Write me a romance novel.

We have been venturing out and going to some new clubs in SL this week. I have noticed a disturbing trend in emoting. If you tip a dancer or host you will get a "thank you" that rivals War and Peace! One guy filled up the whole chat screen with his thank you including how he was going to dance up next to me and throw me on the floor and ravage me. I was wondering where you get "ravage" pose balls in world. Don't get me wrong, I certainly understand the value of a good, well written thank you note, but this goes a bit to the extreme. It also brings up another issue.


Most of the men that I know can not speak or write anything descriptive about their actions or feelings if forced to with a gun at their head. Writing something like: Tom Evans looks at CJ and locks eyes with her from across the dance floor. Slowly he moves toward her undulating his body in time with the music. He focuses on her cleavage as it heaves while she dances to the throbbing beat of the music. As he gets closer his nostrils fill with the intoxicating scent of her perfume. He also notices the shine of her hair under the glow of the neon green lights. As he dances up beside her she smiles and licks her lips seductively. He whispers in her ear, "Thank you so much for the tip."

These kinds of "thank you" statements just go over the top to me. Are there guys out there working at clubs who scour Google books for cheap Harlequin novels to quote? Do they spend their down time reading up on how to describe her bosom heaving? Do they secretly read Nora Roberts on their lunch breaks? You see where I'm going with this line of thought? Most people who are intimately familiar with this genre of literature are not men at all. I am certainly fine with understanding that people in SL are who they want to present themselves as, but do the club owners not see that this is a bit creepy? Anyway, this is a trend that I'm sure will go the way of bling and loud shoes. Until then, just make sure your quoting some good romance authors and not just the cheap stuff!

As an update, real quote: [19:27] Don Dade slaps Stephani sexy ass firmly and then seductively smiles to her... he lifts his strong and muscular arms up in the air and he sensualy sways all of his body right in front of her eyes... he feels her hands all over him... touching him... feeling him... he works each one of his well trained muscles as her hands explore him... he feels his cock geting even more harder with her hands touching him... he caresses all of her body... checking how warm she is... she is very very warm... he caresses her beautiful face and he kisses her mouth deeply... tasting her nice and slowly "Stephani, thanks babe" ;)
