    Okay, so this is what my toon looks like:

    And for the past.. god knows how many weeks... I have had random guys come up to me, send me whispers, even give out marriage proposals, ask me if I'm single, if I don't want to be single anymore, etc.

    Hey numbnuts, ESO isn't your personal dating site!

    It doesn't really bother me. I find it more hilarious that guys have to be so pathetic. Any other people experience this?

    No. Cause I only play male characters that dress for function. Men aren't changing their triggers. And a subset of men will ALWAYS react to their triggers. Especially if they have the option of remaining anonymous. It's like racism. But with sexual attraction.

    Feel free to disagree. I'm just bringin' the real.

    I agree about men having sexual triggers and acting based on them. I don't feel it's like racism though. I believe they are buried way deeper in the dna than that. They go back to actual species survival instincts that can't just be bred or taught of us in a couple decades of gender reassignment education or whatever we're supposed to be learning to be the FOTM acceptable pc person

    I highly doubt this is true. While people have awkwardly hit on my wife (and me while playing a female character), it doesn’t happen that often. This seems more like you just wanted to share your character and felt you needed an excuse. Not sure why.

    This could be a trap to get people to admit genders for stalking purposes.

    They just have not realised that 90 % of female toons have a fat bald guy behind the key board in a spagehtti stained briefs

    Hey! That's offensive! I still have hair.

    And this really isn't the place to make your "Share our bad experiences cause Men suck" thread.

    Just ignore em or report them if it's bad enough.

    So is it bad that in dungeons I make my gf promise me certain favors before I will revive her?

    It definitely is. ;)

    Well. Of course, being of the Male persuasion myself, I took the jests of this thread as a generalized attack and got triggered. Now I'm gonna have to go shopping for some butthurt ointment.

    I've never seen France, but I'm sure it exists. You get my point, yes? Just because you yourself have never experienced something, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

    In response to this and your original thread-starter....

    Your character looks like you tried to make it an approximation to your real life self. That character is not outright ugly to people as well.
    Combine those 2 initial impressions and you will get attention.

    BUT, the more likely reason why you get those messages if that you tend to be around where the type of people that send them like to hang out. Something tells me it is a capital city of the first large city a newbie loads into.

    Everyone who has ever played any MMO has had weird encounters with other players. That is what ignore is for and/or they often change appearance to avoid it.
    Deal with it using ignore or something or change your appearance if you can't.

    I have a gal pal in the game who used to have guys fawn over her. One was so obsessed he talked about getting married and having kids and what not. She wasn't interedted in him that way but he just kept pushing and pushing, saying what a great boyfriend he'd be. Finally she told him how it was and suddenly he started acting like a complete ass towards her. Just because she shot down his advances.

    She looks very very young - that could be the reason. I also have a really young looking character now (a Breton) but mine has more of a creepy little girl vibe. You'll rescue her from wolves and little red riding hood will knock you dead when you're not looking.

    Got 22 characters total... never got propositioned in ESO. The most comments I get are "wow that's a very dark Khajiit".

    I keep myself offline at all times, except for like the occasional 30 seconds where I need my status to update. This is for a few reasons.

    1) I run guilds and don't like constant whispers
    2) I got hit on quite a few times in awkward ways, especially by the RP people. No, I don't want to be your slave, no I don't want you to be my furry companion, I already have a mount, and, to be honest, I'm just here to game.
    I run The Auction House, The Silk Road, Insert Guild Name Here and RawlMart. Because why not.

    Well I found my new wife through the game so it worked out for em :tongue: But its pretty funny how often my wife gets hit on cause of her cute Bosmers she plays. Some are funny, some are just friendly compliments, and some are down right creepy.

    There are a lot of creepy men :p
