Archive: 42 posts

wel, theres a myraid of uproars whirling through my head as to lbp dating. anyone want to tell me why people do that and whether or not you are against it? moreover it sometimes causes drama throughout the game and to me it may be a little pointless, maybe not. it does increase the fun i freely admit that, however you dont even know what they look like in person more so, how can you fall in love with a sack person? its all really confusing to me can anyone give some answers please?2011-09-28 18:38:00

There are 2 types of people in the "LBP Dating scene"

1. People who are desperate. Known as naive.

2. People who deceive people into thinking they are the same age. Known as predators.		2011-09-28 18:46:00

I'm personally against it. People just do it to be cool, or live their fantasies of having babies with a burlap sack.		2011-09-28 19:01:00

LBP Dating is sorta stupid. You nevah would see each other irl so unless you arrange some ACTUAL MEETING, live nearby and/or share where you live (for the stalkers ) it's pointless/not worth it

On the other hand, if they have met irl beforehand and spend time on LBP because they can't see each other anyother way, that'd probably be a different story. Probably. 		2011-09-28 23:19:00

Why would anyone want to go out for a meal, see a film, go dancing or any of that other mundane stuff that you do on dates when you could be surviving zombiesharkbombs, killing Justin Bieber, collecting 300+ prizes and maybe if they're that special someone you'll exchange hearts as a symbol of your love.2011-09-29 01:22:00

As if LBP were the first game to do this? Look at both sides of the argument before reaching a conclusion.

When you have thousands of people playing a game online at any given time, there's bound to be chemistry between some players. Some people do it for fun. Others do it because they have darker desires. Either way, it's two people treating each other a bit more than just friends. And who knows? That person they found might be the one they've been looking for all along...

Now do I encourage this? No. Do I condemn it? No. But I do believe that people should have the liberty to express themselves with the full logic that there could possibly be consequences. Besides, how can you start judging things when you haven't tried it yourself?		2011-09-29 06:43:00

...however you dont even know what they look like in person more so, how can you fall in love with a sack person?

Love is limited to physical appearance and nothing else plays a factor? Shallowest thing I've read in a while, TBH.

It's all just kids being kids, though. I still say, if you're around 15 or under, you don't know anything about relationships, and it's all just done for the sake of trying to look cool. Or just because the way our society makes relationships appear to be far more important/fun/easy-to-achieve than they actually are, and then we have a bunch of confused kids with opposite-gender friends who think there's something more to it.
What a load of rubbish.

My opinion seems to be more about kids and 'relationships' in general, than online/LBP relationships, specifically.		2011-09-29 11:28:00

probably cuz they don't know how to use e-harmony.

I tried e-harmony. Answered all the questions as honestly as I could and they couldn't find a single match for me. There are much better websites than e-harmony.		2011-09-29 17:02:00

I took my copy of LBP2 out for a few drinks. LBP2 didn't even say a word.... Not even a thank you for the nice time out.

So my experience has been LBP dating just doesn't work. 		2011-09-29 18:25:00

Yes it's sad when poeple who most likely never met tell eachother "I love you" just because they like their levels or have a good picture of themselves.

By the way I love you.		2011-10-03 07:00:00

Eh, let the kids have their pointless fun. As for "predators", I hope parents teach their children what precautions they should have in an online game as much as in the internet. Never revealing any personal details, avoiding people that keep asking for personal details, etc.2011-10-03 08:57:00

I know a guy and a girl who met online in LBP and they eventually moved in together. If two people find love through LBP then that's a beautiful thing IMO.

Don't diss it until you've tried it. 		2011-10-03 09:09:00

You obviously never heard of the World of Warcraft marriages. "I promise you to be a good husband, to raid Horde scum with you until the end of time, to let you use my +170 Boots of Sacred Frost", etc 		2011-10-03 21:54:00

The concept is stupid and creates spam levels which are poorly designed. They don't even know who a certain person is so it could be a 12 year old dating someone who is 27... This isn't the sort of game for this sort of thing... Ever heard of a dating site...?2011-10-04 17:00:00

Dating on online games, ugh, one of the things I extremely dislike. But sadly, it's almost everywhere.
FreeRealms, Wizard101, those kinds of games. It'll take more than 20 gamers to stop it.		2011-10-05 23:44:00

Absolutely pointless and stupid, its a video game. Just kids living out their fantasises of having intercourse with a pillow.2011-10-07 00:09:00

Yes, especially considering that the dodo is extinct.

The only apparent upside to "dating" in a game is that you're forced to judge by personality, not by looks, which isn't much of an upside at all.

Keep the love affairs IRL, it will save you getting a visit from "the ten year old that lives across the street". 		2011-10-07 12:32:00

I've heard of about 2 or maybe 3 cases of this over time myself. not that i really remember much about them.

far as my opinion. it depends on everything. while online dating may not be the best thing, and if you can help it, it most likely is better to try to avoid it altogether. but Love is a funny thing that is never the same, it's different with every person. normally love ends up or should end up being with someone you get along very well with and have a lot in common with. (it's easier to find someone you have a lot in common with online then offline sadly) also hopefully both are around close enough to the same age as one another. Love is or should be just a deeper form of a close friendship. so real life or online. it can work out fine both ways. it's all the same enough IMO. but my advice? online or offline, just avoid relationships all together, even more so if you don't already have someone interested in you. it's not worth the trouble. it's hard but I think it's better just to be happy with good friends with whoever. unless you meet someone who both of you really think you are made for 1 another. but my point is don't look for love. online or offline, if it finds you then it'll find you most likely. *mew		2011-10-07 13:31:00

I don't see the point in having a relationship with someone online. I can't do long distance real life relationships.. So dating someone I have never even met? No.2011-10-07 16:17:00

Online dating = pointless, I agree. I actually tried it when I was young. It's sad I know, but I was immature and didn't know any better

Anyways, going back to a previous post, there have been cases where people have met online and have even had kids. There was a particular case like this in Warhawk. Hell, I think it happens in a lot of online games, sadly.		2011-11-27 07:15:00

I think it's a super stupid concept. LBP is not the only game where people started 'dating'. In games like Maplestory and Habbo Hotel it happens aswell. I think it's pretty desperate. You don't need games to find love. Just get out there. Meet new people. Trust me, it's not that hard. Just give it a shot.2011-11-27 10:37:00

I pretty sure it's a hilarious result of desperation (and trolling, got to love trolling). I'm usually half-tempted to play one of those levels and Troll the heck out of it. However I'm concerned for my Sackperson's health... IYKWIM.2011-11-27 18:37:00

It's absolutely pointless and, in my opinion, stupid. You don't know who that person is. You shouldn't expose yourself to random people out there. It's like asking a random person on the streets with a sheet over their head to date you. You have no history of their actions, age, location, or condition. Plus, it's just creepy. Finding a video game character attractive? No. On a level I recently played (that had nothing to do with dating), many people found the sackgirl in the back extremely attractive (you know what they said, but I won't put that). It's like a disguise. It's not REALLY you, unless you're three inches tall and have a zipper running down your chest.
(Also, when I say "you", I'm not actually referring to YOU [creator of thread]. I made that mistake before :blush		2011-11-28 16:40:00

Wow, so weird how many people are against it, to my point of view, you guys are pretty snobby on this topic.
Ever heard of kids having fun, people playing around, people role-playing, people living their fantasy?
I mean, why do people make RPs in the first place?? Why do A LOT of people play them? It's all about fantasy, you dont have to be so negative about it, and put them in like 2 category's of why they do it...
LOTS of people would think people who play LBP are stupid. Why play a FPS on LBP, when you could play a so much better looking one, or why play a RPG on LBP when you could play a really good RPG instead. You understand? It's all to do with playing around, and a lot of people like to play around!
Any way, as for the stuff about revealing their personal information to the online stranger. They would never do that. Only very young minors would do that. I've played with a lot of people who do LBP dating, and I know it's not about desperation what so ever. Seriously people can sense whether or not someone is bad.
I use to think why do people dress the guy to look hot, and cool looking. Then I asked my self...Why do I make my sackling look like he is. It's because it's what I like. Obviously, they like dressing like that, so it's all good. ^^		2012-09-03 02:50:00

I'm actually friends with two people dating on lbp. They've video chatted, so they know what each other look like, and the whole thing has lasted for quite a while. The relationship has had bumps but it goes well (for LBP standards).
On the other hand, I have not been so lucky. My habit of charging ***-first towards random sackgirls I meet yelling "FEEEEEEMALES!" doesn't exactly go well. It doesn't help that I want to kill them, either. Pretty bad relationship tactic if you ask me.		2012-09-03 02:58:00
