    Is being a human really that challenging? Honestly? Oh QQ I don't fit in, oh QQ I don't know how to talk, you don't learn by not doing. You do it to yourself, you've no one to blame but you. The better part, is nerd guys are actually good anymore. You don't have to hide your magic cards in the closet, you don't have to lurk like a pornoholic on an MMO, and you don't have to hide your complete Tolkien collection or Warhammer novels. Find common ground that goes further than just hobbies though, as hobbies are not life. If you think otherwise, it's your own downfall. The world isn't some big scary monster, it's whatever the hell you want it to be. If you're fine being a pathetic lowlife and buying company, whatever. Have fun dying alone. If you feel like getting more out of your life, then do it. The only thing stopping you is yourself and your fear.

    I sure as hell don't lack any emotions. Frankly if you are able to make a psychological profile based on 2 sentences then your obvously somekind of "wonderkind". But since you are posting on a forum on a website discussing games, I rather doubt that.

    My statement says what it says, but maybe I need to explain it a little further for you, since you didn't come over as smart as you intended with your remark.

    Gaming is more or less an individual experience physical wise, unless you are doing somekind of lan-setup, you only interact with people remotely. So its logical that you don't have physical contact. 

    Whats left? Remote contact. And it seems that even some people are having it difficult in this regard.

    No online friends, no guilds, etc, or at least these don't seem to cut it as interactions.

    Now this service comes in and tries to fill that gap, by hooking up these people with pixeled companionship.  

    So now they don't need to be able to make social contact via ingame channels anymore. The problem just got worse.

    It doesn't matter if you are shy, ugly, what ever you wanna insert here that gives you a reason not to find it easy to meet people, by locking yourself up in your basement playing games will not make it any easier, au contraire my friend, it will make it harder.  

    Gaming is not a way of life, it is something done to relax, have fun ... but its not something you should build your life around. And this service does exactly that, stay in your chair, don't go out and meet people, we will bring pixeled ladies to you ... how pathetic do you wanna get.

    Slap yourself in the face, find something your good at, interested in, and try to find people in the real world with the same interests and hook up. Easy .... maybe not, but you will get better at it and at the end of the day you didn't pay for companionship ... and we all know what thats a euphenism for.

     

    Still lacking insight?

    Jack Thompson, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the "games are evil" people will have a field day with this. Just wait.

  • This also says something about how people treat each other in guilds and crews and I don't know what. If we would treat each other with respect and focus on having fun and casual feeling, then this wouldn't happen. The fact that this has come up is precisely because of parts of the game community are fucked up. Think about it guys, improve the world, start with yourself ;).

    What, we should start cybering with the basement dwellers so they won't waste their money on chatroom "gamer ho's"?

    Explain how the game community and guilds and whatnot are responsible for geeks buying women for money?

     ahhhhhhhhh, ok...I guess?

     

       I would do a pay for play for high level game info and tips. I wouldn't care if it were a 79 year old male tho...I'd just want to hear something from someone who was very very knowledgeable.

     A pretty girl would raise my offering price by 0 cents...unless she happened to be that uber player which would tempt me to pay the 60cent/min base cost.

    I wonder how they are going to manage the proof of age thing. I see lawsuits in the future if that is not locked down. I mean the only really proof would violate a bunch of privacy laws unless they have some nearly impossible back end security/safety.

     

    Also, I wonder how the payments are rendered. I am sure the 'player' doesn't drop a credit card into he girls paypal account. It has to go to the mother company somewhere and they have to pay the 'Play Dates'.

     

    All in all I think this is a stupid idea. Normally I assume non-MMO articles are just 'filler' but this one seems more like a potential source of advertising revenue for MMORPG.com.

    Yes, the customer will pay the company, which will then pay the girl a share.

    In the real world, we call this payment setup "pimping".

    I could not have said it better myself.

    Seriously guys, if you want a woman here's what you gotta do:

    1. Take care of your health, hit the gyms slackers!

    2. Drink a few beers (not too much)

    3. Go to a bar and talk to women. (talking to women mostly involves listening to them for hours while you nod and reply with: yes? Go on! Interesting)

    4. Don't be a douche
