It depends. People hug and kiss virtually all over the place, meh. It can get annoying, that's true, but I let people be if they're serious with each other. I can just say; internet relationships in general won't work out.

I don't care what people do. If people want to date in a video game, let them, it's not our business.

And haven't we had this goddamn discussion before?

hmm i can see a problem with it, but it's honestly of no concern to anyone outside that relationship. so if you see someone dating on a game or just online entirely i dont see any need to be upset by it.

Fact: 90% of players that complain about personal relationships and virtual marriages in online games are immature kids.

Mreh, I dont care if people want to, but it is a little weird imo, sometimes with mmo's you wouldnt even know what they sound like let alone what they look like either, Id never want to do it but if people can be happy with in game video game dating then good for them I guess

Funfact: I play as a female human, and one of my friends plays as a male beast, so I guess you could technically say we're a BF-GF pair (even though it's not that serious, more like friends more than anything)
Here's the fun part, I'm a guy in real life, my friend's a girl, talk about your gender reversal LOL

Edit:

On a more serious note, if people want to have relationships and get married over the internet, i dont see a reason in stopping them or questioning them. Its the same with different religious customs. Just let them do their thing, and you do yours.

It probably isn't human nature to waste your time trying to preach your way of life to others on an internet forum, either. It doesn't matter what people do.

Cyber sex is the most hilarious act one can partake in.

I remember going to some guys room to buy something and catching him and some other character having cyber sex, with the parrot repeating some of the obscenities they said before i walked in.


Funniest. Shit. Ever.

Kylie shrugs at this thread and notes it in an obnoxious third person. People do what makes them happy, and if they can do it and want to do it, I don't see how that affects you or why you should care. Unless you're tired of PDA, which annoys me too but can be just as annoying as PDA in real life. Maybe not to you, but that would be the difference in our perspectives.

Brainwrecked, you could have just said lurk moar. :wacko:

Seeing as how this thread's already been moved to Off-Topic....

Yeah, I could have, but I wanted to be clear that I'm neither promoting nor bashing "alternative lifestyles." Perhaps my outlook has been influenced by my early days on the internet, back on dial-up access, back when ICQ was all the rage, and I would have random people message me "GAY!" as if I gave a rat's ass.

Gay or not, that's an awfully desperate way to reach out and type fuck someone.

So now we have a member who has "I'm bi, so what?" in their signature. Whatever. Leave it go. It's harmless. And even if it's attention-whoring, it's only a single notch on a scale of 10. Maybe this person has been picked on enough over it that they have to come here and announce it, like some weird test to themselves that if they don't get trolled right out of PSOW, then their preferences are OK. Maybe I'm just reading between the lines when there's really only blank space.

On the flip side, you're going to have the inevitable troll. I made sure to quote the person doing the trolling when they said that's all they were doing. An admission of trolling is the real life equivalent of telling someone that you're yanking their chain. Thankfully, this is PSOW. Hate-filled trolling is minimal compared to other places. *cough* Official Forums *cough*

But all this discussion leads back to my point -- who gives a flying fuck about any of this on a message board devoted to a series of video games?

If I would have left it at "lurk moar" both sides could take it wrong way and all of the sudden I'm the asshole. Which I can be. Just not now.

My freind met someone on psu last year. He now lives with her on the other side of the country (freind lived in new york now he lives in washington statewith her.) They are happy together.

Based on what iv'e seen so far it doesnt seem so bad. Just another way of meeting people imo.

XD in an age where most activities are socially disabled, and those that aren't are economically unreasonable, i cant blame people for trying other methods for meeting and interacting with others, be it love interest or not

to each his own, just dont pull it out in front of me XP

I can take in-game or long distance relationships seriously or not seriously depending on the people.

If it's a bunch of 14-16 year olds, then it's NOT going to work out, I assure you. But if there's a case where there is a pair of adults in a long distance relationship, then it could be possible assuming they have the resources to visit each other in person.
Or if they're a bunch of low-life internet junkies that never leave the house EVER then I could also assume in that situation it's not going to work regardless of age.

I don't pick on people about it, though. Sometimes the lack of physical interaction can make people feel more secure, including myself; and they can be more open about themselves. I'm sure someone who met their spouse online knows them much better than a couple who met in person. (After they've met, of course.)

Yes we have.

On to the topic, I have no problem with with people dating each other virtually in a video game as long as they are realistic about the true nature of the relationship and it's limitations.

Don't fall for someone who lives 1000's of miles away who you will probably never meet in real life. Don't use a virtual relationship as a substitute for a real one. Don't concentrate all of your effort on your virtual relationship and ignore your real life partner ( that's more or less cheating ).

It just seems like alot of people that get into these relationships don't have the means to ever meet one another or are using it as an escape from their bad situation.

But hey, it's all good. Sometimes it feels like I know people better online than I do my next-door neighbors. So that's cool if you can make it work out IRL. I've never met anyone IRL that I knew online first...

lol, nice.

If people want to date local, long distance, character & character, etc., I say let them. They just need to keep trying their options until they find "that right person", or what "works best" for them. Some people like physical contact, some don't :wacko:. I guess it varies from person to person.

It's getting all Myspace up in this thread.
I think the whole long distance dating among kids has to do with being shy and afraid of rejection. Most when asked to meet the people they're seeing would find a convenient way of getting out of it.

i remember a week ago i glanced over and saw a topic on dr phil about a woman that moved to palestine to be with her boyfriend she met on myspace at 18 years old... lol

i am not a believer in online relationships, especially through a game. personally, i dont really care. but its entertaining when someone will bone up on their philosophy via wikipedia to make an argument about "what is real" to validate their DIGITAL RELATIONSHIP... as long as it makes them feel the way they did when they convinced themselves as a kid that their love affair with a movie star was REAL.

and yes, this topic came up before, but i dont possess that same amount of energy to write a novel on something we've covered
