You can see the guys drinking and standing around the outside of the dance floor, usually see 1 bloke sitting alone at the bar, and the girls dancing in groups on the dancefloor( they would have their handbags in front of them on the floor if they could). I also get a laugh when some poor shy guy is trying to talk his way out of a pole dancers advances. <br> Wonder what voice ability will do when it comes soon....I thing it will change SL forever... try it in beta..Its an amazing experience and works extremely well.

I keep my distance in SL so I get a better view of the av’s around me, not because I’m threatened by their physical presence – they have none!

Eye contact in SL is NOT eye contact – it’s mouse movement. So beyond that moment you click on an av’ to check their profile it really means nothing – u could appear to be staring at your friends boobs when you’re actually checking your email!

SL is definitely a fascinating social playground but how about some proper research?
