Is Language that much of a barrier

[JennyT]

I find the written word to be more stimulating than watching an animated drone I control on screen.  Yeah, heathen I know, I should just stick to plain ol chat rooms.

But this adds an extra level.  The trouble is a lot of people are content to just watch and control and don't talk.

But getting me into the room … *sigh* … i'm so picky.

JT – How are ya?
Prospective Partner – Horny

… pass.

Prospective Partner – You look so sexy.

… pass.  Sorry, but it's just an avatar and a look that is shared by half a dozen others at the time.

Is it too much to ask for original and slightly intelligent?

Now see the right answer is “Well thank you, but how could you tell? You can only see my avatar.”

Bite me Bobbycake.

be sexier if you said it in french…

It very much depends. Talkative is a must for me. But sometimes, if someone isn't very well versed in English but really makes an effort, and you connect at some level, it can be absolutely wonderful regardless of the language barrier. It can even lead to some humorous situation once in a while, and some laughs is a definite plus IMO. On the other hand, silent people is a definite turnoff, no matter their language…

Agree Chris. Different languages can bring you to wonderful and humorous situations. Laughing together is always great.

Indeed, sometimes the funniest things come out when someone directly translated from their own language. And having fun means more than hitting it off in a room, also means being able to laugh to the other and together…

Sentences turn out quite messed up when one directly translate regular speech sentences in swedish to english.

Resulted in this.

Different languages can bring you to wonderful and humorous situations.

Which eventually lead to the guy not understanding “No”.

@JennyT: did you get the “Why” when you told him “No” or maybe “please”? Its quite the turnoff (even if I wasn't interested to begin with) to hear people beg.

[Lover]

@Jenny:
I disagree. You already are talking when you come into wonderful and humorous situation. Every person understands the term “no” – if he/she wants to

[TightFit74]

And if they don't they should not even try or bother to approach someone that speaks English. Although that is not really an excuse. No is similar in most languages. No, no, non, nee, nein, njet, hayir (different, turkish…lol), etc. etc.

[Adera]

You missed “nej”.

Its quite different in Japanese though as its “ie”.

[sinnnn]

Well teach me some french, my last french teacher faild me.
