wouldnt this be a suggestion? Anyhow, I say embrace the social norms of Torn. Marry whom you have to. Love all you want. It's a wild a debauched place here in Torn. Just go with it.

And...?

Again, functionally they're the same.

If you want to talk to them, shoot them a message. If you want to live with them, marry them. That's what it's there for. I understand you have some hang-ups about the gay thing, but it doesn't pose a real threat to you, you'll survive.

One last thought: If you're looking to rent a property, you most likely aren't married. So just get married.

Look maybe he loves the closet so much he doesnt want to come out!
Dont pressure him, he will accept his natural desires when he is ready.

Not worth the effort of putting this in...also there are no girls on the internet so we're all dudes in gay marriages ;)

This is just an internet RP game, not Facebook so I don't think perceptions around marriage matter at all as its not like our rl lives...if that makes sense.

That said people saying OP is "in the closet" seems just as ignorant as the thread >.> #fytfytfyt

you need a thicker skin than that if you are going to post stupid ideas in the forums! and dont bitch and whinge about the hate because that leads to bounties. (you know your moaning/whinging is getting real good when dunmugme comments all happy like)

In all honesty if you'd only kept that part of it being 'awkward to marry a dude' out of your post you might have escaped the lashing. Also, it's a general discussion forum. They found your approach homophobic and they 'discussed' the crap out of it..'generally'.

As for your original point, the concept of a room-mate sharing a property with you without having to marry is really redundant on Torn because marriage takes care of it without any hassles. If this was implemented, this'd be a needless redundancy. Suppose you're Person A and you want to share a PI with Person B. But you two don't want to get married. You both rent a PI from the market and start living in it. Down the road, Person B decides he wants to get married to someone. But even if he does, from a game-play point of view it'd be futile, because he is already enjoying the main perk of marrying someone, i.e, sharing a property. I'm sure you'd agree at this stage no one would be allowed to share TWO properties. It'd be pointless anyway.

So basically what it boils down to is, Person A is single, and sharing a property with Person B, who is married to Person C for no obvious benefit other than a label of being married (oh and perhaps commitment merits). So what's the point in doing this? Person A can easily marry Person B, share a PI and be done with it all?

I hope this makes it clear. If you still feel the need to state your point however, I'd suggest the 'Suggestions' forum.

Bro, i didn't see your original post before you edited it so I just have to guess what you said based on all the other posts. One in particular on your part did seem to be somewhat of a Freudian slip in nature ('beating the shit'). Anyway that's not my point.

My my point is that, don't worry about these other peeps. If you are a homophobe then that's cool, that's just the way you are and either you will change or you won't. I just want to let you know that either way I will still love you, xxx.

You will probably have to have a gay marriage im afraid.
The woman in my house just logs on once every few months and sometimes gives me all her play money and then i dont hear from her again for months.
If you marry a strong boy he might be able to look after you.
