    Usually it's because I have something I wish to say to them.

    This.

    Something they said made me laugh, or I wanted to ask something and didn't want to derail their thread, or I had a flash of brilliance and felt the need to reach out and share.

    Spur of the moment "let's see what happens" type of thing. Why not?

    Because I think they might be well hung.

    My large breasts like similarly well endowed men.

    Usually it's because I have something I wish to say to them. Since I don't have their phone number or e-mail address, it is very difficult to reach out to them in a more traditional manner of communication. Obviously letters are a bit outmoded to say nothing of telegraph and homing pigeon. Usually people are too geographically dispersed on this website for my favorite media, two campbells soup cans and a string.

    So I rely on sending a PM.

    I will send PMs when someone says something particularly awesome and I think a reply to it on the thread will get lost.

    I got the most stranger PMs when I said something about wanting help taking off my pants. Who knew?

    I agree and if you need help with taking off pants, I volunteer.

    I have to stand by my prior decision... I hate this show. Even the gif brings back feelings of angst at having to have watched two episodes of it this weekend. Screw You Adventure People!

    If I feel they can motivate me to keep on track or can be a good influence on me.

    Whether they are a male who seems to know what they are doing, or a female who can provide me eye candy and that kind of motivation.. lol. Also, boobs.

    But that was in the past, now I try to do it on my ownnnnnnnnnnnn

    I don't send PMs to strangers. I wait for them to send them to me.

    Did you forget about the junk pic you sent me the other day?

    If they're into things that I'm into... Typically things from the sci/fi world.

    You have me confused with someone else. I have never sent a junk pic to a stranger.

    I have sent them when I think they have said something incredibly brilliant or funny in the forums, or if I feel that they need some encouragement. I have also sent them if I see their picture and read their story and feel they have worked hard to get where they are, I sent them a note expressing my respect.

    Or if they have a profile pic of a beautiful German Shepard, thats my heart.

    Pfffffft! Telepathy or GTFO. Empathicity anyone?
