“I recently lost my partner but I
go hang out in good dance clubs,
some swanky places, yet the guys
never ask me to dance. Am I that
ugly? What am I doing wrong?”
GET
YOUR
GROOVE
ON AND
MAYBE
YOU’LL
FIND A
GROOVY
GUY.
Being a wallflower, WallFlower, is not
always so bad because it gives us a
chance to see what’s going on around
us. Unfortunately in SL what one sees
is not always what one gets. You may
be observing guys not talking or asking
you to dance, but you cannot see
whether they have half a dozen instant
messages going on simultaneously,
or whether they simply have SL idly in
the background while they watch the
football on television.
VANITY MIRROR
makers tend to do some things better
than others.
You don’t say whether you are male
or female in RL, not that it matters
much, but it might influence your
choice of avatar appearance too. The
purpose you want your avatar to look
a certain way is also relevant. Do you
want your avatar to be an escort or
dancer? Do you want your avatar to
become a vampire or some other role
play character? An avatar can still be
petite, sexy and adorable yet be pasty
white and dressed in gothic garb with
discrete fangs.
Also consider that a lot of what
appeals to the eye in SL is the way
an avatar moves. So investing in the
right animation overrider (AO) will be
important to achieve the sexy and
adorable look you want.
WallFlower is struggling to get a guy
It may be the case that you have to
take the initiative and ask some fellows
first and see what response you get.
You will quickly see if they are away
from their keyboard or show some
interest.
Also take a careful look at your profile.
Does it display defensiveness, a
tendency to depressiveness or display
a lot of past hurts? These are not going
to be flames to which the male moths
get attracted.
Revealing realistic things but not too
much to strangers that have not yet
earned the right to intimate facts about
you is best. Highlight the things you
like to do best and hopefully guys that
read your profile that like that too, will
contact you with interest.
Also remember that SL is not going
to be more successful in the search
for love than real life, if that is what
you are after. If it’s just dancing, don’t
forget that there are lots of great and
groovy dance animations you can do
solo even in a dance club. WallFlower
get your groove on and maybe you’ll
find a groovy guy.
