Edit: There was a small but nice screengrab from SLFlirt.com here, but Mike Manhattan kindly requested me to take it down. More information on this in SLFLirt’s Mike Manhattan doesn’t want to date me anymore!

Aha. Finally, even the most shy Avies amongst us, can find themselves a date. No need to step up to a avatar to ask him/ her if he/she wants to TP somewhere with you and face the chance at rejection. Oh no, you can just find that perfect meta-soulmate on SLFlirt.com.

Although I still need to go on my date with JJ, I was curious nonetheless. So I registered, got the confirmation mail, clicked it and then I was ready to fill out my profile. There the problems started to arrise.

I am a:
Woman! That was still easy.

Seeking a:
Ow. I don’t know if I want a man or a woman. Actually I want a Neko. Ok, preferably a male Neko. But still, I want a Neko. But Neko’s not in the list. :(

Age:
Ok. I think that I’m 5 now. Months, that is. But the most recent date I can pick is 1989. Strange. I would have sworn that the grid did not exist yet at that point in time. Ow, this is so confusing!!!

Country:
Do they mean SIM with that? Devil’s Landing is so not in the list. Must email them to add it!

Body type:
I think I’m average to slender. I did my best not to overdo it on the sliders.

Height:
Vewwy, vewwy tall!

Eyes:
Hmmm. Strangely enough ‘Reflecting’ is not an option there.

Hair:
I don’t get all the color options. My hair says ‘prim ebony’. And my other hairs says ‘ponytails pink prim’. Oh well, it changes with the day anyhow.

Smoking & Drinking:
Socially I think. Only when I’m at the Pardise Lost. Or have something to celebrate.

Living situation:
Friends do visit often. Even when I’m not home. But? What for the homeless Avies? There is no such option that says ’strayhound’ or ‘wherever I feel like rezzing’ or ‘infohub’. But maybe this should say if you own land. Or rent. Or live with both feet steady on the grid, or in a nice skybox like me. Maybe it’s me, but I don’t know a lot of Avies that are living with their parents. Or that have kids.

Social setting:
I assume I’m a flirt. No? I’m a good girl?! Thank you!!! :d

TV watching:
Just not that interesting in SL. Sometimes I watch a video projection, but that’s about it.

Education:
Well, I was going to go to that scripting class, but something else came up. I do not have ‘High school’, ‘college’ or ‘university’ in my inventory. I must use search one of these days and find out what those are!

Employment status and occupation:
I’m a dancer and SL-photographer. So I think that’s self-employed, although if I dance at the club, Helena’s my boss. And that would label me into ‘entertainment/media’. No?

Income:
That’s strange. Is there a currency I don’t know about?! Or is that a typing mistake? They left the ‘L’ out of L$. Let’s say about 1500L$ a week. Multiply that with 56. *chooses 75,000 to 99,000$ from the dropdown menu*

Interests:
I like dancing. And photography. But why can’t I choose another hobby of mine: ‘explore’. And where is ‘playing sploders’. Ow, and building is fun too, but nowhere to be seen in the list. And where can I check ‘hanging around in mature sims’? And ’shopping’? And ‘roleplaying’?

And now let’s see what I want to know about the avie of my dreams. Is he human, neko, furry, a dragon, a gorean slavetrader, … ? Does he like to hang out in mature or PG sims? Does he pay for escort services? What are his ‘appearance’, ‘building’ and ‘behaviour’ ratings? Does he has a partner on file? Is he willing to put me as a partner on file. What are his online times? Does he have a job as ’securtiy’, is he a scripter (that would be neat!), or is he just more a ‘camping’ person? Does he have his payment info on file? What’s his favorite SIM? Does he have a decent graphics card? Download limits? Is he using the normal client or first look? Does he speak Typonese fluently like I do? What are his goals in SecondLife? Having fun or gaining quick wealth? Does he have alts?

Why aren’t all those questions answered?! If you promote something as ‘a dating service for second life residents’, you must take into account that we are not exactly the same as our human counterparts. We look different (and change appearance often). We can be female or male, whatever we feel like. We dream in wireframe. Our interests are different. If not, just call it ‘yet another dating service for IRL peepz, targetting people that play SecondLife, just because I’ve read somewhere that that’s the next hype and I can make money from it.’

Some other slick features I’ve become rather tired of by now: ‘rate my picture’, guestbook, blog, pictures and videos. Videos? That should be ‘machinima’, no?

Please take the ‘SL’ out of your domain name. Don’t see why it should be there!
