Having experienced this virtual bar for a while now, I find it has a unique appeal. My other blogs, on 360 and Multiply, and my website, www.cosmicrat.com, have been mostly dedicated to serious sociopolitical information and exposition, but this site seems to be reserved for fun, and an unusual form of social interaction.
I am a little puzzled by the relevance of points and status levels, but I suppose some people need to compete, whether it means anything or not.
I think the point system of ratings rather diminishes the ability to communicate via ratings. Sure, I'll give you a 10 because you gave me one, but if I think someone is especially cool, then what? I don't want to 'insult' someone else with only a 9, and I guess I have to be a paid member to use 11's.
As for pictures, I think it's strange to use someone else's picture as your own, or fantasy art instead of a real photo. And the teasing-cleavage shot has been a bit overused, don't you think? There are many other ways to look cute and sexy. And those who succeed in looking good and then say they don't want to turn someone on are being a bit disingenuous, in my opinion. Just because I might want to see you naked doesn't mean I don't want to appreciate your mind too. Bodies and minds go together. This is directed at no one in particular, but anyone who would like to comment, I'd like to hear from you all.
I'll continue to explore, and try to understand more about the sociology of Fu.
