    Don't send a DM when you could have made the same comment on my feed. Ex: person sees pic and dives into DM just to say how "great" the pic is as though they are afraid for someone to see what they have to say.
    Yes

    Haha, to whomever disagreed... It's true. I REALLY hate snapchat. Lol

    I've given the benefit of the doubt a few times, and yeah... Nope.

    I reserve DM's for conversations that are too long or specific for a post or feed comment. Ex: discussion about tens unit recommendation and where to buy it. Or the ingredients/prep of my lunch bowl (ground turkey, broccoli, onion, tomato, and brown rice).

    My rule:

    If you feel like sending a woman a message here because you think she wants to hear from you, she probably doesn't.

    And that's the truth right there! Amen

    messages require too much of a commitment. you'll expect a reply and then I feel bad if I don't reply, and then you'll reply back and expect ANOTHER reply and really. its too much. LOL

    I don't even like TEXTING

    *kitten* I'm old.

    in all (other) honesty though... I don't care if people have a (legitimate) question and send a DM asking. I feel I post enough and have enough on my profile that people can get a feel for me or get to know me that way.

    I had a guy who had sent me a message after we became 'friends' and wanted to know about me. dude its all on my profile. married, happy. live on a farm. in Virginia. what more do you want to know? kept asking me what I was here for, or what I wanted from him as a friend. now, it could have been innocent but felt like he was fishing.

    he's no longer my friend.

    and that's how I deal with that LOL

    the most important thing is to be respectful

    also whatever happened to that guy who used to message all the girls asking if they wanted to kick him in the *kitten* and stuff?

    I’ve heard that he’s still around occasionally

    Don’t be a creep. Send encouragement if you are sincere. Words of encouragement are so powerful. People honestly need so little affirmation to help get through some of the darkest of times. Maybe a person needs that, or a laugh. I’m always open to send and receive if it’s coming from a place of sincerity. Who knows the power it might have. If the person doesn’t respond back don’t take offense, move on and know you might have helped.

    All of that can be done with a post or comment on the profile. If this is your sincere intention then a DM is completely unnecessary.
    Could be. Unless the person sending doesn’t want things out in the Open. All depends on the person. Good call GymGoddessGoals

    I think I've gotten to old to DM. I'm not interesting and I don't play along with the flirt/recipe exchanging game. Booooorrrringg.

    Do not initiate or fall for the "If I was there right now" scenario

    make no effort whatsoever to remember their name and just give them a nickname instead because lets be honest a fake name is good enough sometimes anyhow

    sometimes?

    For what it's worth... I've done that before (not sure if to you or not, just speaking generally) with exactly ZERO intent/inferences "between the lines". I did mean it as only a simple compliment. I've since stopped though, because interweb.

    Would be nice if someone sent me a message... I think I count on one hand and divide by 2 the number of messages I have ever received. :smiley::wink: :neutral::flowerforyou:

    Good Morning, Hot Stuff
    Do you want to dance?

    Sadly, the number of negative experiences that many experience has outweighed the number of positive, that unfortunately the worst is often assumed. :(
