BelindaN Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 9 minutes ago, Scylla Rhiadra said: Hmmm. Pretty consistent with the nature of my conversation with him. I told him upfront that I wasn't interested in sex (neither, he said, was he), or in dating, but I'd be happy to be his friend. He was of course deeply disappointed . . . after all, I am (he told me twice!!!!) "perfect girl." He didn't block or defriend me -- in fact, he's still on my friends list. Maybe he's becoming more impatient and less tolerant? It must be exhausting working his way through all of those women! It was certainly a sudden change of mood........but that happened to me once before when I spelt it out.........they don't seem to like it much. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Me: “I dated a guy who had a vestigial tail.” New guy: “Um, I have one too.” I’m going to have to start screening my RL men better, 2 out of 2, tailed men weren’t keepers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, isn't it? It's almost as though they don't really value us as, you know . . . people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a certain type that seem to treat others in SL as if they were npc's in an mmo. Sadly the majority of them I have to share a gender with 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think rather than hurt feelings, this was about speeding up the production line. Why waste precious time on someone who evidently is not going to provide what you want (which is not interesting conversation)? Time to move on to the next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that's a really interesting insight. I need to give it more thought. That said, I've known men in RL who act similarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same guy I suspect it is, he has been doing the exact same thing for around 5 years if not longer. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that someone like this doesn't HAVE any other "tactics." This is probably the only way that he knows to deal with women.

I've been asked this question multiple times. The most recent was when I was giving a classroom presentation. I use a little HUD that lets me put the lecture script into a notecard, and then each time I hit the button, another line of the lecture is displayed in local chat. This student said, "She's a bot". I said, "No, I'm a real person." She said, "I was fooled because you type so fast!!" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably take something catastrophic to push him to the point of self examination resulting in a change of behavior. I don't see that happening in SL though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people aren't aware you can set up macros in the FS viewer. https://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/autoreplace_settings ETA: And yes I get asked that question a lot. Or did.

Cool. I don't think it would work well for my classroom presentations, though; it would take way too long to set up the keyword/response matrix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
