My wishlist. Yes, there is a theme.

Sounds great, I’ll join. Thank you for doing this!

More Curious and open-minded, and less judgmental.

I left the 40s almost four years ago. But I find most people I come across are 40++.

As Alvin said, it’s a choice to own a club. If you require your hosts to post on the event boards, you should pay for it. Why should they have to come out of pocket for something when it’s your club, and they’re working for tips?

Isn’t it similar to the Electric Slide or Cupid Shuffle?

I’ve done the hosting thing for years and posted events per club rules. Truth be told, $10/50 isn’t a lot. However, I worked multiple clubs in a day. When I did this, I worked for my $$. And, often, I did not get tipped or paid by the club owner/manager. Often, I was lucky if I got $100. I made enough to shop and rent. And I had fun, and made some friends. Now, I just invest a few dollars weekly. So, you club owners requiring this, either pay your hosts to post, this does not include their shift pay. Or post it yourself.

I frequent femdom sims, and blues clubs

Just fixed it with Pussycat's blog. Scylla, for whatever reason, CTRL+9 just kept taking me back to the top view. (and just now, I totally missed your second reply Sorry!) Thank you both so so much!

Thank you both! ❤️

Thank you, I’m using FS. I will check tomorrow when I have access.

I used to stay logged in overnight for 7 seas fishing (I think that’s the one where you fish for clothes?). I fixed my settings to never log me off. So there were times I’d be in 24 hours. When I first started, there were times the addiction kept me on until 4amish, and would jump back on when I woke up.

Someone posted a popular blog post about changing your camera view/field of vision. I’ve seen it before, many times, had it bookmarked, but lost all my bookmarks. well I did what was posted, and it was great. Come back a week later, and it was borked. To the point that I’m looking at the top of my head from 5 feet away😅😂😆🤬. I can’t figure out how to fix it. Nobody was able to change it, because SL is only accessible to me on that computer. I cant find that post in my history, so can someone /anyone help me out please? I promise to bookmark it in multiple places Thank you muchly!

Men Everywhere Need Some Experience LOTUS

I’ve had this same problem when I switched from Physique to Hourglass on Friday. Pain in the butt.

LOL @ Marigold & Perrie's pics. Too cute! Answering the OP.. from what I have seen in this thread, it's not your friends that are the stuck up ones. I'm sure I'm getting this saying wrong, but if all the people around your are idiots,, it's probably not them. After feeling bad for you in your first post, I'd go running after seeing your replies. And if your profile sounds hurt & crabby because that's how you feel, others are correct. Most people won't go out of their way to befriend you. They'll give you a lot of space. True friendship doesn't get made upon meeting. It's after talking to someone and finding out you have stuff in common, learning about each other and STILL liking each other after you get to know them. I have people I'm friendly with, but they are acquaintances. Very few are what I call "true friends." The true friends I have in SL, came from outside of SL. We barely talk in SL, but when we do we can talk/hang for hours.

SL is strange... I'm thinking it may have to do with this bolded part? GeorgiaSueRobinson

Forgive my rant, I am sorry for your losses.

As far as your SL friend, that was out of line IMO under most any circumstance, but especially since you had told them the reason for it. This attitude of "if I contact you, you better drop everything and get right back to me" is something I've encountered before and it strikes me as selfish. But hopefully they reacted that way because they were worried that you were not talking to them. I'd let it pass for now, but if the demanding 'its all about me' attitude continues, I'd re-evaluate my friendship with them. I think you are the unreasonable one, actually. There is nothing more worse in the world than for somebody to feel ignored by the people they care about. If a "friend" is reaching out to you, then there is almost always a good reason why they are doing so and it is never okay to just ignore them. If you consider yourself their friend and you are able to respond, then you should respond. If you cannot respond, then you respond when you can. That is what being a friend is about; being there for somebody. You describe them as having an "its all about me" attitude, but they are probably just thinking you have the "my life is too important for you" attitude. None of it matters because friends are supposed to be there for eachother. Just wow! First, OP didn't actually explain "immediately." Had the person sent an offline IM? I don't always reply to offlines because they don't always "require" a reply. A "haven't seen you in a bit, hope you're ok" doesn't necessarily mean I should reply. I'll sign in in an hour/day or so & let them know. Or it could've been from someone I hadn't spoken to in weeks/months who was just concerned about not seeing my name online. Was OP online and ignored the IM? Well... sometimes you're not in the mood to lie with an "I'm ok/good" or you don't want to get all into the "I'm not great, but don't really want to talk about it." OR, maybe you crashed and never saw the IM. To top that, unless it's my partner I have no "obligation" to answer ANYONE right away. Friend or not. Anyone who got their panties in a twist over it, delete me please.

But like last week I saw rape city and this week I saw another site called rape too. And the picture were of real a woman and men and of course the woman was getting rape not the men. Don't worry, it's an equal opportunity thing. There are many sims where men can go for their rape roleplay fantasies. Otherwise, I do agree. It shouldn't be splashed across a log-in screen, or across the top in search. I'm all for getting your kink on/ But if I'm not looking for kink at that time, I don't want to see porn pics. Adult sims aren't all kink-oriented. And, yes to the person (Jeg?), rape is a very common fantasy.

No idea what the first one says. But if they don't have sound, you can make them by just right clicking your inventory, under Gestures folder, and clicking "New Gesture." Just copy those lines into the spaces.

I often think it's an age thing as well. Mid 40s here, and been online since mid 20s. You just didn't give out your personal info until you got to know a person. The younger crowd is on Facebook (as am I), but it's all "real" (supposedly) info. Real name, city, etc. At one time, I used my *main* FB (real info) for games, and had a buttload of people, I made sure I put most of those people into specific lists so that my personal info (other than name) wasn't available. So many come here & want to just add everyone like some kind of tally. Heck, I've gone to RL clubs and might not even give people my real name there. I had a standard "club" name because I wasn't looking to pick up anyone. Never gave out my number, but took theirs if they gave it & threw it away when we left. My RL, I may discuss *some* of the things I do/have done online, but damn sure not all. Just as in SL (or any other online community), I discuss some, not all . I like what Pussycat says regarding many online areas. Again, maybe it's an age thing, but so many seem to think of SL as some "special different" place, and in some ways it is. But, in others, it really is just another online venue, site, etc. with cooler graphics. Hypothetically dancing in a club with someone I just met. Him: What's your name? Me: <----- Nadia Him: Where are you from? Me: NYC (catch me in a crappy mood & you'll get "+3SL" or "East Coast USA" as an answer) Him: Married? Me: Single in SL, married RL. Him: Age? Me: Way past legal. Him: What kind of work do you do? Me: In SL, I have made clothes, hosted, managed a club, danced, stripped Him: No, I mean for real. Me: Is this an interview? Him: Let's voice. Me: *mute* & TP out. Meanwhile, after having chatted to this particular person over a period of time and deciding whether I like them enough to share personal info.. could be days, weeks, months, I may share my real first name, pics, etc. I no longer have a mic and haven't had a cam in years, and am in no rush for either. I've also just recently put more info in my profile that I'm not interested in a person's RL info immediately. Don't want to know what you look like dressed or undressed, don't care what you sound like. Way past tired of getting pics nekked & dressed within 10 minutes of meeting someone. Sorry for ranting. LOL

I've been online for about 15 years and have joined many sites. On most of those, I have a regular screenname. One that if you find it in search, it's me. But, that's my screenname. My personal info is shared with very few. Even if it were a video/voice program. They knew me as a screenname, not *my name.* When I came into SL, I chose not to use that name because I wanted SL to be something seperate. I don't share my personal details (hubby and kids names, info on where I work, what I do, etc.) with everyone. Just as in RL, some people get some of it, but few get all of it. Normally chat is about whatever is going on at that particular site. I might say "Grrr, dang kids/hubby annoying the crap outta me, brb". I am the same person, I'm just as nice/*itchy/crabby as I am in RL. So for me, SL is in SL until I know you well enough that I choose to share my rl voice/pic/name/whatever with you. But for me, that's been the same for the past 15 years.

Back then, the pics had to be from the same location. A back yard of sorts, with no directions to it. I spent an hour walking/camming around to find it. I was too new to know if it was resold freebies. If you're asking about being listed twice, probably because she has it in two different categories. So this same person or group of people have been doing this for awhile???? Yep, same person. I started February 2010, and I'd say this my experience was somewhere between February and March/April. I started dancing at clubs then, and gave up my modeling aspirations. LOL

Just thinking about that pic, I used it in my profile for a bit. The first time I walked into a store that had a "most recent visitor photo" thingie, I saw my pic up there. I was pissed, thinking she had used my (amateur & noobie) model pic against my wishes. *facepalm* Yes, I was still new! LOL
