Because sometimes they're rude, not stupid

As the late great Lillie Yifu used to say, offered without comment:


[16:12] Lovegod Lewis: Well, I read your profile, thought it over, and I think I may want to know you.
[16:12] Amanda Amaterasu smiles
[16:12] Lovegod Lewis: {loves her smile]
[16:12] Lovegod Lewis: [Loves her body]
[16:13] Lovegod Lewis: lol
[16:13] Lovegod Lewis: I got a smile
[16:13] Lovegod Lewis: Di I get a hello?
[16:13] Lovegod Lewis: DO
[16:13] Amanda Amaterasu: Sure. Hello.
[16:14] Lovegod Lewis: [sorry]
[16:14] Lovegod Lewis: Good
[16:14] Lovegod Lewis: So, having broken the ice, I presume I need to cay something clever
[16:14] Lovegod Lewis: [lat me think.....]
[16:14] Lovegod Lewis: damn my spelling
[16:16] Lovegod Lewis: Do you have a favorite place where we might get away from the, uh-hum, crowd?
[16:16] Amanda Amaterasu: Not really
[16:16] Lovegod Lewis: IC
[16:16] Lovegod Lewis: OK
[16:17] Lovegod Lewis: maybe this isnt such a good idea then.
[16:17] Amanda Amaterasu: Sorry... you're not really what I'm looking for... but good luck and enjoy!
[16:17] Lovegod Lewis: Its OK baby 'cause your not what im lookin for either.
[16:18] Amanda Amaterasu: No problem, bye!
[16:19] Lovegod Lewis: asshole
[16:20] Amanda Amaterasu falls down laughing.
[16:20] Amanda Amaterasu: Now, there's no need for that. I'm not the only woman here. So just move on and enjoy your day.
[16:21] Lovegod Lewis: you think you are the first stuck up girl to make herself feel important by prick teasing in the free sex room?
[16:21] Amanda Amaterasu: Simmer down now.
[16:22] Lovegod Lewis: leave you baggage in rl
[16:22] Amanda Amaterasu: I think you need to shut off your computer, take a deep breath, skip through some daisies or something. There's no reason why I should hit such a nerve.

Lost in translation

[11:39] Closer Sideways: salut

[11:40] Amanda Amaterasu: Fine, thanks

[11:41] Closer Sideways: my name is fethi and u
[11:41] Amanda Amaterasu: As far as you're concerned, it's Amanda.
[11:41] Amanda Amaterasu: It's rude to ask for real names here.
[11:41] Closer Sideways: glad to meet u

[11:42] Closer Sideways: so i speak english little , i wana said

[11:46] Closer Sideways: why ?
[11:46] Amanda Amaterasu: Because you ask nosy questions.
[11:46] Amanda Amaterasu: This is Second Life, don't ask for my real name.
[11:47] Closer Sideways: okay
[11:47] Closer Sideways: i dn't like to disturb u sorry


OK, in retrospect, perhaps I was a bit harsh on Closer. But really, why ask for real names within the first few moments of conversation?

Just remember all caps when you speak the name

[10:13] ALLO Capital: HI
[10:13] Amanda Amaterasu: Hello
[10:13] ALLO Capital: SPANISH?
[10:14] Amanda Amaterasu: No, I'm American.
[10:14] ALLO Capital: OKI
[10:14] Amanda Amaterasu: Why are you typing in all caps?
[10:14] ALLO Capital: SEX YOU MI HAUSE?
[10:14] ALLO Capital: MU
[10:14] Amanda Amaterasu: Why are you typing in all caps?
[10:14] Amanda Amaterasu: That's been considered yelling on the internet since at least 1996.
[10:15] ALLO Capital: ?
[10:16] ALLO Capital: baby, do you come with me to my house¿?
[10:16] ALLO Capital: baby, do you come with me to my house¿?
[10:16] Amanda Amaterasu: My name isn't baby.
[10:16] ALLO Capital: AMANDLA baby, do you come with me to my house¿?
[10:16] Amanda Amaterasu: My name isn't Amandla, and I don't go places with people who yell
[10:17] ALLO Capital: OK
[10:17] ALLO Capital: BYE
[10:18] Amanda Amaterasu: Bye, and stop yelling at people.

Hey baby hey baby hey

There's something to be said for using a woman's name when speaking to her. One well placed, creative pet name while flirting can be exciting and sensual. Constant "hey baby" comments just make a male look like a leering jerk. That was the case with this guy.


[22:37] Iluvya Babii: You look incredible
[22:38] Amanda Amaterasu: Thank you
[22:38] Iluvya Babii: lol you dont EVEn see me lol;)

[22:40] Iluvya Babii: lol why not baby?
[22:41] Amanda Amaterasu: Because I hate being called "baby", "princess", and "sugar" by strangers... only people who know me well may call me that
[22:41] Amanda Amaterasu: That's why
[22:41] Iluvya Babii: lolol
[22:41] Iluvya Babii: damn
[22:41] Iluvya Babii: sorry

[22:43] Iluvya Babii: right.. well its very attractive... have a great night
[22:43] Amanda Amaterasu: You too!

No means no. No, really, no means no.

Making my normal rounds of the orgy rooms, I've noticed that today they've been oddly quiet. I suppose this means that the regulars have returned to middle school and they can't access SL in their classrooms.

I guess that's why the guys who approached me today had a bit more of an... assertive approach.

The first conversation happened in Cupidus.

[7:30] Letshavefun Now: hey
[7:30] Amanda Amaterasu: Hello
[7:30] Letshavefun Now: great lokk
[7:30] Amanda Amaterasu: Thanks
[7:31] Letshavefun Now: wanna fun together miss?
[7:31] Amanda Amaterasu: No
[7:31] Letshavefun Now: what are you looking here
[7:32] Amanda Amaterasu: I'll know when/if I find it
[7:32] Letshavefun Now: girl?
[7:32] Amanda Amaterasu: No
[7:32] Letshavefun Now: well you find me
[7:32] Letshavefun Now: :)
[7:33] Amanda Amaterasu: You're not really what I'm looking for though
[7:33] Letshavefun Now: what kind of ava u look
[7:33] Amanda Amaterasu: It's not the type of avatar, it's the type of personality
[7:33] Amanda Amaterasu: The avatar is important, don't get me wrong
[7:34] Amanda Amaterasu: And I realize that this is "Free Sex Empire"
[7:34] Amanda Amaterasu: But being asked for "fun" right away is a turn off
[7:34] Letshavefun Now: u have right
[7:35] Letshavefun Now: wanna free sex ?
[7:35] Amanda Amaterasu: No

I naively assumed that "I'll know when/if I find it" would be his clue that I wasn't interested in Letshavefun. Apparently, no, that was his cue to keep trying. Third time's the charm, I suppose.

The room was going to experience a region restart, so I left and went to another den of iniquity. Within seconds, I was spanked by some random guy. I was about to walk away when...

[7:46] Spanker McGee: ahaha just had to spank your cute butt.
[7:46] Amanda Amaterasu: Jeez, that's just as bad as the unsolicited vampire bites
[7:47] Spanker McGee: haahhaha
[7:48] Spanker McGee: bites transform you. a little spank does not
[7:48] Spanker McGee: lol
[7:48] Amanda Amaterasu: They're equally annoying, and I did not consent to being spanked
[7:48] Spanker McGee: true, but its a sexroom afterall. you can expect it.
[7:49] Spanker McGee: but i wont do it anymore
[7:49] Amanda Amaterasu: Actually, no, I don't expect it, most men at least have the decency to approach me and attempt to engage me in conversation. They don't assume it's ok to spank someone

While I was speaking to Spanker, I was accosted by a nude man from across the room. Now, I'm all for personal space; I don't enjoy having my toes stepped on. With that being said, the IMs from across the room give the impression that the guy is looking for some random hole to fuck, and not in any particular woman. Guys, if you're going to approach a woman anywhere, at least make some kind of attempt to be in her immediate view.

[7:47] Spacey Looker: hi
[7:47] Spacey Looker: how are you?
[7:47] Amanda Amaterasu: I'm fine, thanks, and you?
[7:47] Spacey Looker: fine, thank you
[7:48] Spacey Looker: are you here looking for some fun?
[7:48] Amanda Amaterasu: Perhaps
[7:49] Spacey Looker: i think the upper floor is closed
[7:49] Spacey Looker: but i think i can go there anyways
[7:49] Spacey Looker: wanna come with me?
[7:49] Amanda Amaterasu: No
[7:49] Spacey Looker: we will be alone
[7:50] Amanda Amaterasu: That's ok
[7:51] Spacey Looker: do you want a tp?
[7:51] Amanda Amaterasu: No

I don't even get a "hello"?

I realize that the noob sex rooms exist for noobs to have sex. And to make money off of said noobs. I know this. That doesn't mean that the standards for politeness go out the window when approaching someone.

And as this conversation progressed, I wondered if this is the SL equivalent of not being able to get it up? I mean, he didn't even make a cursory attempt to attempt to seduce me when I asked.

[11:23] Mister Personality: hi how about us using these balls
[11:24] Amanda Amaterasu: To do what?
[11:24] Mister Personality: well the last time it was for sex
[11:24] Amanda Amaterasu: Oh
[11:24] Amanda Amaterasu: Well, why would I want to do that with you, instead of with another guy?
[11:25] Mister Personality: because i am very very good and i need to be with you and nobody else
[11:26] Amanda Amaterasu: Are you very, very good? Or are you just going to mount a ball and type "mmmmmm"?
[11:26] Mister Personality: try me lol i don't do Mmmm

(at this point he removed his pants and hopped on the nearest poseball.)

[11:26] Amanda Amaterasu: OK, prove it.
[11:26] Amanda Amaterasu: With your words.
[11:26] Amanda Amaterasu: If you're good, you don't need a poseball.
[11:27] Mister Personality: I know but it helps set the scene
[11:27] Amanda Amaterasu: You seem like a smart guy. Try setting the scene without poseballs.
[11:28] Mister Personality: ok normally i would just do it but its been a long day and i need to relax a bit so will you be here later so i can give you my full attention
[11:29] Amanda Amaterasu: Perhaps I will, perhaps I will not. But since I thought you were in the mood for sex, I guess you are unable to set a scene without poseballs.
[11:29] Mister Personality: and my 'script' is geared to the position
[11:29] Amanda Amaterasu: Pity. It could have been fun.
