What happened? Regards. What happened, my friend, is that you got old. Trends change, there is no right or wrong because everything IS right and wrong at the same time and you are either insider or an outsider. There are people out there who are outsiders by nature and they aren't concerned with trends or fitting in and there are also people who, when they realize the world has changed (while they did not) feel the need to complain about the good old times... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeline Mysterious Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’ve been “playing” since teen grid SL, and I have had problems lately finding some nice people. I know all the places to go but I only find people with lists of demands and they get intensely aggressive if I don’t meet those demands, which I never will. I just want a friend with some similar even singular interest I have. Not the friend for a night type. Hey, if anyone is interested message me in that cold dark world.

EmpereurNapoleonBonaparte Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 My personality online is the same as my personality in real life. I've experimented with going with different personalities that are not true to mine before, but it didn't go well. I was unsatisfied and barely found any joy with the things I was doing. At the end, I ended up abandoning my fake personality traits and reverted back to my true personality traits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in SL for around some time and back in the days I noticed people were more genuine, but nowadays, besides of 'pailed-looking-white-haired' avatars everywhere, there's also a trend in the way people react; 1. Man try to look alphas, dominant, they even try to sound like a greek god movie star when on voice. It's sad. 2. Women act like cold, very sexualized mean [ladies] you can't even afford to look at them because of so hot they are. Now I would accept these as individual personality trait, but not when 90% of SL acts this way. It's so fake and disgusting, people pretending to be something they are not only to be tagged as cool, popular, or because they feel the need to fit in. This Virtual World definetely lost what made people genuine here. Most populated places now are only people described above, avatars with static poses watching each other for hours without even engaging in any kind of interaction, it's so sad. Only places I still find some genuine people are in newbie landing areas, I suppose new joiners discovering this world still got the same "innocence" and admiration to discover new things and be what they really can't in RL. But then again, eventually these guys will also turn into SL snobbism. What happened? Regards. Yes, there are a lot of people who log into SL for pixel sexxors. There are many who don't. I'm one of the ones that doesn't. I freely admit I have been an SL virgin for 13 years. That will never change. No, I'm not interested in getting to know anyone that posts such snotty snobbery as you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot like the word "fair" - which is an oxymoron in and of itself; it's a 'null' word without meaning because what is "fair" to me may not be "fair" to you. I said that to say this: (LOL) - This thread applies to all of us equally, including the OP himself. Because *context* is king. Well, except for @LittleMe Jewell . (Sort of) *Snorts* ?

Which was the whole point. The problem I had with the OP was the fact that he was "pointing fingers" without taking time to examine his own feelings and reactions with an understanding of why he feels that way instead of sweeping them under the rug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not immediately hop on a sex bed with anyone, and have even warned guys that they'll probably find me boring. That hasn't stopped many from thinking they'll be the one to get me naked in a day or two. And it's after that day or two the nicer acting guys stop chatting with me, the not so nice ones didn't get past "Hi. U r sexy". Some girls get that a few times a week, so yeah, that tends to stop some of us from being the friendliest creatures in SL till we know someone better. I don't know if this is all guys, but it is certainly almost all groups where guys are hanging around. And I would add one more type of guy here, the ones where if you DARE to say no, they get inflamed and start name calling. I don't know about everyone else, but when a guy starts calling me nasty names I always realize that I messed up and should have said "yes." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
