I found this article, and yet again people confused by the concept of second life, and believing it to be the perfect dating tool, write scathing articles about how bad and unsafe SL is.

It gets me that they can’t cope with the fact its a game, its a very different game I grant you, immersive, and yes some people achieve a perfectly resonable real life relationship from it, but for the most part its a virtual world where we can live the life we can only dream of for one reason or another in real life.
Could I exist as a wolf in real life? well no not really, so how could I ever get away with all the comments like “I could, so eat you up today” in the real world? or change my looks at the drop of a hat (well, mouse button), I often wish my wardrobe was as easy as it is in SL.
I’ve existed in Second Life for over two years, I am married and have children, three of which, that keep my real life busy and full of fun.
But there are times in an evening where you wish to relax, I log on to SL and PLAY THE GAME!! its a game you know, its not social networking, go to facebook etc for that. People trying to achieve real love in a virtual world created from peoples imagination are very likely to fail, most of us choose to keep real life where it belongs as real life and never discuss it except with people we’ve met and chosen as friends in the game.
I adore SL because I have a creative mind, that does not find time or money to be realised in the real world, but in SL I create anything I want, boats, houses, scultpures etc .
If people play the game as a game they will get enjoyment from it, don’t make it your real world, for its just make-believe!
