    Well there is already a flirting thread, so for me I can say that encouragement and support are great. And ya maybe a "hey there" may be added!! Haha

    I have a boyfriend and I had to mention him on my newsfeed a couple of times before those messages stopped.....and I still get them from time to time.

    I'm married. I still send messages to men and women alike just t make friends. So, If I say "Hi", it's me being nice. Not creepy. Thanks to all the other guys for ruining salutations for us normal people.

    I didn't mean to sound stuck up in my original post. I have no problem with guys messaging me. I enjoy talking to people I just don't care for guys talking suggestively to me.

    A guy here who would like to have men and women friends to have different perspectives and help with motivation. Not a good flirt.

    Way to keep a low profile. How many dick pics did you get from this? Better to say no to a few unsolicited proposals. If they are too persistent after politely declining just get weird. It works.

    Explain the getting weird please. I got another message this morning from one of the weirdos.

    Imagine a beautiful, loving supportive relationship existed between a women and a man who met on MFP. You know, the dreamy kind of relationship that nearly everyone imagines is possible and and is interested in being a part of.

    Somewhere there was a suggestion. It was an emoji, then a 'hi' then a "hey there"....and on and on and on....then someone implied/suggested cultivating a relationships.

    In this scenario, in this dreamy relationship, which suggestion seems more probable "let's cultivate a relationship" or "meow, you're hot stuff"

    Where between creepy animal mating, and pious non-romantic cultural arranged marriages, is the fine line that is acceptable.

    And MOST importantly, is that fine line the same for all women on MFP? Is it the same for all men on MFP? Clearly not.

    So speak for yourself (I don't mean that in the nasty insulting way) but speak for yourself because what you like and want is all your own, and what someone else likes and wants is all there own. We're all adults here.

    In my profile picture I have more covered than most people a the beach. My boobs and butt aren't hanging out. The only thing showing is my abdominal region. It isn't a drool worthy picture. I've never been considered a head turner, but the reactions to my picture are humorous. If my stomach is considered provocative then I'll take that as a compliment. You guys have put a smile on my face and given me a confidence boost

    I am an old fart, but still alive. I am a flirt, but try to use it in humor. I try my best to be supportive and will compliment looks and effort. I don't expect to meet up with any of you, but would have coffee if asked. We all need to have fun in this journey we are on. I don't think I have been disrespectful. If you look good, if you look sexy, I am going to say it.. I hope that makes sense

    You look good! I just find it amusing that someone who apparently doesn't want attention would post that picture. The safest bet for less attention is no pic, or a generic stock image. Either change your image, or ignore any messages you recieve. Problem solved.

    I agree with this post. Even when you have " in a relationship" in the about me section and post that you don't reply to messages, you still get guys trying to talk. I don't wanna talk to you all in private.

    I can see your point, I've always found getting hit on or hitting on people online just plain creepy. That being said I've sent a number of messages of to females similar to that, believe me that I'm simply being friendly and not trying to hook up. The likelihood of meeting or coming across another user from MFP in real life is massively slim, so I don't see how an innocent emoticon wink can be perceived as being hit on because that is what it comes down to no ;) and its just someone saying hi. I have no doubts that there are guys who try there luck on here or other forums but I imagine they are a lot more forward that "Hey there? ;) " I'm sure things would be in the other hand if you were ignored by the community, males and females alike did not compliment each other on achieving goals and progress, message each other with words of motivation and praise. I guess you can't please everyone.
    Never really thought to much of it, emoticons are just colloquial language, I use them so commonly when messaging friends they slip into messages online.
