Tbh, I think the creepiest thing I have seen recently is a grown man asking what a bunch of women call their period.10

Sorry to burst your bubble, I saw it a few times too. I was crushed because my message was not as creative, he got longer and more creative as he went.1 -

Women who use an actual photo of themselves tend to get more. Probably because of the ‘everyone is a dude on the internet’ rule.
I got quite a few messages and FRs after I posted in the velfie thread. Maybe women who don’t shower or wear deo seem more approachable.
But I have noticed and others have said it too that if you post any kind of selfie, it’s like a siren.
I’ve seen several methods. The straight up ‘hey send me nudes’
or the outright compliments paired with an offer to talk suggestively. I lump those together because the motive is transparent. But there was one guy who wrote when I was fairly new and he was extremely friendly and flirtatious even after I said I was married and stuff. I found out later that he does it to every new girl and he scores a lot of nudes that way. So charm is the second way.
I have posted in the selfie thread. I've even posted cleavage shots back in the day. I honestly don't remember getting any extra creepy messages because of this. I am not a ten but I would't say I'm a zero either. Lets just face it, I've seen low 3's complaining about it and I'd say I rate in there somewhere. So, this leads me to my original question...how come some people get them and others don't?
I’m no ten either and I tend to post some really unflattering things about myself so that part is a mystery to me.
But like @RunHardBeStrong said, I think forum flirtiness is misread. I can be outrageous in the forums but it’s a joke, not who I really am.
I am not saying this is about you at all but.... do you think some of the creeps are targeting women that may seem a little more....how can I say it without sounding mean, since that isn't my intention...but maybe women who might not be getting attention IRL?
Some women here may not be getting and attention in rl but Im sure plenty do so I don't think creeps sniff out their neediness.
Same goes for flirting , it doesn't denote you aren't getting attention at home either.3 -

Ding ding....these broads get no attention at home and seek it here
well i'm sure this is the case for some, but I'm talking about those who are not overtly seeking attention here but say they receive a bunch of creepy messages. Are the creeps targeting them because the creeps think these women must be "wanting" attention or easy targets.
I think the creeps send the same message to 20 random ladies, no rhyme or reason other than they may have been on forums at a similar time.
They may get one or two bites.. I don't think it really matters as they tend to delete a few hours later.. they show up again in a week or two with a new profile and do it again.2 -
Man, I picked the wrong day to be busy at work. This looked like a good one.0
