    Usually its a post of theirs that I like, combined with a quick *stalking* of their page to see if it seems like we would get along- if that checks out I send a FR :smile:

    I have a social anti-anxiety disorder (Yes I made that up). The same thing that compels me to approach strangers in public just to talk about whatever causes me to do the same on PMs.

    You know you have a problem when old ladies make up excuses to get off the phone with you ;)

    Is that why your puppy looks so depressed?

    Three reasons for me.

    1. I saw something they said in a forum post that made me want to reply, but it may not have been suitable for the public forum

    2. I saw something they said in a forum post or friend's wall, and wanted to reply and share a personal story if they were struggling with something, and I didn't want to detract from the thread

    3. I have an opening in my basement that needs to be filled, and I have to lure them to a place where we can be alone.
    I thought I was the only one in your basement!

    Hmm. I always thought I recognized you.

    I usually send a rondom message from a post that I have seen. Sometimes from a photo. There really is no rhyme or reason to what I do... I just kinda happens.

    They're funny and I want to crack a joke without filling the thread with "quoted" comments or I feel like we could be pretty good friends.

    Because they're afraid their FR will get declined... so instead they send you a creepy PM asking "what are you wearing right now?" lmao.... or even better, ask for pics of your feet.

    I don't send PMs to strangers often, but when I do it's because they have said something interesting.

    Wait, all these PMs are because of boobs?! But they all said it was because of my sparkling personality :sad: :cry:
