I met my first girlfriend that way, we'd go hunting for crabs in the wilderness by day and then sell our catch at the marketplace. It was hard being online at the same time but we made it work. We built fires and prayed in the evenings under the starry sky, and fell asleep in each others arms, until that fateful night when I came back from my fishing trip to find all her belongings in a single pile, surrounded by blood. I feared the worst, but kept hopeful and waited. My patience waning, I finally ventured out of the wilderness and towards the reset point, where I found her... outside of a cave garbed in dungeoneer equipment mumbling nonsensical words about grinding. :'-(

[-] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Hey, least you only caught crabs

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[-] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

This was a much, much better story than Twilight

I would make money in UO sometimes by logging into a female character and "bowing" in front of people to make it look like my character was performing oral sex. You could also spam "bow" while the other player spammed "salute" while standing behind the first player to look like doggy style sex.

Ultimate Slut.

non-ethical monogamous situationship

So ... sexual slavery?

I'm having a hard time coming up with another situation that fits that description.

[-] macrocarpa@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

It's a piss take of the ethical non-monogamy apps.

But if we're being a bit real - nonconsentual arranged marriages, 50 year age gaps, marriage for money, marriage for convenience etc etc would fit the bill

[-] havid_dume@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago

It does say non-ethical instead of unethical, whatever that means.

Also doesn't clarify what part of the situationship is un/non-ethical, so maybe it's just about undisclosed political campaign contributions or smth

[-] abs_mess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago

Non-ethical as in, ethics doesn't apply? Like a situation-ship with 27 cubic feet of drywall.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Non-ethical could mean without ethics not in violation of ethics?

I guess that would mean the relationship has not or could not be defined by petty human rules of conduct. Like telling a supernova or a black hole to clean up it's mess.

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

maybe the fact the situationship isn't clarified on purpose is what makes it non-ethical

[-] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Non-ethical is not "as opposed to unethical", I'm sure. Rather, it's a word play on enm, ethical non-monogamy.

That's how I read it, anyhow. I'm not the author.

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Same… I’m not the author either

[-] June@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Prob like Ashley Madison or smth that’s focused on married people finding people to cheat with.

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

"situationships" I think is the key operator. Where there's probably a power dynamic, one person is being led on/getting played, and the other person is the player.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

Doesn't sound very monogamous.

[-] June@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Ooh I read that wrong lol. I read it as unethical non monogamous 😅

[-] xor@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

all monogamous relationships are non-ethical

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 31 points 11 months ago

I'm scared to ask, but what is a "situationship"?

[-] Zoldyck@lemmy.world 58 points 11 months ago

A relationship for people who are scared of the word 'relationship'

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

Basically relationship with no official label as both parties don't want to commit but enjoy things as they are.

[-] tryptaminev@feddit.de 25 points 11 months ago

Realistically more suffering than enjoying, because they want someone to comit to them, but not comit themselves, ever bound in a cycle of emotional on-off turmoil.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

= friends with benefits

[-] kadu@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Or more frequently, somebody who thought they were dating but didn't explicitally ask and somebody who's got zero intention of dating but isn't going to make that clear as to not lose the benefits.

[-] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Or even rarer and kinkier, frenemies with benefits

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Ah sweet, hate fucking 👍

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

A portmanteau for people who can't commit.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I thought it meant that the two people were together because of the situation they are in and when it changes they are going on their way. Like anonymous sex but sometimes dinner and a movie.

Damn, that‘s hot

[-] FoxFairline@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 11 months ago

Try Guild Wars 2 someday.

Never had the intention to date, but still met my wife there.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

It's a great game for that as there's a big focus on cosmetics and casual soliazing. I played it on release and I remember people hanging out at the beach area next to the main city.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 17 points 11 months ago

I meet girls the old way: never(I use Arch BTW).

[-] havokdj@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Jesus, I was literally just thinking about runescape and this comes up on my feed. I didn't even say it out loud (I have grapheneos and hardened Linux machines anyways)

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 11 months ago

Old school RS has been having a bit of a revival in recent years

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

The 0 in your name made me think you were downvoted, and I started to get really worked up for about one or two seconds.

[-] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

What about dating on the Fediverse instead?

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Honestly people on Mastodon are very datable. I wonder whether there are dating/sexting communities out there.

[-] CryptidBestiary@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Cyber?

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 15 points 11 months ago

a/s/l?

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Log on to world 301, plop yourself in the GE, and sit and watch humanity at its worst. Truly more entertaining than Twitter could ever be.
