(Some exceptions are stated separately when accessing locations after taking the ZEN METAL SeeKin test, ZEN MEAL Personality Quest, ZEN METAL Sim Soulmates, or after using one of ZEN METAL Doors. This applies everywhere else:)
- Do not expect men to commit to every woman they speak to or sleep with or vice versa. (Commitment without true connection is just another attachment disorder.)
- What you cannot offer to a person is not something you can demand from a partner, either. They can decide to drop that expectation on you, NOT YOU. (ie. If you don’t go to the gym 4 times a week but they do, they can decide whether you are still what they truly desire in a relationship or not. “Willing to live with” is not good enough for a ZEN METAL Unicorn Hunter!!
- ZEN METAL Unicorn Hunters do not think that commitment is the only thing needed for a successful relationship. Our needs are MUCH MUCH more complex than that.
- We do not like people who work double time to prove they are the unicorn just by being more than capable of commitment to someone much hotter, nicer, and smarter than themselves. They’re the fucking pest in our species. And we aren’t bug collectors.
- Respect people’s standards and their right to hunt unicorns.
- That said, we’re looking to find the perfect people (for us) to commit to on a ZEN METAL Unicorn Hunt, but with a much more complex set of requirements than “Are they willing to commit.”
- We are looking to “life simulate” or “test drive” an ideal reality that we’d love to transition into the 1st Life. Each person will have to work on their own idea of perfection and find the perfect people for their ideal reality.
- We will not be limited to a certain country or even a certain continent. When there’s a will, there is a way.
- We protect each other from commitment-obsessed people but try to keep an eye on phobias or traumas that keep each other from going after what we want.
- You can explain your most lurid fantasies and most perverted (as long as it’s legal to even simulate!!) wishes in a conversation, dating profiles, or adboards at ZEN METAL hangouts, and act out in Second Life adult areas. You can be disgusted by other’s ideas, but shut your mouth and move on. Not your Unicorn.
Your Character
- Try to look as realistically you as possible. (Weight and Height, too.)
- You are likely artistic enough to capture the essence of your style and aesthetics without making yourself recognizable to your RL friends.
- A person should feel that if they like the look of your avatar, they should also like the look of your person.
- It is more telling of you what you wish to be than who you are now, therefore, be what you know you could be if you had the permission to be “just you”. Sometimes, this is more than what you are in real, sometimes you wish to try a little less.
- You must be able to sustain your Second Life personality/body in First Life, too. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
- You are allowed to be much richer than you are in real. (Nobody assumes you’ve got yachts and cars and 5 houses or that you own a city.)
- You’re allowed to look younger than you are, assuming you’re over 18. It seems to be very difficult to get age right especially in the 35-60 bracket. Old skins exist, but the selection becomes very sparse in that middle aged category.
- Take this as a tip: Your animation override is the most important thing to get right after your hair. It is possible to combine different AO sets for a perfectly you mix.
