Is it WRONG to pick up girls in a dungeon? ^_^

I'm an equal opportunity flirt.

"You're so positive. You must be a girl."

I had this said to me once in a previous game.

A friend picked up his GF during a roulette. They started dating after they found out they were on the same server. It's a wild world out there in the DF..

Wow, I'm lucky to get functioning people.

I just had this happen this morning in ARF. Any of you single ladies want to take a shot at this tank?

Me too. Oh, and if you talk a lot (well chat in LS, party or FC chat) you must be a girl. If you don't swear, you must be a girl. If you're not a jerk, you must be a girl. If you show concern for others you must be a girl. I've experienced all of those, and more besides. XD

Yeah, I admit the assumptions are really stupid. There's literally no way to tell what gender a player is (even the extent of getting to know them and seeing photos could be a potential catfish). I find it kind of funny how people don't realise that by now.

absolutely. This is why I make it a policy to address other players by their name and apparent gender in-game, unless they tell me otherwise. It's just easier that way, and if you're not making unwarranted assumptions or advances, there's no reason to know either way.

My boyfriend and I were basically best friends before we became partners, so there was never that awkward questioning, but I imagine it's annoying. The other side is people just assuming female characters are men in real life, but I usually play along as I have nothing to prove to anyone. ^^

Exactly. If someone chooses to play a female character, then they are a female character. If they choose male, then they are male. If they choose Roegadyn they are the Hulk, is just easier that way...

But really, a player's avatar says nothing about the player's real life gender, sexuality, race, politics, etc...so it's much easier to just go by what you see on screen rather than assuming something.

I had someone make the assumption that I was a guy because I played too well, and was hit on during ffxi. It was awkward, to say the least.

Haven't had any of that here, attitudes must have caught up or I'm playing at the wrong times. xD

^^ FFXI was the worst, played a female Hume; never again.



Male avatars are the perfect repellant #spreadtheword
