So you want an SL girlfriend?

Companionship. It's a basic, primal need for all of us... well, primates, here on this big blue ball we call earth. Luckily for us all, the greatest invention known to man is available to help us deal with that gnawing pain of loneliness, the internet. Ah yes, where better to develop your social skills then in the anonymous abyss found in the world wide web and SL is the creamy nougat center where all your fantasies can be fulfilled.
Sure we all want that special someone to connect to, even if for just one night, but there are some guidelines that should be adhered to, to make it a pleasant experience for all parties involved.

I will be expounding on these items in future posts but here are the basics:

1. Learn how to type in complete sentences.


2. Learn how to communicate.


3. Get a premium account.


4. Act your age.


5. Get proper skin, shape and hair.


6. Buy clothes and change your outfits.

This will be my launching pad for future post ideas and I'm sure I'll be adding to this list as I go along so check back regularly. Please remember, I'm writing this guide for men. I may decide to write a list of do's and don'ts for you ladies as well; "How to snag that perfect guy", "How slutty is TOO slutty?", "Dom or Sub? Which is the greater evil?"......

What the hell is he talkin' about?

While some of the things I'll be talking, posting, yakking about will have some real life applications, the majority of my posts are meant to be used in conjunction with Second Life situations. What's Second Life you say? Log on to secondlife.com and immerse yourself in a whole new online community. Meet people from every corner of the globe and be irritated by them. Be introduced to "adults" that want to act like house pets and dress accordingly. Meet vampires, dragon riders, bondage slaves and masters, they are ALL there!!

That may not seem like the best sales pitch for SL, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. What you can do, see, and experience in SL is literally limitless. Build your dream house, run a virtual business that makes real world money, design clothing, create art, and yes, even meet that special someone that you've been looking for your entire life. The possibilities are endless, but finding your way through can be a daunting task.

Luckily for you, you've found this blog, and I will be your guide to the best of the best that SL has to offer. The search feature in SL is in serious need of an overhaul so I'll be trying to create an archive of the places to go for shopping, building, and meeting great people, all from the male perspective, which seems to be an after thought in SL. Whether you are brand new to SL or an established veteran, my hope is that I can share at least one thing to make your Second Life a better one.
