second life

So I got second life and I portrayed myself as a young white male, who was just trying to meet girls. It was actually really interesting and addicting. I was even playing it during another class. I got to design my own outfits, how I wanted to look in second life and meet and talk to new and other people. First I just walked around with the basic character they gave me, and met a lot of girls. It was fun, because I used the same pick up line on these girls that I have experienced or been said to. Its funny because I used the line "Baby are you from heaven coz you look so divine." It was a really cheeesy line that I heard one, and I remmeber saying this to myself, that if any girl falls for that line, she is really desperate. So when I used that line on a girl, she said the same exact thing. She was like even in SL (second life) girls dont fall for corny lines like that. I wish I had the snapshots of these conversations, but the game was crashing my laptop so I had to delete it.

I found it really interesting that even though its a fake game, like you are not really meeting these people, or really even talking to them, they still behave the same way. Like when I got the basic character the default character from the game, I wasnt able to get any girls, no matter how "smooth" my pick up lines were. Then I changed myself up, (I had to ask some girls how to sexy myself up, and people were actually very nice and helped me, because I was totoally lost) I actually made the guy look decent, or what I thought would be a cute looking guy in real life. After that, I tried to meet girls, and it became a whole lot easier. Like one time, this girl started hitting on me.

I wish I was able to play the game further, make more money, because money is a key factor. Like girls are always going after good looking rich guys. However, I enjoyed the 2 day experience that I had with the game.
