Being a bit facecious here, but Honestly, the numbers of people Inclined to Completely replace RL dating with an on line alternative are Incredibly small. I don’t think the gene pool is about to take a massive hit from On Line Dating.

The Baroness has hit on one of the basic principles of fame, “Say something Outrageously controversial, and get yourself talked about, Factual Data Optional”. Her claims are enough to get her some additional ink for a few weeks, but they don’t reflect reality at all.

Angel.

Now I grant, we have to play RL a lot. Can’t be helped with the current state of technology. And yes, RL has lots of problems. There are criminals who are out to steal all your hard-earned dollars and inventory items. Sometimes they are brutal and violent, threatening the equivalent of a permaban to your RL account. (Usually the latter is phrased in terms of opening a beer in your head.) There are bugs in the program which cause tornadoes and hurricanes — to name two of the phenomena — that repeatedly destroy people’s inventories all over the current populated Planetverse.

Relationships in RL are very dangerous, and unlike SL, there are dozens of kinds. There are the fleeting ones at the bar. There are the terminated relationship with your spouse, usually terminated because of the earlier fleeting one. There’s the permanent ones with family who you can’t get rid of no matter what you try. There’s the business relationship with people you don’t even like, but have to put up with if you want to keep this great game going. There are the friends who aren’t around when you need them, but are quick to come to you whenever they need something.

All these stresses lead one to dangerous pasttimes, like booze, sex and drugs. All will take the stress of the game away for a short time. But each has its own dangers and drawbacks. Booze and drugs will get you in trouble with another unwanted relationship — law enforcement. And sex is harder to acquire in RL than it is in SL. It is also far more dangerous; there are RL sex transmitted diseases that will make your penis turn into a cube, fade to black and fall off. This may not be that big a deal in SL, but penises in RL aren’t designed to do that. Nor are they designed to be reattached.

If you wonder why we bother to play this stupid game when there are so many problems with it, then join the club. I’ve been wondering why I bother to work so hard and pour so much energy into RL when it really doesn’t mean anything. What’s the point? It’s not like any of us can level up or anything. So while you are stuck playing this boring RL, remember that the fun and interesting SL will be back again soon. Keep on slogging through the poor graphics and lame physics (Can’t even fly!) of RL until the SL comes back online again. Show patience and you will be able to log in again and claim your reward soon.

That is a real crazy thing to think, more crazy to say. People are not so one dimensional. Plus we are talking about sex. Real sex! One of the whole reasons SL works is because people are driven by there hormons and a desire for real sex. Plus put a picture of an SL woman and a RL woman next to each other, the cartoon woman does nothing for me, the real woman.. wow, I like.

It’s well known that RL shootings are committed by people who are way fucked in the head. Violent video games or not.

Its not the real life, but many live them self so hard in to it that thay ” become” the avatar..and thats the danger,i think its bout beeing mature and se all as what it are.
For a adult person that are openminded and mature there are usly no problems, but it can be a problem with a teenager in this 3D games online or in ny PC games or xbox or PS2 games, its well known that shooting games can trigger RL shooting, many games are mature 18 limit, but we all know its easy for any kid to get it.

If you got a problem with the game and the roles in SL or any other place you just need to take a brake from it,, think over what you do and then decide if you realy want to play.Some ppl like to read,,some like to look at mocies,, some like to walk in the wood,, and some like to play 3D games….we are all different
