Iv had this in the past "have you got facebook or another messaging service?" I'm like what's wrong with MFP, we are chatting right now?
And they be like "oh y'know, it would be quicker to msg each other and easier to stay in touch"
This is after exchanging a few pms, why the F would I start giving out my mobile phone number or FACEBOOK to a random stranger just cos he says that he also wants to drop a few pounds? And why does this random person want to cheer me on soooooo much in my weight loss journey that they actually need my home phone number? Actually weird people out there.
Indeed! I think men/women need to both be more respectful of not being too scandalous. You can be cordial without being creepy. Some people (me) have delicate sensibilities and what could be nice discourse leaves one feeling gross. I shouldn't have to become a hard person just to get through life.
I think these people arnt intrested in being cordial it's like they have thier fishing rod out and just keep sending messages hoping to get a catch and send thier weener pics.

Hahahaha so is that how it works? Gross. Lol1 -
Post terrifyingly hilarious photos like mine and that becomes way less of a problem, lol.1

I'm almost 40. So no. But new to this site, the community part anyway. Just really interesting to observe.You're an attractive woman on the internet. It just doesn't matter. Kinda like when you try to explain to British guys that they are 100% in with that accent...no matter which particular British accent it is. Doesn't matter.
Haha my son has a British accent. He's turning 18 and I'm scared lol. They're already coming out of the wood work.0 -

Oh same! Not the phone number thing, although there's a few who have it. Once they realize I'm bored with their obvious attempts at flirting immediately in PMs, poof....they delete. It's happened so often that I even forget who they were and never realize they're gone.
Same here. I think they’re doing me a favor by deleting themselves from my friend list.1 -

because its easier for someone to hide behind a avatar and a screen name and type things out rather than approach and get shot down
That's really sad, I'd like to get to know people.

Interesting thread...I'm not sure how I actually feel about it though. I believe harassment is wrong no matter what the individual's avatar is just to put that out there. The problem I see though is that the lines are blurred, even in this thread, as to what is humorous, light-hearted flirting and what is more than that. Logically I think everyone in this thread specifically gets it and folks are bantering in the spirit of the OP's intent...but imagine a keyboard warrior or resident of Troll Town seeing some of the folks here "complaining" they DON'T get this kind of attention...
Serious question, did you get friend requests from people after posting here? And were those people folks that had commented on this thread or people that obviously just read it and thought they were doing you a favor with the add request?
People fascinate me endlessly...and for the record, the folks in this thread are all good folks from what I can tell based on the many threads I've seen you all comment on.
So I just wonder what kind of decision tree the others use and particularly the ones that go inappropriate quickly...what's the goal? Pics??? Do they really not realize they can satisfy any need they may have on many free sites? "Conquest"? To what end?
So often I just walk away and mutter "smh"...it's a whole separate study of sociology and group dynamics...but I'm too old for all that. I'll just continue to be amused from a distance.
And last question - Does "Hey baby! What's your sign?" still work...??? 😉6 -
The really crafty ones will seem platonic for a time then the conversation takes a turn. And they'll ask before sending D's... Cause they're conscientious like that. The whole nice guy facade. Goes well with attempts to convince women that they're the only one they interact with in this way.5

That's good! Literally no women have friended me, so that's why I think it's weird.
I'd add you but you might not like my flirting
I also flirt relentlessly with my friends, no regard to gender.....
Ditto. I’m pretty sure have made a few gals uncomfortable
Haha this is why we are friends. *butt slap *1 -
See, I’m a mean person, sometimes. If someone sends me unsolicited pics. I will google grandma boobs and send them back. I have also sent back pictures of other dudes junk(always bigger of course) and tell them that I “haven’t had the surgery yet. It’s so nice to meet an open minded man.” They pretty much leave me along after that. Put a little scare into them. 😂😂😂12

Had a random send me junk pics on FB messenger even though we weren't friends. So I creeped his profile, found his mom and forwarded his message to her asking if she knew what kind of creep her son was?
Sorry, not sorry.9 -

Yes! Great minds think alike. Teach the creep a lesson.0 -
Crude messages do not bother me. Sometimes I’ll even entertain if I’m bored. You can’t send pics on MFP so if you agree to go to another app where you can exchange pics, it’s your own call so don’t be surprised when you do get nekkid pics. But it’s the internet, so you have a delete, unfriend, and block button. Be wise.1

Can you not imbed them anymore? That's how I received a photo of a man with only a towel hanging off his junk

I think the bigger problem is not being able to send messages to random people anymore. Now only my friends get to see my junk.....:)3 -
