This is not really different from second life in other word pure fantasy.

| Five years ago, I probably would have loved this. But now, I see it as a little more than just another video game. You interact with people, even in a risque/sexualized way, but the truth is, you're still sitting at your computer. Basically, you get a really watered-down form of interaction. You exchange words back and forth, but you don't get the benefit of actually enjoying that person's company. (Yes, it's an NT way of looking at things, but that's how I feel.) So in the end, it's just a fantasy entertainment system, and it's important to keep it in perspective as that. |

Yeah, I am sure that most of the female avatars don't accurately portray whos sitting behind the computer (i.e, they're men pretending to be women)....that kinda kills it for me but to each their own....... |

I prefer second life, I am not on it for finding a partner, since I have that, but sl
is a great way for an aspie to learn some socializing skills and making friends
