It took me a long time to figure out why certain dummies would try to kill me

The other day I was in Dalaran on my belf warlock when I got a whisper saying âqâ and then they said sorry, just checking you out. I thought it was funny because I caught him inspecting me and then we just started causally chatting.
But then he said something like well darn, you probably arenât even a girl in real life. I just responded with, I guess you will never know!
I donât find it to be âcringyâ but I do find it strange when people find your toon attractive and then try to flirt with you in hopes of you being a female irl that will become his in game gf. He wasnât wrong about me being a girl but still no. lol

I first started playing this game and had leveled my rogue in late BC⊠In wrath I decided to try a Warlock⊠So I made a human female warlock as was running around Elwynn killing stuff⊠A male warrior ran up to me⊠/wink and started taking off his armor while /dancing.
I deleted that character. Iâve since remade and leveled a different one⊠But yeah⊠um⊠yeahâŠ

People using the word cringey
On Stormrage I made an alliance alt and someone whispered me
âYour character is hot but youâre a dude so NOPE!â
Now this was intriguing to me. Did he want me to correct him so he could start something? I never answered.
I was on a worgen female in worgen form btw.

Back in Vanilla I started a female character with a goofy name that was an inside joke to me and my friends. We all had a laugh but I found out I liked playing the class, so I just kept playing the character.
I was never blatantly âhit onâ but a lot of people treated me very differently⊠and it was darn creepy. Guys would wander up to me and ask if I needed help with the quest, and they would offer me health potions or random items. I thought about giving up the character but I just kept rolling and got used to it.
Nowadays I play lots of female characters and I never have those kind of interactions with people anymore⊠but Iâll never forget how weird it was.
Iâve been playing female characters since lich King and I have never been hit on, harassed, or treated differently.
Maybe I just give off a male player vibe.

I think thatâs explainable by WoWâs phenomena. That it came out around the time people were getting broadband and just being exposed to the internet. Chatting and stuff and meeting people was all so new back then for people.
I donât think you see this replicated so much these days because of how many more outlets there are for socialization and what-not.
Which I guess is a good thing in your example.
Back when gold sellers were big it was common while in leveling zones to get random chats from them. I started a conversation with one of them and the guy basically spilled the beans on their entire business model and how they figured out how GMâs worked.
They told me about their long horrors and working conditions which was a thing I guess. Then he whatever started to tell me about his financial problems and girlfriend issues.
I must have been bored leveling but I entertained the guy for awhile until he had to leave because a GM was making a rotation in that area.
Watching Saurfang crumble beneath his failed vision of honor for helping his war-chief.
Iâm on Moon Guard.
If that isnât enough said, then reading some(many) of the RP profiles with RP addons like TRP can be quite a wild ride. A picture is worth a thousand words:

A girl joined our guild, went into the Discord, and posted her own nudes in the NSFW channel even though it was against the rules.
One of our guild members literally just said ânoâ as a joke, and she got so mad and called everyone in the guild out for being unwelcoming and discriminatory, even though it was clearly against the rules.
Welp, she left after. I actually have a video of one of our guild members reading some of the conversation that survived (itâs satire).
EDIT: The guild disbanded in January, sadly. The new guild system and the expansion werenât working out for a lot of people, and lots of people ended up leaving.

Being a pandaren is a blessing, but also a curse. Most cringe moment is being hit on by a level 1 warrior.
