Grins.

Sorry if I offend anyone, but I'M TIRED OF THE DEFAULT CATGIRL.

they're not 'neko'. 'neko' is japanese for 'cat'. They're not cats. They're cat-girls.

And they're not even catgirls, they're just girls who think that because they have a few 'purr' gestures they're exotic and feline. NAY, I SAY TO YOU. NAY. You're not a 'bad kitty', you're not a 'sexy kitten'. YOU'RE A GIRL WEARING EARS AND A TAIL.

Even worse, when girls wear their hair up and their human ears are showing? Makes me want to DECIMATE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.


I feel like I should have a rant post all my own, and this is entirely inappropriate for this topic.



Wow .. a little bit over reacting maybe. LOL.

I never got what was so sexy about cats anyhow.

Some definite bad traits:
Unless they feel like it, they dont even want to be in the same room as you. They only want sex for a couple days a month, and their tongues are like sandpaper.

Still if other people find the purring and stuff sexy then thats up to them :)

Where's the line between lying and no-one's business, though?


Exactly. It only matters what someone's RL gender is if it matters to you -- it's a very subjective thing. I know that it's likely that some of the women I interact with in SL are avatars controlled by male typists -- but it doesn't matter much to me, because I do not bleed things over into RL, so frankly to me the whole "disclosure issue" is irrelevant.

That would be fun :) Especially the part where I am not the only kitty-eared/tailed person around.


You'd never be the only kitty-eared/tailed person around. Ever.

No, not overreacting at all. What I don't like is that everyone stylizes it to the point where they're not even proper 'cat girls', they're just people in ears and tails.

If the 'default catgirl' is having fun doing her thing, why should it matter to you? I thought that was the point of SL. No one is suggesting you convert.

Besides, we're not all the same and you'd know that if you were paying attention...'default' is inaccurate.



Ann, relax. Obviously the default catgirl is having fun doing her thing, and I haven't destroyed anyone's life over it, I'm not breaking my back over it.

Who says I'm going to convert to anything? You guys are assuming lots about my little rant.

Besides, you really are all the same. Especially when you buy from the same vendor.

I'm sure on the inside you all are unique and exciting and a whole world of fun. But I can't see that. I can't. It is a fault of mine in seeing what I believe to be faults of theirs.

Bye the way, guys. My head wouldn't explode. There has always been a cult of people around me anyway. :D

I know you didn't, doll. Nobody buys their ears where I do.

Also - I'm the only one in cat ears in my profile picture.

Well, I might be looking at the wrong one :) It does look like two people, though one head is turned away and somewhat hard to see :)

Erm, I'm pretty sure I'm not the one who had an attack of the screaming mimis a couple pages back. :rolleyes: I also don't understand the impulse to be so judgmental because, what? There are only a few decent neko part vendors in SL? I enjoy being semi-feline...if you don't like my appearance, don't look. *shrug*

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.

Fat Bald Guy
08-24-2007 18:39
Seriously, the fat bald guy. I see them everywhere. Yeah, Kudos for originality if you were the only one, but there's a fuckin army of these guys around now. SL is supposed to be about fantasy, WHO THE HELL FANTASIZES ABOUT BEING A BALD FAT GUY? Because whoever these people are they must be awfully happy with RL being innundated with with such slovenly unnatractive people.

Mostly I think men have a huge problem showing imagination with their AV's, and I give kudos to men who stir up the pot. It's pretty damn easy to be a tall muscular hunk, but it takes work to build something with imagination. Maybe one bald fat guy in a sea of hunks is the one guy showing imagination, but a vast dsea of bald fat guys just tells me "I'm not even TRYING to be attractive or desirable in SL, that's the WOMEN'S job" Like men are not supposed to see themselves as sexy or sexually desirable. That's a little too poofy for some minds to handle.

I just wanted to bump this thread and say thank you to all the posters.

I started SL last week, and wanted to get my av looking nice quickly. I hate being the obvious noob wherever I am...

Noone mentioned shapes. I picked up a very nice shape from thelook with accompanying skin and hair from Naughty Designs. Yes, it cost a few L$, but it got me jumpstarted. I have only spent $20US and have a really pretty av.

Once I've gotten a good feel for the interface, I'll start exploring the building tools. Until then, I'll be checking out some of the other suggestions in this thread. I'm so glad I found these recommendations!

I am currently a Prison Fairy who wears a orange jumpsuit with really bad seams that could be crime scene in themselves. Prior to this I lived in checkered silk bathrobe and pj bottoms that I made for few months.
I make things myself, sometimes I fail at it, other times its okay. I hate dealing with other people's permissions that restrict my creativity so I don't bother with other people's stuff unless there is special reason for purchasing or wearing it.
My other male friends one usually wears some type of military uniform or Armor. The others are pretty average looking some may do interesting things with hair.
Female friends one usually wears very skimpy tight fitting clothing, the other last time I saw her was wearing something that resemble Alice in Wonderland and the other tends to wear dresses that look like they come from 1700s.
I don't leave Nakji or Huin much.

I have a furry av, and rarely wear clothes. Furries can get away with it though so long as no naughty bits are showing, since its all fur/feathers/scales underneath anyway.

Used to wear a pair of bottomless chaps with a dark T-Shirt because they look good with a tail, but I've switched to a full-prim avatar and have thus far been too lazy to produce a full-prim version of those.

Initially, I misinterpreted your "what are older alts wearing" comment, Bree, to mean how do older RL people dress differently than younger people? I am very self conscious about the fact I can't bring myself to wear those clunky big boots that all the hip young girls wear OR to cover my arms with colorful tattoos. And I know it's on account of my RL age (42). I am convinced my lack of tattoos and preference for delicate footwear shouts "she's old enough to be your mother!" in the kind of hip clubs I like to hang out in. SL, for me, is a chance to live out my Friends/Jennifer Anniston era fantasies of great clothes and a hot body! Oddly enough, thoughd, when I created my male alt, all I wanted to do was run around with my sword - couln't care less for fashion or "looks," just want to roam and DO stuff! (and I don't mean sex! I think my male av is kinda the Matthew Fox character in Back to the Future.)


I am 43 in RL and I wear all sorts of different looks in SL LOL so I doubt age has anything to do with it. It is all just personal preference, whatever you feel comfortable looking at (can't say whatever you feel comfortable wearing, cuz face it you are not wearing it LOL)

and I think you mean Michael Fox (not Matthew)
