I can't believe we're discussing this, though. Anyway, what Thror said is pretty much what I'm thinking about. My ex was convinced it'd be a great idea in water, but she changed her mind rather quickly.
I've done it in water... it wasn't that bad. Couldn't get things done so we just did it on the outside of the pool

I don't think I'd like to hear the Great White Apes howling in the distance... or the thoats for that matter...
But, maybe that's just me.

#191- Where (what LOCATION- to head off any nonsense) would you really like to be intimate with someone? The beach, a boat, a car, etc.
!@#$. I can't answer this.

it was most definitely pokemon silver, first pokemon game of my own and you could never get me to put it down. First game to really get me into PC games was RuneScape, it was some of the best times i had haha. Wish i had invested that time in WoW though

Or maybe his fantasy is to be a Pokemon Pimp in Runescape. Don't discount the answer- people can have whatever fantasies they want. I'm sure if you type "Rule 34 Pokemon" into google with no safety precautions, you'll find he's not alone :P

#192- How strongly do you trust first impressions?
I personally am pretty open when I first meet people, and will tend to give them the benefit of the doubt. What I would call a "first impression" for myself would be the first major impressions they have on me- the first thing that they say or do that actually gives some insight into how they work. Based on that "first impression," though, I tend to be pretty set on it. If I think someone is a genuine nice/good person, then I will give them the benefit of the doubt most of the time when misunderstandings come up, or other people relay anecdotes about them. When my first impression of you is really negative, though, then I will totally write you off- you could walk off a cliff and I would not care.

I have a problem with first impressions. I hold grudges and make fast friends and have a terrible memory. What this translated to in WoW is that I'd not see someone for a few weeks, they'd return to the game and I'd treat them coolly, only to remember that we had fantastic heroic runs. Or the other way round: I'd go out of the way to boost their alt, only to remember they ninja'd my gear on their main or something.
I don't try to be vindictive (would rather ignore players who've slighted me in the past) and I absolutely excuse unfamiliarity or lack of skill in a game, especially if the latter is a result of the former. Recently I was playing (in RuneScape, lol: I unsubbed, but have some time remaining) a game of Barbarian Assault where a new addition to the team asked some basic questions about his role (as in, should have picked them up in the tutorial). My teammates sighed, but I gave him a chance and he played his role flawlessly. We breezed through the content. Another guy played decently consistently, got us to the penultimate level of that content, then got into a spat with another teammate (telling him he must have bought gold because there's no other way to afford his expensive hat) and then left the team, forcing us to restart. That's the sort of stuff I'll put someone on ignore for. I cannot stand people who go out of their way to make other people's games miserable and will do everything in my power to make sure they're not rewarded for their attempts.
In real life, I had a hell of a first week at sixth form (grades 11 and 12 for Americans) because of some guy in my Biology class. He attended John Lyon's school in Harrow before attending the particular Sixth Form and was rather miffed his parents didn't send him to Eton. We had a mutual friend in Biology (mutual friend talked Macs with him and PCs/games with me), so sat together. He'd constantly harp at my "American accent" and mannerisms, correct me on "affect/effect", the circumflex I missed in "role", the subjunctive and so forth. Most memorably he insisted "meme" was pronounced "mem" for a while because of its French origin, despite Dawkins explicitly saying it shouldn't be. He also said that "viewed from this vantage" is incorrect English and it ought to be "viewed from this vantage point", which I maintain is redundant. I made a thread on GameFAQs about how I was finding it hard to acclimatise to Sixth Form with this guy there. One of the posters said I'd be boinking him behind the school stage soon enough. While that didn't happen and despite still being bitter over these corrections, we're somehow still friends.

I don't tend to put much stock in first impressions because it's incredibly easy to be fake for a while, so your first impression may not necessarily be what that person is like at all. If I have a negative first impression of somebody, however, it is more likely to stick than a positive one.

When it comes to first impressions, it's hard to say. Most the people I have met and encountered have been fairly genuine, but there is a good handful that have turned out to be incredibly flakey and fake, just because they wanted to be accepted.
When it comes to those kinds of people, it takes a few encounters for me to trust them and give them any sort of benefit of the doubt.

#192- How strongly do you trust first impressions?
Short answer - yes
Slightly longer answer - I have been known to reappraise people I meet and work with after a time and see if my first impression was right. I have found that some people I have met first in a work environment have been entirely different and much more likeable (and vice-versa) in a social environment. Due to the environment I work in I am often forced to socialise with people that I'd normally steer clear of if I met on the streets which I think has honed my instincts on first meeting people.

Meh first impressions can be deceptive so I don't trust them.
I could meet X person, when X has had a bad day and is understandably cranky. This doesn't necessarily means X is a jerkass, it could simply mean he had a horrible day. If during more meetings I still see X on a foul mood, and completely unapproachable, then I may conclude that X is simply a jerk no matter how good or bad his/her days are.
Likewise I could meet a person that is all polite, smiles, and sweetness, when in reality they're sharpening the knives behind their back.
All in all, I never trust first impressions, it takes me a long time, and a prolonged period of interaction to properly form an idea of a person, and derive my conclusions then.
