A lot of women on here, including myself, keep getting those "Hey there ;)" messages all the time. It gets really old. I'm married so I have no interest in being hit on.I'm here to reach my goals and better myself. It would be awesome to see guys that are on the same journey. The ladies that I'm friends with are awesome, but it would just be nice to see a guys perspective.

    I have quite a few supportive and non flirtatious guys on my friend list. They're definitely around and are pretty awesome :)

    Guy perspective: "hey there ;)" is another way of saying hello. That's pretty much it. You might be reading into it a little too much. I personally would rather use "hey there" than "hello"

    I agree "hey there" doesnt seem creepy to me but its second only to "hi" on the lame opener scale...If you want to start a conversation put a little effort into it!..

    Methinks your problem is that the message is clearly working with some women. If they didn't, men would stop sending them! Some refusals are just an 'occupational hazard'! :wink:
