I haven't found anybody in this game.

I believe people keep their relationships secret, because bad things can happen if you link any bit of personal information to the internets. Different game, a dev posted just their real name, and within a few hours his home address, email accounts, and phone numbers were found and spammed.

You also have a 5% female-to-male ratio in this game, as opposed to 30-40% in other MMO games. As a result of extreme spam and unwanted attention, the women tend to value their privacy immensely.

So, bottom line, I doubt anyone will post anything you can actually use.

But, good luck!

Its all genuine my friends. I am indeed the proud owner of 2 X chromosomes. I am a certified membetrof the Women Gamers of Eve channel & The CFCNPA jabber channel. & I still want your stories!

So................you and your boyfriend had met PRIOR to playing EVE together.

Had you found EVE yourself, and seen the player behaviors and local chat and forum posts, would you even have bothered looking for someone here ?

Who are you referring to? If its me? I believe I mentioned an ex bf lol. I've never played Eve in order to snag another one-Never entered my head as it happens-but we're all humans here doing human things-& getting an insight to how people interact? Can't see what's wrong with that.

You just did a spectacular job of not answering my question...at all.

I wish I had found Eve a lot sooner, but there you go. Answering your question? You seem to be implying that I'm here looking for a relationship? I mean huh? What? I'm looking to write an article my friend. I'm very well aware how people can be on the forums-I see nothing wrong however in looking into aspects of the game other people don't look at.

No. No. No.

Read my question.

I am asking, if you had found EVE on your own, and experienced the chat, forums, and behaviors, especially in Fleet Comms and stuff, would you have bothered to look for a partner here yourself ? Which you are indeed asking for stories about from other.

I don't know how to phrase it any simpler.

get laid much?

get laid much?

I very much doubt anyone plays this game in order to find a partner-but yet...it still happens...& hearing the stories is a different slant on things.

You still have not answered tha question as to if you would have bothered even looking here if you found the game on your own.

I give up.

You are not real, and are Trolling. And are appearing not too intelligent either tbh.

End of that discussion.

You basically outed yourself as such.

Good bye.

personally, i don't play online games to meet guys. in fact, i do my best to try and keep things as level and straightforward as possible. there have been awkward situations in the past and i'd rather experience as little of that as possible ever again.

i might sit and talk in voice here and there if a convo is fun or has bearing on what's going on in the groups i mingle with. i might even share a pic or two with people i feel comfortable having those details about me. but i really try and steer clear of romantic advances.

i play games to relieve stress and have fun. i'd much rather not have an activity i enjoy turn into an avenue for uncomfortable weirdness. nor do i feel like i should have to hide who i am in order to enjoy my playing time. i realize that sometimes it is a lot to expect maturity and respect from my fellow gamers but with a little discretion (and a bit of a thicker skin) I find much of the unpleasant experience can be avoided lol

Well, it wasn't a 'relationship' certainly, but when things got bad for me in RL my former Alliance Leader whom I had voice comms with for around 2 years, flew me across the country to stay for 6 months while things were gotten back in order for me.

That can happen.

No. No. No.

I started to play Eve in order to relieve the soul-crushing loneliness when my fiance left me at the altar.
It was when my second fiance left me at the altar I started making this kind of gloomy posts.

Love finds itself in unexpected places, it is not something you seek out, but something that comes to you naturally.

Truest and deepest quote to ever come out of RvB:
"Great love is a lot like a good memory, when it's there, and you know it's there, but it's just out of your reach, it can be all you can think about. And you can focus on it and try to force it, but the more you do the more you seem to push it away.... But if you're patient and you hold still.... well maybe.....just maybe....It'll come to you"
-Leonard Church

I'll leave it at that.

hehe

Why buy the farm when you can get the milk for free?

Honestly, I prefer Caboose's philosophy on love:

Why would you come to a cold and harsh place, then?
