Well, considering the current state of SL if you want consistent posting you have two choices - and I am the social one of the us compared to that woman.

Not nearly as bad as what I just added to Sam's backstory. It's so fucking awful even I think it's beyond the pale.

Hahaha
Yeah, I admit that WOULD be a bit awkward for me to have a male GM roleplaying my character's love interest.
As for the whole males-playing-females thing: that reminds me of something I saw on the shadowrun quotefile once:
WHY I HATE MALES PLAYING FEMALES. Take 1: Male PC playing a female character: "I dodge like a girl, you know in a feminine sort of way, making myself look helpless..." Everyone else: "Huh???" GM: "Okay... roll your combat pool, TN 6. There's a +2 for "acting femine". If you aren't going to dodge like your life depended on it suck the penalties!" PC: "What?!" (Argument follows)
Take 2: GM: "The facility is on full alert, the sec guard in front of the entrance has a shotgun and he looks nervous..." Male playing female PC: "I step out of concealment, unarmed and start walking towards him." GM (as sec guard, levels shotgun):"Halt!" M/F PC: "I start doing a striptease." GM: "Top or bottom first?" M/F PC (with a big grin): "Bottom!" GM: "He fires." M/F PC: "What?! I leap to the side!" GM: "You try to leap out of the shotgun blast forgetting about your pants around your ankles; sending you crashing to the ground..."

I love those two examples. Dodge like a girl? Is that like "throw like a girl' and "run like a girl?" Geez, that's as bad as me saying: to get out of the problem I think like a man. I scratch my crotch and see if the guard with the shot gun has a cute ass.-beer belch-

*raises hand*
I throw like a girl because I never practiced baseball, softball, etc. I have poor accuracy and power and don't follow through appropriately.

to talk about something that isn't emo's favorite subject: who has characters with significant others, rather than just others? ie, lasting, serious relationships as opposed to flings?
SL James

Current or former?
A couple of my characters were serial monogamists (either completely, or most of the time) until around the same time for various reasons.

Clearly not—the "too" has actually been spelled out.

I do admit one player has a curious goal of wanting to make huge amounts of money to keep a harem in the Swiss Alps.

I think his justification was that he wanted to be in some climate controlled fortress away from his enemies.
You know, Bond villain.

Back to the topic, my wife just started playing shadowrun with me, and she is playing a male bounty hunter, with a real knack for social situations. I am totally blown away with how much she flirts with the women NPC's to try and get info out of them. And being from that species, she knows all the rules. Has me laughing with her commentary like, "better not flirt with her while her friend is around, or they will both think I am a jerk" (being a lowly evolved male, I never would have picked up on that) but the best line was, "I better get a girlfriend, as a bounty hunter I just don't have time to cook and clean." My jaw hit the floor to hear that come out of her mouth. totally in character, but out of character for her. (I was very proud)

Yeah, I really admire people who can pull of opposite sex characters, especially straight ones. I know it would be hard for me to play a male, unless he were either gay or very shy around women: I could try to flirt, but I'd be all "Um...uh...you're very pretty." It just wouldn't work.

Mwah hwah, but you see, I would argue that things like that are things which women would think of but not men. I don't think I ever remember hearing a man say, "I need a girlfriend for cooking and cleaning"; on the contrary, the squalor of an unmarried young man's apartment is the stuff of proverbs.
Neverthless, interesting post.
