SL vs. RL (Second Life vs. Real Life)

I feel like when meeting strangers there are several routes to take. A person can be openly friendly, and very outgoing and charming; or a person can be very closed off and appear to be cold; or a person could react in a very shy but polite way. There are several ways to respond while meeting someone for the first time. It also depends on who your meeting. If you are meeting some average joe next door you might not get excited or be as open to meeting that guy and getting to know him. On the other hand if you were to meet someone who you find very attractive, the friendliness will probably sway the other way, and you would probably be much more open to getting to know that person. This seems a little ridiculous, but it is true, people still judge other people by the way they look on the outside. You would think that since we have come so far with our own evolution that we could be able to move past appearances and look past that into peoples hearts. No matter how hard we try I feel like it is almost impossible to actually be able to not judge someone by the way they look or act, simply because it is our nature to associate certain characteristics with certain ideals in our mind. You may not judge someone solely on there appearance, but as soon as you meet that person you probably associate that person with a certain memory or maybe even another person from your life. I believe that this act is done sub-consciencely. You can't help you experiences and memories nor should you ever. You are able to remember people that you can immediately find a bond with easier, so that is how people work, we remember by association, it's not always bad. 

I think that people in real life are much more quicker to judge completely based on appearance. People in SL have a much more different take on the world because you can choose to look like whatever you want in SL, whereas in real life you are slightly limited. I have also found that people in SL are generally much more welcoming than the average stranger.  I feel like as a SL community, they very supportive of one another, and generally want the best for people and the community. I think people in real life are to fixed on helping themselves get better without much thought for the community growing as a whole. I feel like that is the main difference between SL and real life.
