They will lose a lot, because real women on OF are predatory, and extract money from desperate men. Why pay for that when you can have basically the same thing for cheap/free?
You're very naive if you don't think his scenario is playing out all over the internet as we speak. It will blow up into a nightmare scenario for a lot of people very quickly once the tech gets better.
Lol I can appreciate the comment and concern. I am roleplaying a creeper, I am a parent of two teenage girls and have seen some of their friends go through some nightmarish scenarios.
I used to think this, but it's not true. While obviously the majority of use, it is not the concerning one. We could already have fantasies, but now they have some small amount of agency. The plot of 'wishes coming to life only to be revealed as curses' is as old as storytelling. The small but important number of people who will become attached beyond what is healthy is a concern, but we will for have to watch it evolve.
The change happened gradually throughout the 90's. People born in the late 80's typically had free-roam experience, while those born in the miid-late 90's did not,
Okay,singing requires manipulation of your voice (diaphragm + airways. You also need to know the correct posture to keep,but its not 100% necessary).
Dancing requires manipulation of your feet, legs, hips, shoulders, arms, hands, and head. Sometimes your belly and butt as well.
Just having a sense of rhythm isn't good enough. You can bob along to a rhythm with 100% accuracy, and not be "dancing." You need to know how to move your body in a way that is rhythmically accurate and pleasing to the eye, coordinating different body parts in alternating, but synchronized patterns. It's a totally different skill set. Musicians,for example, are often very reluctant dancers.
But sense of rhythm and good hearing is required to both singing and dancing. So there is a common skill. Singing requires manipulation of your body (diaphragm) and so does dancing, so your muscle coordination must be good, again common skill. And it just happens that there is not a single famous singer that behaves on scene like a typical non-dancer you can observe in a club.
So obviously there is some correlation between singing and dancing. It might not be very strong but it's obviously there and categorically saying that there is no such correlation what-so-ever is really strange.
There are a lot of famous singers that don't dance on stage. Neil Young, Kurt Cobain, Geddy Lee, Bob Dylan. Having a sense of rhythm and a good ear just aren't enough to make you a good dancer.
Your examples of singers that don't dance on the stage don't prove that they can't, but just that they don't want to.
I was asking about someone who is a well known singer but actually tries to dance but really can't and it shows.
And again, we are talking about correlation, and not exact match of skills. So it wouldn't mean that a great singer is automatically a _great_ dancer, too. Just that if someone is really good at singing he is likely to be pretty good at dancing but not necessarily exactly as good. Maybe that's part I didn't articulate clearly earlier.
And you were with them when they casually danced in clubs and you saw they actually can't dance? Or you are around that that kind of musicians that actually never ever dance for fun at their leisure?
Went to many music festivals, clubs, dances with them. They couldn't dance. They weren't incapable of learning how to dance. They just weren't automatically good at dancing because they were good at playing music.
an average low of 0 celsius in the winter is a LOT warmer than Canada, except maybe on the west coast. It's probably warmer than the Nordics too, and maybe Russia.
Hehe did the context somehow get completely lost somewhere? We were talking about whether Iceland is an “icy hellscape”. The summer temps and the number of people in warmer places is irrelevant. Nobody argued Iceland isn’t cool or cold relatively speaking. The only question is whether it’s below freezing, otherwise it can’t be icy, right? Reykjavik is not icy most of the time, even in winter. Reykjavik is also warmer in the winter than much of the inland US, and many many other inhabited places that freeze regularly. I was just trying to correct a common misunderstanding about Iceland. Sometimes people make incorrect assumptions based on the name.
I live in the states and forecasted low temps this week are lower than Reykjavik’s average low by more than 10 degrees, and lower than Reykjavik’s actual forecasted temps by 25 degrees (F)...
It would indeed be interesting to run the numbers. I’m guessing the number of people who live in below freezing temps in the middle of winter, places colder than Reykjavik for the coldest month or two of each respective locale, would probably exceed a billion.
I think what you're saying is that you find those temperatures very cold. You asked what "inhabited places" are colder than that; I gave you a list of countries totalling around 200 million people who would not find Icelandic winters cold. I'm not sure they'd be too happy with a high of 11 in the summer though.
