So you think shes a girlFollow

Hi guys~ And, um, maybegirls...

I've read the OPs anger (and seen my own friends go through similar things with guys lying about being girls... to the point of showing pictures of someone else and all) and I've also read the responses (don't use the game as a dating service) but I've watched this time and again over my years playing this game...

Boys (Men, whatever) tend to treat people they THINK are girls differently, even if it's not about dating the player or anything. "Girls" get by with **** that a guy would get kicked from a party for. "Girls" get people spending hours and hours farming for them and camping NMs for them. "Girls" can hit level 75 in a job with a playing skill that would be embarrassing at level 50 but no one has the balls to say anything about it because they're 'just a girl'.

You know what, I hate to break it to you, but a lot of those 'just a girl's aren't girls at all. They're using you. OK, some of them really are girls, but they're using you too.

And you know what? A lot of the competent players you play with are 'secretly' girls, who don't want to deal with the CRAP you get if people find out you really are a girl. From "Wanna CYBER"? to the implication that you are somehow an inferior player and therefore need to be protected from any criticism which might make you a BETTER player...

My advice: don't let yourself be used by people claiming to be women. Your chances of ending up disillusioned like the OP are way way way (x about a billion) higher than your chances of getting laid.

p.s. There is no Easter Bunny

OMGZ wanna cyber????


I have gilz

Not only am I a Galka, I'm a girl too. /sigh I have broken many hearts.

If one day it changes, I'm sure I'd get bored with it quickly.

That's why I choose to be a Galka, problem solved because now I'm one of the *guys*. I won't even tell you how offen I was hit on in EQ because it's sad...just really sad.

I'm a girl too~ And you just said exactly what I was trying to say. There are plenty of girls who work just as hard as boys for what they get. The ones who are using you... whether they're girls or maybegirls... aren't worth your time!

It is a RPG, but most people dont RP in it in a traditional way.

Its one thing to be a guy and play a girl, and NOT flirt and try to 'attract' people, its another thing to just lie and manipulate people.

I have a mule who is a mithra thf, and while leveling it I do tend to get checked more, but it usualy ends at /ma "Protect /ma "Shell" /ma "Cure" /goodbye. And this isnt exactly rare when using my regular hume male.

Certainly if its taken farther than that, such as /t I always tell them I'm a guy.

edit: And there are actually quite a few reasons why a guy would play a female, espically a mithra. For one, like someone else said yo uspend a lot of time looking at it. Second, in my case I wanted tos tart in windurst because it is the best place to level up a character, because it has pretty good drops.(honey chips silk etc) I also have almsot always made male hume's in sandoria, so I never got the lvl1 ring, so I had to choose between taru and mithra, well, I tried a taru once and hate how small they are, hate the view being so low.. Hate my char disapearing in high grass.. its egh.

No no, I don't think you get it.

He's not saying that girls are weak, or stupid, or don't work for anything. He's not saying anything that you should take offense to, at all, in any way.

He's saying that, like the OP's scenario, there are tons of guys who hop on FFXI, pretend to be girls, and take advantage of every horny nerd they can.

Perfect example: I used to play WoW. There was someone on the official WoW forums who posted a detailed story, with pictures, of how he made a fake Myspace page for a fake girl character that he pretended to be. He then got his job (Hunter, I think) to 60, and with barely any Tier 0 he managed to find an uber end-game guild. Within a month he had his Tier 2.5 gear. He said that he played like crap during the raids, too.

Point of this whole thing is, some people will do anything for someone who's pretending to be a cute, flirty girl. And some people will exploit this to the fullest.

Well, since I'm at work, i can't view the link. I'll have to look at it once I get home.

Who cares.

Funny but worthless for me.

I do enjoy the fun I read in the replies :D

Lokkii, you sound bitter. ; ;

Oh and happy 1,000th post! ^^v

Why is it that I think the OP has been having feelings for this she-male and is trying to find a way to make himself not feel dirty lol.

The internet isn't exactly a horrible place to meet people, you just have to be smart about it lol.
