Hitting on Chicks in Randoms

[Huffalicious]

I see it all the time. It's pretty funny. It kind of goes like this:

Arthasdksixtynine: noob pally. he didn't even heal me
Cuteprincessfluffy: she*
Arthasdksixtynine: oh, my bad. you gave it your best effort!
Arthasdksixtynine: and you've been doing so good so far
Arthasdksixtynine: and i think you and i should become b.net friends so we can cross realm dungeon all the time
Arthasdksixtynine: maybe i'll server xfer and we can hang out in darnassus away from everyone
Arthasdksixtynine: and do hallow's end together n' stuff

Ok, not that dramatic. But still. Something along those lines. I see stuff like it alllllllll the time. Just let the chicas play the damn game, eh?

Anyone else see this sort of thing happen frequently?

[noteworthynerd]

It probably boils down to the fact that they have Internet anonymity... I doubt that they'd be acting like that in the real world. ;-)

I think they were being a little sarcastic bro.

Nah, I doubt it, I've seen plenty of guys completely change their attitudes when they find out there is a girl in the group (or when they find out someone they perceived was a girl is actually a guy).

[blutkind]

if you're female, don't bring it up/tell anyone. why does it matter? just play the game, kill shit, and leave the random. problem solved.

One time I was on my MALE troll hunter in a Gundrak HC, some dude must've assumed I was a girl from something gay I must have said and he was flirting with me the whole way through...Was weird.

She wanted the attention. If she didn't she wouldn't have correct you with the "*she".

Try alcohol in real life and you will see what happens .
But yeah 98% of this ppl just use anonymity when flirting with girls in randoms. I have seen some guys giving telephone numbers to girls.

I see it all the time. Example

Tank: Dude that mage is wooping you in dps. She's even got less gear than you!
Me: He
Tank: Oh I'm sorry he ; )))
Me: Its ok
Tank: You're doing good mage, I bet your girlfriend must be very satisfied
Me: I don't have a girlfriend
Tank: O really? ; ))) Whats a stud like you doing single?
Me: I uh don't know, can we keep going?
Tank: Whatever you say handsome ; ))) /kiss

Its so aggravating.

Have we met? I haven't tanked any randoms in a while, but... =P

Why not flirt online I flirt with girls all the time IRL how are they any different ? Nothing wrong with flirting and actually as far as my experience goes woman who play wow love being the center of attention as long as someone is not being a perv and taking it to far .

[Televators]

No reason for her to point out that's she's indeed a she other than asking for attention.

[Deleted]

In 6 years I have NEVER seen this

[superficial]

so you want the attention, and then complain about getting the attention.

hmmm

[Deleted]

Probably wasn't even female. Flirting with a guy. Ewww!

[Arkie]

Agreed. I've never understood how some people can get so worked up with the thought of a female in control of a toon. I don't know if it's preteen or young teenage boys that can't control themselves or their hormones and think every female would want them or that the person in control of the toon is in the running for playboys playmate of the year.

On a side note, I was once in an alliance guild where the guy who played a rogue left his wife to move in with a female who played a dk. She was one of those female players I detest that try to use their sex appeal to get a raid spot when she really was a terrible player.

Disclaimer: I in no way mean the above against the female players who are good players and deserve their spots on the "A" team.

The only people that "hit" on "chicks" ingame are;
1) Between the ages of 10-15
2) Are really, really sad basement dwellers (Usually 20+)
3) General creepers (minecraft reference hurr de durr)

[Lovestar]

I'm always amused when people aggressively correct "he" to "she" and similar pronouns in online games. Does it really matter that much??

I know I'm a bit biased given my life experiences, but it just seems so frivolous and silly.

[Huffalicious]

Well, I certainly wouldn't want someone confusing me with a female when I am indeed a man.

[Lana]

She wanted the attention. If she didn't she wouldn't have correct you with the "*she".

meh, sometimes i correct the pronoun, but only by habit, and i immediately feel rather silly for doing so.

normally, i just go about my own bidness like everyone else, but i do see girls who pop up in randoms and immediately inform everyone of. in my experience though, most guys are just neckbeards looking to get the random over with, and don't care to hit on anyone who tries to play the slutty wow chick card.

[Pancaspe]

She wanted the attention. If she didn't she wouldn't have correct you with the "*she".

Or she was a he messing with an idiot in Random

I've actually had it happen. It really is not a big deal. Like, at all. I think there are just some people with a point to prove.
