I Need a Lover Who Won't Drive Me Crazy
|
HEY HEARTUN: I'm new to Second Life and to the whole online thing. I got a computer after a real life divorce, and like the idea of having a relationship that is safe and at arms length. I was married to my now ex-husband since 1972, and have not been with anyone else. We were high school sweethearts. My problem is that I've been sitting on a bench in the Ahern Welcome Area and the only 'men' who IM me are young, horny and abrasive. What am I doing wrong? ~ MATURE BUT INEXPERIENCED
DEAR MATURE: There's nothing safe about a Second Life relationship. Be prepared to have your heart broken. It will happen, over and over, and the whole mess is still a beautiful thing. That said, your immediate problem is two-fold: your "love product" is badly packaged and poorly marketed. Love is a product, you ask? You betcha babe! In real life and in Second Life we all judge books by their cover. I bet you try to tell yourself how beautiful you are on the inside, and how that 'special someone' will see it by some magical means. Stop the fairytale, it doesn't work that way sister! For Second Life you should pony up some bucks for a custom skin, some nice hair, and a hot outfit. Then get out of the Ahern Welcome Area; it is overpopulated by griefers, freaks and tards (with about four or five nice, helpful people). Do what other noobs do, and hang out at a dance club for a while. Don't stay in the clubs forever or you're lame, but its a good way to meet people when you are new to all of this. And in real life go join a healt club or the YMCA and spend the next six months sculpting that body of yours into one that draws the eyes of a sexy senior. Invest in some new clothing too. And not more of the same sacks you've been covering yourself up with since the '70's.
