ThorinII Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've never had such creepy encounters, but my wife had someone in her friendslist who always asks "How can I imagine you in Real Life?" I think such kind of questions come from people who consider Second Life to be just a 3d chat or game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who think of SL as a game are LESS likely to ask this stuff. If you're in here as a game experience, you don't want that messed up by RL junk. The people. who. ask me! one. or tWo word? questions: or, statements! rEalLy... Get, to. bE Annoying... Like... put a little more into there than Hi sex? where live? ur name? It's been a while... but I used to get drilled with questions a lot too. Not as much the darker in tone I made the skin of avatar... but it still happens. Sometimes I might actually be looking for some naughty play time in SL... and these blokes are a MAJOR turn off... (it's one benefit of the AFK places, I don't have to read their horrid comments and interrogations...) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I play a sexy young female avatar... ya I get bugged a lot. Usually, it's avatars that look like that that are asking all the crazy questions! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebe Bunny Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I love when a guy feel entitled to something lol gives me reasons to release my inner kraken on them. Funny enough I used to have my actual RL pic on my profile and didn't get bothered a lot while I had it there, but probably because I wasn't exploring a lot. Bad is, if I'm straight forward and say that I'm not interested when the guy clearly has third intentions, he will pretend he just want to be friends and that I'm full of myself. If they were only man enough to admit they're just creeping I'd have more respect for them I mean that to the creepy guys not men in general of course. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoleDane Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Some I think are just nosy. Others could also be trying to grooming. As in if they know they can get information then slowly they might want pics. I remember there have been times where people start with sl chat. But then after they get the information they try to wreck havoc on others rl. So when people pry too much it is a godsend that we can block them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW stuff in SL (I have a nice TIE fighter to fly in - with no chance of an interior shot as there´s no cockpit and stuffs....) Plus the only chance to get some decent armour was an offer by some weird dude in a new sim´s RP group that was VERY rude and yierks in groupchat- and it takes a lot for me to post that....).... kudos for your attempt though.... I´d have at least commented on it... *coughs BTT everyone....BTT!! if some random man with his hand down his pants has a name for my babyfeeding organs... DAMN that one needs a life....he should join this so called Real Life.... Seeing as Disney owns the right to SW now, don't hold your breath. They have put the kibosh on anything Disney in SL.

My 1st life tab gives my *stats* in a fun way without being precise that one reading it needs to stop & think just for a moment about, but it is there.

kershe Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 There is a RL version of what I was talking about - there are people who stand way too close and ask question after question. I was watching The Assassination of Gianni Versace and the guy who played Andrew Cunanan was exactly like that. Talking with someone like that is like experiencing an relentless step-after-step invasion, the point of which you cannot see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that should be sufficient for... a lot of conversations... Don´t think those dudes would read profiles... that´s what ticks me off the most Often I just use the 'firstworld' part for added text. But I do put a tiny bit of RL in there... sort of a 'no I am not a naked neko in RL' (you'd be surprised how many guys and some women on nudist sims get wound up over that very point). As annoyed as I get about people that don't read my profile, I am guilty of it as well many times. Often in reading profiles I start to wish I didn't... But it is also very illuminated to see the different kinds of things people put in their profiles. Seems to follow some common trends: 'love notes' to people they are fond of - basically using the profile as a private response to their social group. "I remember when I first met you, how magical it was, you are my special sister, blah blah blah" 'Business junk' - contact me here, send a notecard or bug off, don't do private commissions, here's my MP, etc... These people often have no personality in that profile. I've been surprised a few times to realize it was NOT a business alt - they socialized on that account. Name, rank, and serial number. Check the first life tab for a RL pic of me and my dog. Or if this is an adult venue... me and my "dog". - the TMI folks who put no wall between Sl and RL. Even as they sit in a XXX club asking for some wank-time. The 'dark lord voldermort who is also Detective Jones' types... the entire profile is a RP card. Hi, I'm Candy and I like to meet people - followed by 12 unmodified Picks to sex clubs and 'free stuff' shops. "Professional noobs" - because this profile looks like it belongs on a 2 day old account, but is often found on a 12 year old account as well... - Many profiles are amazingly repetitive within these themes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were we supposed to go out & pick out china patterns & get married? Do you look like your avi in RL? -well we both have 2 arms 2 legs a head..... You are a man or really fat since you won't "prove yourself" -Hey man whatever gets you thru the night. This is a pet peeve of mine. You want me to prove that I'm female? How about you prove that you are male? But no, I don't think men ever get asked to prove their real life gender. Even though there are plenty of men in Second Life who are women in their first lives. You can wait until the next time I feel like turning on voice. Or my next dj set. Or you can do what I do and just not worry about it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once at a RL party, a guy told me, "If I'm talking to someone online, and I'm not sure if they're a woman in RL, I have an infallible test to find out: I ask them what they do for a yeast infection." He was so pleased with himself that he didn't notice I was speechless. After a while I managed to say, "So if they get pissed off and leave, does that prove they're a woman?" He scoffed. Then I pointed out that his test would prove that he is a woman in RL. That was too much. He scowled, walked off, and wouldn't speak to me again. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThorinII Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Whenever a new girl submitted to me, I used to ask "What time zone are you in?" when that wasn't mentioned in her profile already. And I even asked that question only because I live SLT+9 . and I need to be sure that zime zone differences aren't to become a problem for both of us. Everything else - age, gender, location, name, look and so on of the person behind the avattar - is not of interest fo rMe.
