I’m returning today to espouse more feminism because really, I think it’s time that certain gamers (you know who you are) need to learn how much originality you lack in your choice of words when you happen to alight upon a member of the female species in server.
I realise that it’s probably quite exciting for you considering that the only women you have been exposed to before are not actually real, so perhaps one could excuse the fact that you don’t know how to interact socially. I’m still going to offer you a few tips though; because this is how you’re doing it wrong:
#1: The Ascii penis (8===D)
Ok look. I will admit that in my first couple of goes at internetting I did get offended by finding those on my screen. However, the offendedness kind of wore off after seeing my 90 millionth badly-drawn winky. This why I say: You’re not the first to draw one of those.
Most girls are pretty jaded in this regard by now.
Just stop because it’s lame.
I’m sure if you thought hard enough there is something more creative you could use?
#2: Calling me fat, ugly or slutty:
You’ve never seen me before so calling me one of those when I know that I’m not any of those (average-looking still isn’t ugly and anyways, I’m actually a duck IRL) is pretty redundant. So try again newbies.
P.S. I’m not a lesbian because I don’t want to sleep with you. Actually, I’m intelligent and sane.
#3: Messages like these:
As you can see from the mere volume of correspondence in that vein, you’re not the first, it’s dumb, we’re not going to reply because you are 12 and you really shouldn’t fritter away your (potentially) valuable time in futile gestures of this nature.
At least the dude below displayed some sort of creative thought in composing his message:
We’ll still decline to have sex with you, but things of that sort are at least amusing.
I’m not actually going to tell you how to interact socially in an acceptable manner because I hate you, but I’m just trying to point out where you’re going wrong. I know you won’t stop attentionwhoring because I wrote this, but hopefully some of you will take this to heart and learn how to do it right. GLHF.
