wait wait..is that the end? without cowboyangel throwing his 3 cents in the ring?.tisha2 wrote:yeah... interesting undercurrent to this discussion of: "yer avatar is hot, so of course people are hitting on you!" like, "well, she was wearing a short skirt, of course she wanted it!" (not attacking you, Rob... i thought yer post was very funny! - although if you want, i'd be happy to address it on yer conflict resolution thread... )
i *do* enjoy flirting and sexy banter with y'all that i have grown to know and love, and that is apparant all over this board.
i *did* recognize that i had the hot little klingon babe avatar (as a lil inside joke regarding bar shenanigans a few nights ago, not as an advertisement for 'tisha2, virtual slut').
i *did* change my avatar upon realizing this.
i *did* feel a little bit perturbed that i had to alter my 'image' to avoid harassment.
feminist rant aside, i think Rian and Sam both really hit on what i was getting at with this thread - that real-world social 'rules' apply here as well. when entering a new group, or meeting a new person, you either take it easy and gauge the situation before throwing yerself into it - IF you want it to go smoothly; or (if you aren't the type to care) you throw yerself in full-throttle and are either wholeheartedly welcomed, if yer full-throttle self happens to fit with that group, or you run the risk of being cooked and eaten and thrown out if it doesn't. in which case you probably don't care.
anyway thanks for the feedback, y'all.
ok, for what it's worth. The only person here who I'm sure wouldn't mind the kind of attention being 'thrust' foward here is Kristy. But you know, she's got a brain and feelings and there is much about her that is very wise. I know because I've talked to her on the phone even! I do mention to people that I'm married and yes, I've had my ups and downs with that one but it seems to be sailing nicely now and yes I love to flirt too. I like to try to make personal contacts with some of you too. I've exchanged gifts with Joel, almost had DVD Burner over to my house, (he couldn't make it at the time) (now don't worry Joel about any implications there), I've had private emails with Tish and Bambi and been PM'd by a bunch of you and what seems to work is just being myself and shooting for honesty all the time. You , we all know what the creepazoid feeling is and for that I think we should have a sex advice thread with Rob and Rian as moderators ( why them? I donno). naw we all know how to deal with the creepazoid thing. But more importantly, this thread and the type of question it asks is where I'd like to see eplaya heading more in addition to what's already here. We are all friends after all ieven even this weird cyber way and occasionally we do meet. I'd love to see a day in the life type of thing here on the board...yes yes, I'll go to Kristy's ranch to cover that one. Ya but really. think about it sports fans and tisha2, I love you! And MONSTER KISSES ALL OVER YOU FOR THIS THREAD!!!!
