The Female Gamer - Are you guys not over this yet?

There is a difference, because they guys hitting on girls in games do it differently. Sure, there might be guys who also don't get when they meet a girl on the street, but in games all the normal shy guys do stuff they normally don'T do and so their flirt technique is more of a harass than anything else.

First time I played a female character was in City of Heroes (or actually Villains as it was a villain). I always put bios on my characters and some random guy told me he loved the one I made for a character. I said thanks. He asked if he could make a character that would be my character's sibling and would I mind. I said go for it seeing how I thought odds of running into him again was slim and none. But because of that, I thought cool idea making characters siblings so made my character have his younger brother join the heroes. When Villains hit, I figured they needed a sister.

And low and behold, the "sister" got hit on. Most understood to stop when I said they were so going down the wrong path. However, while with the VG running our STF saturdays (do nothing but TFs all day), a guy wanted me to spend time with him. I said first "busy" but he wouldn't stop. So told him "Do you have any clue who I might be?" Again, the stupid with him was strong so I played on it. I finally told him to meet me Grandville where I'd be after the TF was over. He was in his mid 20's. Told him to go to the other side of GV. Hours went by as we did 2 TFs and he was still sending whispers even though I stopped answering. When we got done, I told my VG to watch for Broadcast to have an "accidental" mistell. So went to where he waited for hours.

He said: I died like 20 times waiting on you. And had to keep coming back.
I said: Sorry about that.
He said: I can always wait for a lady.
I said ("accidental" mistell into Broadcast): Since you want it so bad, (the guy's character name), I need to tell you I get paid 1 million creds to hot chat.

My VG group started making fun of him in broadcast until he logged out.

After about 6 months I had a moment of inspiration about how I could get rid of these people and not violate the character background I had created: "Sir, while I am flattered by your compliments, I feel that it is only fair to tell you that I'm not particularly interested in romantic overtures from someone who possesses ...uhm... equipment such as yours."

Yes, some of them thought I was referring to the items in their inventory.

That's also why I made all my Entertainer characters male.

That's generally when you see a bunch of female avatars flock you and begin doing the same thing

And you created a thread why? Not too be rude but this draws even more attention to you. If your goal is to simply get beyond this issue, then why create a thread about it and bring all the attention back to you?

I guess SW geeks are better than Star Trek ones. A guy on STO's forums a while ago posted his screen shots of his character just standing next to various females. Some other players and some NPCs. He titled his thread something like "Did my Captain make out with your Captain?"

I replied in the thread that the OP was an idiot. And everyone jumped on my case. Apparently they all agreed that was "making out".

At least the Star Wars goobers speak to people. Star Trek they just stand there and say nothing thinking that's making out.

This is one of the major reasons why i have a strict policy of not guilding people under the age of 21. Our guild leader might disagree with me but I am one of the person's responsible for inviting new toons. Here's a list of pre-req's and tests I run people through to make sure they're what we're looking for. I understand the person in question was a pug but none-the less i'm talking about straight up guild guidelines for my own personal use.

1 my guild uses vent they must have vent and USE it and have a mic, this prevents little tweens from lying about their age as 9 times out of 10 you can't fake maturity or the tone of your voice.

2 We only guild people over the age of 21 ( either actual age or maturity level) this also prevents any lawsuits that may happen if one of the kiddos decides to use his age as a shield after he says some rude things trying to "be cool".
