Marriage Partner Hookup Megathread!

It is sad to see how many pages of male-player bashing you can find in the last few weeks´s worth of thread.
Do take into consideration that us males also have our own set of disfavorable meetings and encounters, yet we do not come here to rage about them.
It does not happen to only you ladies...

Oh well...

TBH, Women are usually prime targets online and men just come around and be bad.
It can but it's not as often as the men. Obviously, or someone would be talking about women.
It sucks a lot of guys can make this whole thing a negative experience, but of course the women can be just as bad.
It's more of a "Be safe" type of thing. You know the whole "Women don't exist online" thing? I never knew this thing to be a...thing
until now. This is why women have the need or feel to hide their genders all the time.

Post limit... GET BIGGER.

I wish I can say what I want to say without offending anyone, but until I do I'm just going to say there are Guys who DON'T care what's between people's legs. I'm one of them. Sadly that means noone really plays with you. Girls don't believe you, and guys well... they want those kitties. So It happens. Gaming is still full of guys looking for the girl that plays games. Lucky for me I did find a few peeps I can play with so yay. But that took a LONG time and I'm just looking for FRIENDS.

Won't lie, was getting pretty annoyed with it too. I mean even when my own app was up, I put 'guys only' despite not seeking IRL. But no one would accuse me of being a creep, because I'm a lady. Tired of people playing victim Olympics.

What is sad is that we can't even discuss an extremely common problem for women in MMOs without guys chirping in saying people are "male-bashing" and "it happens to guys too!" No one is saying it doesn't, the issue at hand is just how prevalent it is among female players and the harassment they get simply for stating their gender. It's childish to see this as a personal attack and try to twist it around back on yourself.

You like marmite?! You monster! Hehe...

Heathen!

In all seriousness, you seem really cool (I'm into writing, photography, anime etc. too), it's a shame you're on Odin. ;-;

To begin with, this statement is kind of hilarious considering that the very first comment above yours is from a lady complaining about the very same thing.

Secondly, i have not claimed that this was a "personal attack" or tried to make this issue "about males", i simply stated that because it happens to both genders, maybe there is no need to have this discussion every dozen or so pages.

The reason for my statement being that:

1) This is not the place to have these kind of discussions to begin with, and yet we already had it four times in the last month or so.
2) It keeps pushing everyone´s adds and applications back and further away from new and interested eyes.

These two points were agreed upon by pretty much everyone the last few times this discussion was taking place, yet you guys started it once again.
So no, i was not "making it about myself" and this goes beyond "guys chirping into your important women mmo troubles"

But of course, you could not help yourself but to go into a "Guys are mansplaining on muh FemIssues™" rant.

Quoting the lady above you :

Tired of people playing victim Olympics.

if you so badly want their conversation to go away why add more fuel to the flames? As a male myself and as I saw your post before you edited are you sure you arent the one "projecting" here? All I saw in their previous post was a few girls warning others to keep an eye out for the occasional creeps out there. I didn't see anyone post saying "this only happens to females. Feminism!" It's a simple hard fact that guys lose their shit whenever they find out a real girl exists behind a character. Not all guys but some.

Really there's no need to get so upset about it if it doesn't really apply to you, as least that's how I see it. Besides everything was getting back on topic.... let a few people have conversations.it's not the end of the world

I won't respond to certain other posts for the sake of bringing this to a close (though part of me is a little frustrated that there's always one person pushing for this particular topic to be quickly closed for their own convenience, I don't want arguing to inhibit anyone else's usage of this thread), but it's been heartening reading the replies from guys who saw the conversation for what it was and understood, so thank you.

I'd like to post here myself when the atmosphere feels a little less uncomfortable (or perhaps I'll make the friend thread after all, heheheh.)

Btw Sage you just rekindled it when it was over.
