Why More Women (forum Post)08:39 Jun 15 2009

MBK>>>>>Because there are a lot of teenage girls who are infatuated with Edward Cullen and come here hoping to meet him.
Speaking only for myself, I didn’t come for the social. It is a wonderful bonus, but not what drew me to stay. I bought my accounts for a very different reason.
I will have to admit. I came here for the sole reason that I hated MySpace with a severe passion. It was wonderful upon its creation, but lost all appeal as Tom lost control of it in slow degrees. I got hate mail, and pervs day in day out. They wanted to marry me, cyber sex, web cam, nude photos, etc. I couldn’t read my mail for spammed junk and idiots everywhere I looked. I followed a friend here that had the same problems and was just as fed up with it as I was.
I stayed here even as he didn’t. I won’t get into details. I stayed not because of the social, so much as the system. It fascinates me. I love vampires, and always have. The mere mention of them sends tingles of delight throughout my body. I write stories. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. I draw. I am attracted to any knowledge I can glean about supernatural things, especially vampires and shape shifters (changelings, lycanthrope, etc.).
I bought my accounts here for a reason most probably wouldn’t understand. VR itself fascinates me. I loved the FAQ, the Status System, the Manual, leveling profiles…Some of my favorite games are because I like to level my characters more than play the story lines. I love the rules and restrictions. I love the concept of having my control taken from me and passed around like a little lost sheep…lol. I also like BDSM and S&M themes, so that could have a ground in why I like vampire hierarchy. I like working the pages to make them better and better. I knew coding before I got here, but VR has enhanced that and expanded it. I learn new codes every week and play with them for hours just seeing which way I can stretch them. Even if no one on VR speaks to me, I love it here. Silence is better than ignorance anyhow. Still, there are great people here. People I never would have known had I not stayed.
I like Bloody Feather too. The dripping quill is wonderful symbology.
IN RESPONSE TO OTHER POSTS: Okay first...because this sticks in my head the clearest of what I am reading. The bible is a book. The person reading it has to take into consideration that it was written about a man who never actually lifted the pen. Therefore, it is clouded with the oppinions of the person writing it. Furthermore, it is hand copied for generations and eventually re-written by the church. If you really read it, there are contradictory elements within it. How can a man with long hair and a robe who was practically 'born in a barn' say you should be thrown out of a building for wearing makeup, cutting your hair, wearing pants, being homeless, etc.? You have to read it with half an eye for the arrogant additions of men. Jesus loved everyone. Yes, even...and especially the repentant whore. I don't think he would care what you did as long as the intent behind it was not mean-spirited...and would forgive even that if you honestly grew to regret it.
Secondly, I know a great deal about Wicca, Witchcraft, Elements, etc. as I am avidly curious about every religion I come across. I was raised Christian and my father is a half-blooded Indian. I grew to understand the similarities between the two and the differences. I got older and more open-minded, so I branched out. All religions have a basic similarity with only superficial differences if you actually study them without bias.
I like Wicca because I like the Elements. Storms own my soul. I cannot resist going outside to be near it. The more wild the storm; the more stupid I get over them. It is an compulsion from deep within me. When I was 6 my father had to literally run outside and yank me out of a tornado because I was walking into it in facination. Fear never entered my mind. I have since learned a healthy respect for lightning.
You are right on the male/female ratio. Common fact of life: there are more women.
My father is just as spiritually diverse and devout as I am so I wouldn't really say men and women are too different on that. I haven't noticed if they are.
I have probably forgotten something I wanted to say...
Oh, yes...I have something. As much as I like Edward, Dylan...I would much prefer Alice and Jasper, so your theory sucks....*sticks tongue out and snickers*
P.S. I like Carlisle the most. He has earned my respect for his politeness, job, and lifestyle. As well as being the one who turned Edward and accepted Alice and Jasper without reservations.

I agree with you, I also have 2 lifetime on 2 pros and 2 yearly on other pros. And I am 100% sure like you, when someone loves what they are doing, when they are working on their dream, it shows and Cancer is working on his dream, and it shows. Wonderfully.
