I have also experienced what Val has mentioned happening to him. During the few times I do wander into the Quicksand these days, I often send a quick /tell to a person I see saying hello and asking if they want to RP, because you know half of them are just people watching or AFK. Out of the ones that do respond, a few of them often tell me they are just people watching, then 30 minutes later I see them ICly flirting up lady characters there. Here is one story I'll share. My character bumped into a person, chatted her up. It was all good. Sea Captain land locked until she can get some new sails. My character, who runs a tailoring and leather business saw dollar signs (gil signs?) and made an offer to get his business to do it, since sails are very large and take a very long time to make.Â
Thought this was going to be the real deal in making a new friend, RPed a couple more times, and then she wanted to buy some new clothes. Since the store is custom made to order, my character needed measurements. During the whole measurement process she was hitting on him hard, until he finally caved and did the deed (he was not with his current lady at this time). After that, never heard from them again.  My character's business never did make those sails and never got paid. ;_;
Nowadays, he is often not given the time of day by any women not in his little circle of friends once they find out he is already taken and is just wanting to hang out and chat on his time off.
