i have to say that probably works. but i don't think "hey first things first, i have a girlfriend" or "i am not interested in you in anyway physically, only in the game" count as appropriate conversation starters. for every jack ass thats out there, there is about 1500 decent men who would never try to ask someone to see their tits on forum or online game. i find this even more infuriating in first person shooters than MMORPGS. you have no idea how many times in MW2 i get accused of trying to fucking hit on a girl just cause i say "go ahead and take that care package" i don't give a crap if your anatomy is different than mine. there is a difference between being a team player and a team "playah".Demented Teddy said:Nearly every one I've givin a chance to has turned out to be "one of those guys"TheSquirrelisKing said:I happen to be a guy myself and I must admit, guys are dicks. It's sad, because a lot of times on the internet and other similar digital locations a poorly worded introduction and they just assume that you're "one of those guys".
I'll stick with saying "F OFF!" rather then getting pissed off later.
incidentally, i did meet my girlfriend on a fourm site so i can't really criticize too much. but we've been together for 3 years and actually seen each other so i don't think it as shallow anymore.
