Why do men "POOF?" Part 1

by Marcophoto Upshaw

Recently I became aware of a trend in Second Life ®. "Poofing" men.

No nooo, I am not referring to "poofers," that pejorative reference to effeminate men. I am speaking of something that even the most battle hardened master swordsmen of Gor do.

It seems that many men--points to self--when backed into a corner by the irrefutable logic of a woman will, with great finesse, understanding, patience and love...simply "poof"--vanish into thin air in a burst of particle clouds without a goodbye or a "how do you do?"

I thought it was just me, but reports are filtering in from the field that this is a common trait of men in SL.

My spies are everywhere. They trek throughout SL to find the latest trends and issues. At one time I hired them just to track down all the HAWT gals in SL. Where do you think I found all you great gals to join my blog? I mean, sheesh, Marco is a great lover, but even he needs a little sleep now and then. Hence the spies.

They trekked everywhere in SL--well, trekked and tp'd actually, from the Lost Gardens of Apollo to the mountains of Svarga Svarga (which alas is no more, having recently been sold to land developers.)

And from women everywhere, a wail has gone up in the land..."Why do men "poof?" Why don't they stay and talk things out? No one knows.

Personally I think it is a sign of immaturity in our development. Our mommies coddled us and indicated that women everywhere would do as we told them to, and would back down in the presence of the royal penis. What a shock it is to young men from all walks of life to find strong women who refuse to be awed by the royal hard one.

When asked by their significant other in SL "why"
they did a certain thing or why they reacted a certain way, they respond by "poofing."

When asked why he was dancing with her girlfriend, he poofs.

When asked if he is cheating on her, he poofs.

When told, "no, you CAN'T have sex with both me and my alt," he poofs.

When asked why he did not plan something more fun to do for their date, he poofs.

When she logs on and finds him wearing his erect Xcite cock--without having been with him herself--and she asks him about it, he poofs.

When told she really doubts he died in RL, and is just using that as an excuse to break up with her in SL, he poofs.

What is with this pathetic behavior?

I have a theory. In RL, we guys can "blow up." We can rant and rave and yell and holler, and slam the door, and stalk out to go have a beer with the guys. But it is hard to slam doors in SL. Hence the poof.

Gals have told me they dread the poof. Did he crash? Did his dog bite his cable in half? Did lightening hit the power cable outside his home?

Noooo, more likely his mommy accidently unplugged his cable when she told him to lift his feet so she could vacuum under his feet. All those crumbs have built up from eating at his computer.

She will need a vacuum the size of a moving truck to vacuum out all the crumbs. So maybe in her haste to suck up the mess she unplugged his internet connection.

But the more likely story is...he just poofed.

Ironic isn't it? He may be a sword-draped master swordsman in SL, but when da widdle boy doesn't get his way with his woman, he poofs.

Slammed doors or "poofing"? It's the same
thing. Just quieter.

Tomorrow, "What do men do while they are offline after a poof?"

Meanwhile ladies, would you share some poofing stories in the comment section?

Has a man ever poofed on you?

What was going on that precipitated the poof?

What pathetic excuse did he have when he came back online?

What did you do or say when he came back?

And the most important question of all...are you still seeing him?
