Derekmate Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Turn out you can't put it here, but I'a almost sure you can put a link here (if that's ok for everybody) what will direct you in the event section ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - linking to an event here would be considered the same as posting the info here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talligurl Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Why do we need a friend finding event, just go out in world and talk to people. I make two or three friends a week without even trying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalytha Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) I'm with you on this. I wish there were some more events with the specific intent of making friends. I know, I know... if I want it so bad, I should make it. I'm not into the club scene. I always mute music, yes -- even live music. If I zone in and there's a DJ, I zone out -- because almost inevitably, all I can expect is to see public chat filled with applause emotes and DON'T FORGET TO TIP!!! I profile stalk... if I find one that has something I can start a conversation over, I might go ahead and send a message. But the thing is you never know if someone really wants random people messaging them. I really like when people state in their profile 1. If they are open to private messages from new people and 2. If they are only interested in platonic or sexual relationships. I don't like to waste anyone's time.

If I get a random message, I respond or ignore and move on with my day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameson2001 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Speaking from a guy's perspective, most guys would be happy to receive a random IM. I have gone many months without a random IM and when I do get one I usually will ask the person if they are actually speaking to me? Hehe. I think the last random IM I received was in early 2017 from a horse avatar asking me where good grazing land might be in SL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the sad part of SL that when a guy IM's a girl it is only for sex. What ever happened to just chatting with someone about where they are from, complimenting them on their avatar, or asking them what is their favorite part of SL? Conversations are fun between all different types of avatars:) It seems to me that was not as much a problem back in the early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I teleported to a sim I go to sometimes to meet new people for casual conversation. Well, last night only one guy was there. I deliberated teleporting out, but I took the risk and stayed. We struck up a great conversation and it was completely friendly. We even explored the sim a bit. It was a really nice encounter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you can tell within the first two sentences if the person you are chatting with is a good conversationalist. What amazes me is the diversity of people I have met this way and the enjoyable conversations that can be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
