    I don’t play these games, but my kids do. And I am thinking (as a man), why wouldn’t I want my character to be a hot girl. If I an going to spend hundreds of hours staring at an ass, I would rather it be a hot girl ass.

        Right, because when Tomb Raider first came out on PS1 almost 30 years ago you could totally make out Lara’s hot ass from the seven or eight polygons that formed her entire body.

      If your main goal is just to create a character that looks as lewd as possible, that’s a little sus in my books. Preferences and all that, I know, but do we really need to add to the already prevalent objectification of women?

    Do people really hook up in games 🤨? I mean… you have tons of other apps for that, why use game chats.

      People hook up everywhere, plus if you meet through a game you already have a common interest and a lot of stuff to chitchat about Win/win

        But it’s only a booty call, a hookup, and he/she is upfront about it, why does it matter if we have common interests or not.

          Republicans don’t get orgasm assistance from me.

          I invest a little extra effort to make sure I’m not misallocating my sex.

        I would say the exact opposite, they’re great for hookups.

        Maybe it’s the thing about some people being shy IRL (which I’m not), so making conversation is difficult for them.

        I met my fiancée at a training thing for work. Everyone canceled except her her, me, and the teacher, so we had a lot of time to talk lol. We are getting married in a year and a half.

        And games are made to keep you playing, not find partners.

        Regardless, this was just a booty call, my experience is that they’re great for that.

      I personally connect with people easier through games. For me, it removes the feeling that I have to entertain someone through some branching conversation. There’s less pressure knowing we’re focusing on the same task or goal and conversations feel more natural based on what we’re doing or observing. It’s also helpful to see how people approach obstacles and how they handle/display their emotions.

        Yeah, but none of that matters for a booty call, and it was just that on the pic, nothing more. She/he wanted a sex partner and asked the first person that was online in the game/app she/he was currently on.

      I haven’t played online games in literally decades, but in the 90s, when I used to play MUDs, people used them to hook up (or just do the cybersex thing) all the time. I’m guessing the only big difference now is voice and video are in the mix.
