InvertedSunlight

I think it's an interesting idea. I don't know anything about running a club, so I'm no help there. But I'd be interested in going to such a club. I use my male avatar more these days. I've been in both of the gender bending categories Amethyst mentioned. With that information on my profile, I'm not sure if it effects how people view me or not. It'd be nice to go somewhere where it could be less of a factor. I'm still trying to find people I can connect with in general on the avatar-of-the-opposite-gender subject.

I've seen a retro looking car and some futuristic egg shaped vehicles here and there when I've done random mainland exploring. Exploring the mainland is a downer sometimes. I see a lot of older builds and it makes me feel like I've missed it's heyday, and then there are huge empty grassy plots. I like the smaller islands. Maybe because less space makes them less empty. I still want to see as much as I can. I only had the patience for the 'taxi' once. I had to get closer, and look around.

Trying to ignore my gut and letting my guard down.

I got a really nice house by The Domineaux Effect called Old Orchard Cottage. The windows open and close, the details are great. I love my house! Fanatik has some cool stuff too.

I was reading a thread on the forums with my mobile phone and accidently clicked a comment as 'report inappropriate content'. Did I get the commenter in trouble or will their comment get deleted? It wasn't inappropriate at all. I'm really sorry.

Did you use the Inventory search and type in the name of the surfboard to double check if it's there?

My avatar has small shoulders/bust, wide hips, and a moderate derriere so mesh clothing tends to not fit the look I'm going for. I like mesh overall, just not really for clothes..for my avatar at this point. But shoes and hair are fine. My house and many of it's contents are mesh. I see mostly mesh clothes at the fairs I go to. It's a bummer when the item is something that could have been system like skinny jeans. I tend to wear a lot of system pants. I definately think mesh is a good solution for skirts. Like if the skirt is medium/short and form fitting. I recently bought a long gypsy style skirt made with flexy prims (I think that's the term?). I couldn't picture that type of skirt being made out of mesh and being as successful (but I'm no expert). I guess no way is perfect all the time. Usually I'll just try out an item I'm really drawn to, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Addison seems to fit the best out of those options.

I have a female main that I started with and then a male alt. I'm kinda in awe when I hear about the feamle avatars getting hit on alot. I think I was hit on maybe 3 times. I guess her looks haven't been most guys' cup of tea. I've been here a bit over a year. My male alt is almost as old as my main. I made him for a few reasons. 1. I'm used to the Sims 3 (2, etc) playing more than one avatar. In the Sims 3 I usually started off with one character, but they always got a boyfriend/girlfriend for me to dress and play with. It feels a bit limiting just being in charge of one character here. But, SL is a totally different ballgame. One virtual person at a time is enough because you become the that virtual person, instead of just ordering them about. 2. Goes along with #1, I wanted to dress a guy. When I made him, I hadn't seen a guy who looked quite like him. There probably is one out there, but my travels were limited. I guess I made the type of guy I would have liked to have met. It was a really lonely time. It was fun and frustating getting a look I wanted for him. 3. I wondered if my experience would have been any different if I was a guy. I didn't feel it was all that different. He was lonely too. I guess it depends on the person operationg an avatar. I'm not so great socially. Never have been. He did have a girlfriend at one point...that's another story. But I guess that's one area he had my main beat. 4. To see if I could believely portray a guy. Whew, not as easy at it looks. I think I'm more self conscious when I'm him, because I want to appear masculine and true to what I believe his character to be. I probably really suck at it. Overall, it's easier and more fun being my main, since she's female and I'm female. I can draw more from personal experiences with her. I'm less self conscious with her. They're both fun to dress and shop for. A plus with my male alt is that I love to watch him dance, I think he's adorable but I'm totally biased. Ok, I love watching my main dance too, ha ha!

I hope you keep using it. I find them fun, personally. Like another way to get a peek into that person's SL. My account is only a bit over a year old, so maybe more established members have different views on it. It's like an extra treat when someone adds photos/status along with filling out their profile. This is a good reminder to check what's trending a bit more.

Thanks for articulating a situation I can relate to. Sometimes it sucks to see some folks continually come and go without hearing from them because it can get a bit lonely here. But I also sometimes feel nervous about initiating an IM because I don't want to be seen as a bother. So that doesn't help. I've also only had the guts to send one friendship request so far because of that. I wish the OP luck in their search. Hopefully they find someone they're on the same wavelength with.

I think It Starts With a Smile sounds good. I'm usually on after 8:30 est.

I'm not sure. I think it depends on which viewer you use.

No, you can't change your account name. I've asked that question before. I wish I could edit mine.
