| Just curious, as one of my friends was incredulous that I actually introduced myself as "Action", but do you guys tell chicks your real names or your game names? |

Heheheh. I LOVE this question.
There's been an incredible amount of confusion about this over here too.
Personally, I use my real name when introducing myself to either a Wing or a woman, to save both confusion and to be...well polite. 
When it comes to the forums, I use "Cuboid". If anybody from the community calls me on my phone for the first time, 9 times out of 10, they say "Hi, is this Cuboid?" then I immediately know what the call is about.
However! For the sake of fun and flirtation, use whatever name or handle you like if you want to when it comes to approaches.
Something I've recently developed (Thankyou batchelorette Bunny Girls!) is to refer to myself as a pet name any of the girls might have had, or at least something they can all refer to me as if they're in a group. This will open them up more to your fun frame, and just appear more memorable, even if it's not who you really are. |

| I use my real name everywhere but here, and even here I'm willing to bust out my real name if the situation calls for it. I keep my real name quiet online for Mocha's security more than anything; her mother would disapprove of our activities to a fair extent, and her career choices are going to put her under some intense public scrutiny (for all the right reasons, but still). |

| My friends started introducing me as "Thee All Seein Ian" a while ago, I use it all the time now. People are like...wtf is that? I just laugh and proceed with the conversation. Girls ask what it means all the time, to which I respond by telling them its my alter ego. Which is usually followed by the question of what alter ego. Now, I have them intrigued and can DHV by telling them about being an underground hip-hop artist. I would only use it if you can turn it into something useful, like my method above. Just telling some chick your random ass made-up name with no interesting details about it or reasons might make you seem...weird? |

When I am talking to a bunch of girls or guys it is totally at random wether I introduce myself as Giacomo or not. I seem to have a billion different nicknames and I just rattle them as the moment pleases me. Alot of people say when I introduce myself as Giac 'Ooo thats interesting' but it isnt that far out of the ordinary. I have a reasonably DHV story to tell about the name too (comfort stage stuff though not attraction) and so it doesn't feel weird to me or anything like that.
I guess if I had a stranger game name like 'Forumader' or 'PUAmeister' I might think differently. But really, what is in a name? And you can always do with more to talk about so why not introduce yourself as something intriguing.
Hell, I introduce myself commonly as 'Parrotfish', 'Hyde', 'The astronaut' and various others. Said with a smile it always gets an inquisitive reaction. Most of them have a backstory and if someone says something like 'why are you the astronaut' I just say 'I have been studying astrophysics and combustion at cape caneveral for the past 2 years. I am pretty much a genius, I am going to mars one day...' Some people think I am an idiot. Others think I am hillarious. |
