.....(For women) You find yourself far outspending your real life clothing budget trying to keep up with what you have bought for your Second Life ® wardrobe.
.....You become much less tolerant, and more easily annoyed, when someone you don't know comes too close, and you wish with all your might that someone would invent a real life anti-push hud.

.....You become much less inhibited in your behavior, and dress far sexier than you ever did before.
