How cruel of you hurting online nerd guys who have never talked to real girls in their life.

Yeah T_T..

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

I admit I have a habit of giving 'friends' online nicknames, and some people mistake those as terms of affection, but they aren't.

you know, now that I think about it, I'm surprised I've never heard that before. Pretty much everyone I knew gave me a nickname at some point. Feba, as a name, seems to be well suited towards it.

And usually it was brought on by nothing more than me trying to be nice.

This is why I'm an asshole.

And, I mean, the fact that I'm bitter about life and I hate all of you. But that's like a distant second.

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

I've had multiple friends online that thought they were in love with me. I'm not saying that as some kind of show off, because the truth is, they weren't actually in love. They were, how to say it right.. "quickly affected" perhaps, because I made a few nice comments or so.

I've had this happen, too. And I always feel so bad about it, because I really do dislike hurting people, or feeling like I somehow gave them the wrong impression. That's why, more oft than not, I make it a point to mention that I have a boyfriend to any guys I meet in a MMO. That way maybe they won't take anything nice I say as a hint that I might be into them. I admit I have a habit of giving 'friends' online nicknames, and some people mistake those as terms of affection, but they aren't. Luckily, most guys I've nicknamed didn't take it the wrong way and assume I was into them. Like Thorf. I've called him Thorfie since nearly day one. It caught on to the point that he made a taru mule and named it Thorfie. Sev's always been 'Boss'. I don't even call my LotRO kin leader 'Boss', simply because Boss is Sev's name. Always will be.

But I've had a couple of guys really like me (or at least thought they did), and get really hurt that I didn't feel the same, and I don't like seeing people hurt. Most of them got over it when I told them I didn't feel the same. I think one or two still have a thing for me, though, and it gets a bit -_-;.

And usually it was brought on by nothing more than me trying to be nice. I generally am a rather 'sweet' person, unless I'm provoked or over-tired, in which case I become rather short and unpleasant to be around. I've just never seen any reason to be mean without just cause. But then that comes back to bite me in the ass sometimes, too, like when I got a random /tell from one of said guys who liked me.

'I know you and Val are together, but ... do you like me even a little bit, in that way?'

...I mean, the answer was clearly no, and I told him that, but I felt so bad for him the entire day. It made me sad.

It's far from pathetic though.

Yes, it is. As someone who has been there, quite honestly, it is.

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

I can just imagine a conversation in FFXI going something like this..

[Mithra walks up to the Auction House window. An Elvaan male sees her and walks over.]

"Hey kitty cat, are you a real lady under that character?"

[The Mithra's tail twitches, turning around to face the Elvaan.]

"For the right amount of gil, I can be whatever you want me to be."

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

My main is a guy, but sometimes I play on my sis's char, which is a girl. More then once I've been hit on, but when they ask me if I am a girl in rl, my reply is:

"What do you want me to be?"

They usually stop talking to me after that.

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

My mother thinks the sun rises and sets on my husband's a**. >< All because I "trained" him to do the dishes and sometimes the laundry. (And yes, you can ask him and he'll admit to being trained!) In her day, that was NEVER done by a man so she thinks he's the best thing since buttered bread. /sigh I think she likes him more than me! LOL

I received an anticipated "I told you so" comment from my mother when I divorced my husband.. Yes, those really do sting even when you know it is coming.

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

It would have been wonderful to share household duties with my husband, but I found that he was so terrible with even trying to wipe off a mirror that I ended up just doing it all myself. Handing him the baby and going into "wife mode" seemed to be more efficient.

He was better at leading raids than me, though. I tried to do everything very diplomatically, always keep a happy tone and they listen...wrong. There were times I could have swore a drill sergeant came into the room, and everyone quickly went silent and did as they were told. It makes me miss gaming with someone now, hah.

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

I don't mind doing most of the typical household duties, as long as I don't get into put into a pattern of some sort or am expected to do them. I do them cause I'd want to do them.
However, I prefer the typical modern way of a relationship. It's all shared duties. In fact, in most young relationships there barely are any duties..
Much more interesting things to do.

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

This reminds me of a discussion I had once with a group of friends at a pub. I was sitting there with my friend Anne and there were several other male friends sitting on the other side of the table. For whatever reason we began talking about what were previously viewed as male and female roles in a household. What came out of this was that women belong in the kitchen and that stilettos and a miniskirt are appropriate attire when cooking.

I know that I personally stand by these guidelines, because every other sane woman I know does!

Re: [GM]Dave's feelings on Manthras

Yep thats pretty much what it was like. /sigh I broke the mould in my family of 4 girls. As you can imagine, I wasn't too popular with my mother. LOL
