You sound awesome. I actually wanted to play as a male but when I logged on I was shocked at how expensive the items are for males vs. Females! Also, I’ve found most freebies and gifts are geared towards women. I’d love to shop with you and see what places are out there for AV males- I’ve asked and most people on SL seem to be very rude when I ask. Also I don’t think you are cat fishing-this is a game. People can’t harp on you for being in a sim and striking up a conversation. If you were in a RL dating site that would be different. Friends are those that support you no matter what anyways.
Hope you find some amazing SL friends from you post.
If I don’t hear from you all the best!
