We're discussing behavior in SL. Not sure how many prisoners have access to SL. Encounters in SL should be polite and civil...I'll stand by that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a really interesting point. Speaking of how others read clothing - I do have to wonder about those of us who don't strictly adhere to any universally accepted conventional standard of dress whatsoever and what that conveys to others about our availability. My female avatars are occasionally more masculine than my male - favoring mens suits, athleisure, and industrial outfits or techwear - when I don't have them skipping around in leather anyway. Does that make them more or less available to others? Funny enough, I'll still get IMs wearing all of that (with more traditional hairstyles, anyway) - combat boots and all. So it seems to me that the clothes I'm wearing have little bearing on how approachable and available I seem. Guys still see an opportunity. On the other hand, my males get ignored, despite one of them having been mistaken for a woman before (he's quite androgynous and I was in Lara with V-Tech at the time, doing a Madonna-cosplay photo shoot). He's got better high heel, fashion, hair, nail, and makeup game than my girls do, but things are nice and peaceful on him. 🤷♀️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have mentioned in this thread that it's a basic animal instinct. Well, some animals kill their young, some even eat them. Let's all hope we've risen above those instincts. Can you point out where in that post you said you were only talking about behaviors in sl? Can you name any animals that play sl? What is your definition of "a civilization?" That's what is not being polite, misconstruing what you posted and was replied to. My reply was an answer to this post of yours. No need for you to rudely post I was bringing up a non-sl topic, You brought it up first with this post about animal behaviors and civilizations. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I add it to show I greatly appreciated the comment. Nothing more. I take pride in the time I put into my avatars. When I walk into a room filled with people I will typically say "Hi hi <3" which does NOT mean Im looking for an orgy... 😒 And pretty sure the "no" I said twice to his advances SHOULD of been enough to show I'm not interested. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always respond to compliments by saying "thanks :)" is that also flirting to you as well. You are talking like one of those "guys".

JuliaFina Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Everyone is different. I show I'm not interested by not talking to them. No mixed messages that way. Most times I never even open my IM's to see what was said or by whom. I'm usually too busy doing my own stuff to notice what others are saying. I also don't see them lol. You literally have to zoom and turn your camera to look at someone most times. Normally I'm zoomed in on my own face lol. I would not see anyone right next to me. Sometimes I go to privacy tab/IM's from friends only...turn off sound too. I'm not sure why people open or answer unsolicited IM's? I rarely do. They don't bug me. If I was bored and opened up a bunch of my random IM's I just find it interesting what they say. I don't care what they say. We can't control other people or what they say. Why care? It's not like an IM is auto read. You have to click a bunch of buttons to see what it said. I wonder if most people go into their chat settings and see all the options. There are tons! Everything from sound, pop ups and on and on. Tons of options. Oh you can turn off other avatars from rendering too! Be funny if they added a setting where you could not see or hear various types of avatars. So you could turn off all interactions with males or robots or females or whatever you wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwar Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 So, in summary. It matters to some, it matters less or none to others, and the reasons for why it might matter differ. People have their own reasons and perspectives. All good, right? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you look up the definition of civilization. I've been polite and civil in my responses. Just because I don't agree or question someone's statement does not mean I'm being uncivil. Are you done now? I am. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I want to talk to them. I'm lonely or whatever. I just assume avatars with male names are male rl so I assume you are male rl. But I don't care what people are rl unless I am in a romantic relationship with them. I think oh they made a male first cause they are male rl....thus the male name.... then they switched to playing a female as it is more fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL (rolls my eyes) You are making less sense the more you post. Might want to take a breather and have lunch or dinner and come back. Edit to add: Sam/SAMANTHA -- It's a nickname but even if it wasn't it's not a name exclusive to males. Thats just simply ignorant.
