    A nice idea, JasmeVee, but as the song says, "I'm much cooler online."

    Cheryl, my friend, do not become addicted to online games. They will take hold of you, and you will resent their absence.

    Ever since I started playing World of Warcraft about 8 years ago, I exclusively play female characters. The epitome of role-playing! I pretty much only play RPGs, as they are for me, the most immersive, and have a ton of replayability. I'm still playing Fallout 4 as a female character, and when I played Fallout 3 and Skyrim - all female characters. Even back as far as Ultima Underworld, Circa 1992, I played a female character.

    It just feels better (and more fun!) to be a female character. Back in the days when I was in the arcades, I played the warrior woman on Golden Axe, and Chun Li on Street Fighter (although Cami was pretty cute in tight camouflage tees and short-shorts).

    One of the jokes that was going around IMVU for a while was,
    "In a lesbian-only room, how many of the people in there are actually males using female avatars?"
    "All of them."

    For me, playing around in SL was a pretty good substitute for indulging my repressed urges to cross dress and to be bisexual in real life. I could dress up my male or female characters, flirt, and even have 'relationships' with people whose avatars were of either gender, all with the clear understanding between myself and the others I played with that "This is strictly for fun, as roleplay between our characters - in real life, if we ever did meet, the most you would ever get from me is a hug". My wife was leery about the more 'adult' aspects of Second Life - until I invited her to ask any of the people that I played with about the strict guidelines I insisted on for adult interactions. Once she was assured that I would never take any of those on-line relationships into the real world, and that the people I played with didn't expect me to, she agreed that it was a better release than spending lots of money on porn, or at strip clubs or with call girls, or having outright illicit affairs on the side. I never did meet any of those other people face to face. And she could hardly complain about the very real money that I earned, which largely got spent on nice things for my family to enjoy!

    After my wife passed away, and when I started indulging in real-world CD/TG activities, my interest in doing it on-line largely subsided. Besides, by that time, most of the people I had been role playing with had gotten tired of SL and had moved on to other entertainments.

    Ok, went down the rabbit hole, and got on IMVU after reading this thread.

    ive played Second Life before, but IMVU seems to be just a fancied up chat. What am I missing?

    Ceara, that's pretty much how I felt about it. I'm chatting with people online, not meeting them face to face, I'm dressing up and looking fabulous (as opposed to looking like a husky guy in a dress irl). Even if the encounters do get a little (or a LOT) more intimate, there's no chance at all that I would actually ever meet any of these people at all. That hot girl from Canada isn't coming, and I seriously doubt that guy from Chile is coming, either. Being naughty online is easy - it would have to be someone amazing to get it to move to realtime. (Thst is of course assuming I was single and looking, which I am not.) And of course, no worries of STD's or anything like that - I have my keyboard covered in latex to avoid getting a computer virus! Lol!

    Maybe I can't dress up in the real world, but I know that I can set Kaylie free in the digital world.

    When you go online with a female I.D., you automatically attract attention from the males who are playing. Eventually someone will push you to send them a picture of some sort, then some hints of a real name and location, and then the problem starts to spiral out of control. The end result being a 'crying game' type scenario, either virtual or IRL. Neither winds up ending well.

    There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
    Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.

    I'm not a gamer anymore, grew out of it I guess, but I used to play many MMORPGs. I always played male characters in those games it was like I never even considered that I could play a female character. Same thing for Second Life when I first messed with it. Eventually it occurred to me I might really enjoy a female character in Second Life. A few years later I went back to that character and tried out the game again trying to really play the role of a girl named Lacey, but again not really getting into it.

    Eventually a guy approached me and we had an actual intelligent conversation then he offered to help me with my character. We spent the next couple hours shopping and by the time we were done and he had spent the equivalent of 10$ US dollars on me Lacey had transformed from a generic poorly formed female avatar to an incredibly realistic woman. It was a surreal experience to say the least. We went back to his house afterwards and he showed me all his stuff. I never saw him again.

    I didn't spent much more time on SL, it was fun and interesting sometimes but just not real.

    While that is possible it does not have to be that way. I have been playing a female avatar in SL on and off for 13 years. People have asked me where I am from, I just say "north of Seattle", I do not recall anyone ever asking for a RL picture.

    I've tried Second Life, but with my limited time dressing up for reals takes precedence.

    Usually I only go on in the late evenings, if at all. That's most of the time after the SO has gone to bed, but I haven't gotten tired enough yet.

    I looked into SL once but never got started. I have a lot of time and money invested into the Utherverse that I could not see myself, starting over there. I was a designer there as well, but with the Photobucket changes that put me out of business.
    My wife told me she didn't want me to become Liz from AHS Hotel.
    I Promised her that I have never and do not plan on killing anyone.
    I wonder why she wasn't comforted by that?

    (True Story btw)

    Yes, PhotoF**kit killed a lot of the designers with their policy changes about third party hosting. Now people are looking for other sites like ImageShack and imgur.

    I use imvu with both a male and female avatar. But I use the female more. I play a few Xbox games where I make a female character if possible. I also have Star Wars: the old republic where majority of my characters are female.

    I had a second life account years ago and obviously I was female

    In a lot of modern games you get to choose your sex (lucky things) and I always choose the female, the excuse of “its always a guy in games” serves as a good enough excuse but if there is a choice then there is no choice.
    I have noticed my non dressing friends usually take the female choice too.

    Recently, I started playing Skyrim Special Edition (I played the original Skyrim about a year or so ago) The improvements in graphics quality is amazing. I have heavily modded it with a female body replacer and armours for my female character, along with other immersive mods. I think I've fallen in love with my character LOL! Not sure if I'd want to have a woman like her in real life.....or to BE her!

    This was my experience. SL gets incredibly creepy and invasive. There was a time when I played DC Universe Online and it was great! I had a full female avatar and even joined a small guild online. I never once revealed my gender to any of my guild mates and but they thought of me as female (they always referred to me as she/her). It was one of the best experiences and one of the only times when’s I felt 100% accepted. I haven’t played in years, but this makes me want to jump back into it!

    Also, when playing other games online like Halo, Gears of War, or like a fighter like Street Fighter, I tend to chose to present myself as female. When people ask why? I usually say why not? Or claim that I like the challenge and want to disprove the gender stereotype.
