    friendly places?

    in Make Friends

    Posted · Edited by Ayeleeon

    Mother Road, it doesn't always have a lot of people but the ones who are there are friendly. be warned while it is not a sex sim, sex does happen in the Motel, so you might get hit on, sex and nudity is not allowed outdoors, so hang out by the motel pool and you will be OK.

    so people look at their profile and click the flickr link.

    What link, very few of them seem to have them. I always look for a Flickr link when checking profiles, and that to is more likely to be found in less crowded sims, especially the ones that are highly photogenic.

    You've presented the choice of keeping RL details private as a cost,

    No, keeping details secret is not a cost, but every benefit comes with a cost. Owning a car is a benefit, but it comes at a cost in money to purchase it as well as to maintain it. I was not suggesting that keeping our RL details a secret was not worth the cost, though as in the purchase of a car, everyone is going to have a different idea on what it is worth.

    In another post, the subject came up regarding why some people might not respond to an IM from an account they think is an alt. I get the reasons given even though I am not sure I would respond the same way to the situation. On thinking about this however, something else occurs to me. I have noticed that for me at least, the random IMs I send out seem to be more likely to get a response if I am in a sim with very few other people. If I go to a club with a huge crowd, I will get very few responses. Go to some sim where there are maybe 5 or 6 others, and suddenly the odds of getting a response go way up. One thought I have is that in the crowd, local chat is often active and people focus on that, where in the empty places often there is nothing going on in local. I am wondering if others have experienced this and what people think about it.

    One interesting question that occurs to me -- at one point does someone's pursuit of "privacy" carry a social cost?

    I think that when one keeps one's real life details to oneself, it tends to limit the possibilities for a relationship with others. This may seem obvious however I think there is this notion that one can have relationship that exists totally within SL as roleplay. Such a relationship however is always going to be lacking when compared to relationships with people whom we share our RL information with. This to me is one of the social costs of maintaining a high level of privacy here.

    I NEVER open up to anyone in SL anymore because of things that happened to me in the past. I have been emotionally abused, verbally abused and yes while you can say "this is JUST SL, mute, block and move on" BUT, it's hard when you have invested your heart in a relationship only to have it stomped on. This is why I NEVER open up for a VERY VERY long time. Laugh if you want, roll your eyes if you want, but this is MY  SL and if you can't deal with me not opening up about every little thing in my life, then move on. I don't need people like that in my RL and I especially don't need them in my SL. 

    I am not going to laugh or roll my eyes at all. I don't share personal information either, never have, beyond very general info like what I do for a living or what part of the country I live in. Nor do I ever share social media, other than my SL dedicated Flickr page. I know SL can be dangerous if you are not careful.

    I meet so few "bad" people.  I can't say I've never met a disturbed individual, but it is the exception.  I can't just be lucky for nearly 12 years.

    This, yes now and then you meet someone you wish you didn't know, So you unfriend and block them and move on. How do you know why an account is an alt, or if it even is? One of the beauties of SL is that you can open up to people risk free. Why be so cautious, is it really that bad that you might waste a few moments of you time on someone who isn't worthy of it? What about all the worthy people you miss out on out of fear of the chance of the occasional unworthy one? My main has over 650 friends, and never ignored anyone, and not once has had a serious problem with anyone.

    Yes, I realize. I don't want to bother with this. It's not as fun as it was when I first started SL.

    BOM is not that big of a bother, once you figure out how to set it up, you then are able to use layers just like back in the day when SL was simple and fun.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with your hair.

    I suspect the main reason is that your avatar is male, and therefore the women are suspecting you're fishing for sex.

    Maybe, but why are they standing around in a place where people dance? Sometimes I wonder if part of the issue is that this account does not have payment info attached. Of my three accounts only one does, I see no reason to add it more than that, it is easy enough to transfer Lindens. If they are looking for a Sugar Daddy though I am not thier guy anyway.

    Your hair is OK. No matter what you do with your hair, someone is not going to like it.

    The context of that remark is that I was at a club looking for a dance partner and my IMs to the young ladies standing around were being ignored. Finally as it was almost time for me to log off for the night. Another lady showed up, and I made one last attempt to at least get a conversation, for the few minutes I had left. She did respond, and when I thanked her for that, and mentioned my prior unsuccessful efforts, she suggested that might be why.
