"i need a gf"

The title of the event Banana J joined was called "i need a gf." It was very desperate sounding event, yet it brought in a pretty large crowd. Everyone was chatting here and there and I was not quite sure if the creator of the event was quite serious. Other people were saying they needed a partner, but if it was a jab at a real life partner or just a YoVille partner, I had no idea. Just like Banana J, he just stood there observing others. Women here and a few men there. They all seemed to desperate to put themselves out there. He got a few "hey's" and a few "hi's" here and there, but no one seemed to want to engage because he did not respond back after replying his own greeting. It was not the type of place for him to go, so he left. Partner looking events are just not his cup of tea.

Events like this, online, are either comical or sad, in my opinion. Those are the two ways I see it. People tend to poke fun at how they can use their avatars just like real life situations. Others tend to use them as a mask and seek out people through these virtual worlds because they seem to not socialize in reality. People are so different and we all think differently. So, it's hard to tell what is going on exactly. But when people really do try to create a real life relationship ... it's quite awkward in my eyes. But if it works for them then ... bravo.
