i never read the whole argument in amanda's initialt hread asking for help, beyond responding intially and talking on pms and ingame to her to her. I would like to say right now though i didnt help cause she's female!!!
but I agree with what she's saying, men in general, at least in workplaces i have been in, and seemingly where amanda has experienced are always respectful, work theres boundaries, and its not related to looks, its related to people understanding these boundaries and sticking to them, and also about how you, as a woman conduct yourself in that environment. And no offense joojoo but the prison service is hardly a prime example of that. and Maybe the US and the UK differ in this regard, but i can say with certainty that for the msot part when it comes to work situations, boundaries are kept. outside work, with friends, studying whatever, totally different, and this game is very different often.
But just some exaples of why gender often doesnt play a big part in this game or why people help to begin with. In world 4 i was a hermit, and a russian guy helped me settle close to his town, and by help, i mean he bought me food, he put materials in for a house for me a kiln, an oven and would tell me to build to get the lp gains. then helped me with armour, and killing animals, and other stuff. he always assumed i was male. it didnt stop him from helping me though. and a lot of people helped me in that time, who had no clue what my gender was, including women, like Miss emily<3
world 5, similar thing, when ainran came to help me after being attacked by AD it wasnt related to my gender, it was related to friendships they had with people i knew and people who were in my town.
When i got completely wiped early in world 5, i made a thread abt it and had a ton of people coming to help, pretty sure most knew nothing about my gender at the time, because the pms were ovewhelming and i even recruited some of my best villagers at that point becuse they wanted to help build the town back up. And maybe thats more to do with how we come across rather than simply the female card.
That isnt to say that some guys will choose to help more because they know ure female, it happens, and its fine, i dont really care if the reasoning behind it is gender or not, but i'm pretty damn sure that its not the only reason. online life isnt real life.

Did Joojoo just call us nerd and outcasts? What a nerd.
He can't make that judgement about us all due to his own potentially depressing life, anyways on topic no your not fat.

Maybe Amanda is lesbian, so no-one crosses that "friendship" line.joojoo1975 wrote:you work in a predominantly male enviroment? and you have friends there who are male and they never cross the "friendship" line.
Amanda please don't take this wrong.

Re: For Joojoo
there are different ways in which a 'friendship' line is crossed. good ways and bad ways, and in most work environments the line isnt crossed in general except in social conditions, at least when that work environment is a good one.Shruikan wrote:Maybe Amanda is lesbian, so no-one crosses that "friendship" line.joojoo1975 wrote:you work in a predominantly male enviroment? and you have friends there who are male and they never cross the "friendship" line.

I should treat Amanda just like other people, nothing wrong with her, if you want her attention ask for her adres and send her some flowers.
