I'd be curious to read the male version but feel free to add to this one anyway. But sniffle, try and be nice!

HOW TO SURVIVE PW with what's left of YOUR HEART intact.

1) If you read the word LOVE replace it with the words: Jello Pudding. Jello Pudding is sweet, inexpensive, and you'll eventually want to replace it with Ben and Jerry's. Seriously, girls, your pixels are lovely. You'll hear the L word soon and often. DO not attempt to rely on it for truth, meaning, or purpose. He's prolly said the same thing to other girls and eventually she'll be shrieking, "ARE YOU TWO DATING. HE SAID HE LOVVVVVVED MEEEEEE.' And you'll wonder who the twit really is. Oh, and if you're wondering, it's prolly me, er, you.

2) Do not get married. It's expensive. Well over 30,000,000. Avoid it at all costs.

3) Be truthful about yur age. Or be prepared to be shocked when he really acts like an adolescent and you really act like a crazy person.

4) Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, even if they have funny accents and dole out medical advice.

5) Don't take them seriously either.

6) Never plan ahead, someone won't show up. And because you're a girl, it will hurt your feelings. And then you'll be annoyed.

7) When the going gets rough, hide. Flee. Delete. Just try not to stalk.

8 ) I know it's tempting to want to be flown around. (GOD, I suck at multi tasking.) But beef up yur skills. Nothin's really cooler than watching the guy that lied to you repeatedly get stabbed by a wraith who isn't even you. DIE. DIE.DIE. Nah, I'm kidding. Save him. Yet again. Then fly away. FAST.

9) Laugh at yurself.

10) A lot.

11) Form friendships that defy the rules of logic.

12) Ease up.

13) Laugh at yurself some more.

14) Choose yur own friends. Don't allow anyone else to decide who they should or shouldn't be. Trust yur gut on this one. And if you find out yur wrong (yet again) go back to rule 9.

    In a very simplistic, general way....play it like a game, have fun, fool around and for heaven's sake, dont treat it like RL b:victory

    PS: This could very well be the male version

    That makes NO SENSE at all.

    Guy gamers, Girl gamers, Gurl gamers G.I.R.L. gamers, *** and even Pedo gamers.

    They exist and they love you not as a pixels (because that is sick) but as a human being.
    Also the fact that they love you doesn't mean they are IN LOVE with you.

    If you really want to "survive" accept the others among with yourself and l2P.

    As someone who has been gaming for about sixteen years, I've pretty much been through it all when it comes to online shenanigans. My advice is to leave romantic relationships to the real life. It's fine to make friends online. Some of my best RL friends were made through gaming online. But -dating- online is just asking for drama and disappointment. 9 out of 10 of the people who are really into online dating...end up being crazy, clingy, under aged(for those of you over the age of consent), the opposite gender than what you think they are, or many other things you might not expect. This goes for girls and guys.

    So keep it to a friendship. For those of you that like to roleplay (play the role of your character in game) then just remember it's just pretend and always make sure the person you're "dating" in game realizes it's just pretend.

    Always remember the Golden Rule. Do to others what you would have done to yourself. Unless someone's a complete dillhole people will generally be nice to you if you are nice to them. This is a good way to make lots of decent friends. Just watch out for the users (ie. the dillholes mentioned above) that like to take advantage of nice people. Always have a backbone and don't be afraid to nicely say no.

    When all else fails, save your feelings some grief and use that magic ignore button

    And remember girls - the guy that says he loves you after knowing you a whole ten minutes has NO idea what love is. Don't fall for the sweet talkers. ; )

    A lot of times the guy doesn't even care if you have a boyfriend. When in doubt, if you really want him to go away, always say you're a guy.

    Best way to avoid love aches in PWI:

    Learn how pathetic e-dating is. Seriously saves you the trouble of getting feelings hurt online.

    How to avoid love and friendship aches in virtual life?
    I would say.. just get a good real life. Get well anchored in your real life - have friends, romances, flirts or whatever. Let the game be your entertainment, a moment of relax where you meet some new people, know something different from your normal life.
    Then even if you get fascinated by somebody ingame, your real life will permit you to look at it with distance.. and smile.
    All is possible, even a stable relation with a person you met ingame. But all depends of age also - when you're 16, you cannot move 1 000 km to live with your beloved. Which finally you will see is not so different than the guys you have around you.

    Well, there is also another method to get rid of guys really easily : you say you're married b:laugh If your attitude is mature enough - then you will pass for mid-aged nice married woman. Nothing sexy...b:chuckle

    b:chuckle Priceless "guide"! Seriously, it made me laugh a bit.
    Most guys with good brains don't care who is what, so long as you play fair and are kind- but some are just... I don't know. They see the word "girl" and their brain shuts down, their IQ reverts to equal their in-game level (note: most are below lv80) and they start hitting on us. The thought that I might be a 50 year old dude in a basement doesn't even occur to them.
    (no, I'm not... or am I? See? Nobody will have to find out! XD)

    Oh well, this guide is pretty useless... but it was funny enough! :P

    Highlight in bold there, it's the one flaw in what I otherwise agree with.

    Great idea for a guide! With all the drama and grief I see people go through, this is probably the most needed guide for PWI (not sure if that should make me laugh or cry).

    It was a fun, honest, and thoughtful read, ...many thanks b:pleased

    But without all the drama, where would the entertainment be? It's like reading a soap opera sometimes. b:chuckle But seriously, this is good info for real life too. As for the age thing, don't forget that the internet can seriously subtract years from your real age (or add to it). Rule of thumb says about 10 years difference (+/-).

    As for the following your heart bit:
    Follow these Steps in Order
    1) Meet them in person
    2) Meet their friends
    3) See what they're like on a bad day
    then follow your heart.

    Remember: You can't change them or even fix them, but you do have to live with them the rest of your life.

    --Just a stranger's two cents b:cute

    This is truefax, ya'all. I completely agree with everything. Even though i have more guy friends on every game i play than i do girl friends, they still keep their distance. yeah, we chat and stuff but they dont do anything bad to or about me. little random conversations and stuff. that's about as far as we get. b:pleased
