G.I.R.L. (Guy(s) In Real Life)

:smoke: OK, now I know this may possibly piss off a few people but I feel this question needs to be asked.

Why do guys pretend to be girls on the internet?

I am starting to see this a lot on forums, especially this one, and I know guys do this on those online games and in chat rooms, but one would think they had too much testosterone to do it.

I'm sure there is the explanation "I am secure with my sexuality, and so I could care less what people on the internet think," going around, but I think that statement is contradictory.

Hey if you wanna have a female avatar or play as a female character in a game, that's fine, but it should stop there IMO. I don't know why this bothers me so much but it does. It's weird?

I have so much more to add but I wanna here other peoples opinion on the subject. Please tell me I'm crazy. :crazy:

especially this one

I don't think we've had any here in a while tbh. There was only really tel and that cherry person.

I dont get what the big deal is. I guess it must be a mentality thing.

 

[bashful crobat]

Pretending to be a girls on an MMO is great as long as you do it convincingly

do it right and you end up with 500 14 year old brazillians drooling over you and doing whatever you ask (I once had one dude buy an NPC item I bought for pittence for a hefty amount of money because I told him "I need to sell my extra stuff, I'm getting low on cash")

Its just an avatar, its not like they actually pretend to be girls. o:

 

[Ellie]

Hum... I don't think they are "pretending to be girls", hell I had billie joe armstrong as an avvy for a while.

It's more to it then just female avatars, add that with the way one posts and responds to certain topics. zchin131 can def pass as a G.I.R.L.

Again try not to take offense, I just really wanna know some stuff. It's my attempt at a creating a Topic Discussion.

 

[bacon]

I still dont get it and in my personally opinion, bantering and almost ridiculing another member doesn't create a good thread.

I think the answer here is, who cares.

It's just a thing people do to get their kicks. Just like the preteens that blast Lady Gaga through their headsets online.

It's not important. It really isn't. That's who they are online to you, simple as that. If you think they're girls, they're girls, if you think they're guys, they're guys, gender isn't really important nowadays. Nor is age or anything, really.

I Tottaly agree there! Who cares, as long as the user is a serious and good member and user. Then if its a girl or boy should't change the situation. No offence but this should be wasting time to discuss O_o

 

[Ellie]

I think the issue is not that people are acting as girls; it's that other people have preconceptions about what a girl must sound like on the Internet and when they see someone else posting, or not posting the same, they look at this idea of "girlposting" they have in their mind and use it to work out whether the person they are speaking to has a vagina or not.

 

[Ellie]

Or should I say,

i fink that its not people acting as girls ^_^ its that other people think girls should sound a certain way :girl: when they see someone else posting or not posting the same way, they look at girlposting :heart: and use that to work out whether the person they are speaking to has a vagina or not :kiss:

xx kisses

You guys are being too defensive here... :crazy: remember my inital post.

:smoke: OK, now I know this may possibly piss off a few people but I feel this question needs to be asked.

I wanted to know something so I asked. Maybe I should have left out my opinion and just asked the question but, what can you do :?:

i dont think once any of these two pretending to be girls...

 

[Ellie]

They're not being defensive, they just don't agree with you.

 

[zchin]

Ummm, I really don't care if anyone finds me feminine, but I'm a guy, I notice that apparently there are different treatments to a person with a certain gender (sexist) so I just go with whatever, girl requests here seem to be filled out more then guys, but maybe it's just me. I guess overall girls usually type differently, using faces and stuff, maybe I'm just not that masculine, and are not afraid to use faces such as:
:grin: :blank: :blush: uch: and ^.^ -.- and

So I don't really see how you could tell me apart from wishing I was a girl, or just not masculine enough to be seen as a toughy boy person, maybe it's because I don't usually use the "Gangster' terms, or whatever as "Dude"

Thank you and have a nice day!
