So it's not Kik anymore? Man, I need to get back in the game.4 -
Wow you guys are mixed bag of responses. I mistook someone's intentions from another social site not MFP and was shocked when I opened my phone - this was a first for me. They lady who says she's a grown woman - very cute...and immature. Anyone who wants to take the warning from me - take it. If you don't need or want my warning, then don't take it. For those women out there sending nudes - it is people like you who perpetuate this type of behavior. I don't ever need to bring someone over on my snap again, period. There are predators and just plain crude and sick people out there. For those of you who were offended by my post - my intention was not to offend, but instead to provide help. They want to get you on another app so that they don't get reported on the apps they need to use where there could be proof and they could lose their privilege. Lesson learned. Over and out.14

Immature? How so? I am 32. Not naive anymore.5 -
My first thought here was that "isn't that common knowledge by now", and then I realized how incredibly disgusting it is that that was my first thought..
me too! It's a shame but as soon as a guy starts requesting pics or whatever I delete them. The guys I have on my feed now are focused on health, exercise and weight loss/gain.
Just delete at the first hint of inappropriateness.2 -
Thankfully, I've never had that experience, and I hope I never will. Sorry you had to go through that. I really don't understand what goes in these people's minds. They surely know that it almost never ends well. Is it a form of trolling? Control? Why do people do this?2

I've quit trying to figure out why some people do what they do with technology. Surely it must have some motivation for them, why I will never know. But in this day and age it seems easy for people to play their games, and even those wary of such things might get fooled now and then. But then again, some people can be just as fake in real life.
Nothing wrong with the OP posting a warning for those that haven't experienced it. But the responses seem to indicate that the creepy/weird/inappropriate actions of a few will cause them to lump large groups together. It's just as sad that those people are likely to miss out on the real and fun people within that group.2
