Why reveal my secrets to success? 🙂

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@splendid I guess it’s not “hi”

splendid · 41-45, M

I love your sense of humor!

I'll share this much. Sincerity, civility, and fun go a long, long way. I love to PM others. Best way to make new friends, in my opinion.

I hear "hi" with a lowercase h is a popular line for meeting people.

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@Teirdalin do you get a lot of response from ‘hi’? I usually ignore those. Sometimes I say hi back but then regret it

Teirdalin · 31-35

@Fallflower Never tried. xD SW eats enough of my time without talking to random people. lol

@Celine I'm so glad you never PM'd me randomly with that.

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@Celine that’ll do it

@Celine Hahaha...I bet that gets a rise from some of them. Yes the pun was intended...lol.

"Kitten Pic!"
followed by some random internet picture of a cat

@SW-User you get blocked for sending cute kitty pics or for doing something truly annoying?

SW-User

@Fallflower Well, back when PMs arrived I started sending kitten pics to random people...nothing more and nothing less...many blocked me just for that...guess some came for the perversion only...🤔

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@SW-User That’s interesting.

I don't PM others but I hate it when SW members just say "hi". How are we supposed to form a conversation from that?

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@goagainsttheflow agreed. I have tried to give the hi a chance. I have. It’s just not worth it.

StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M

Hi, I don't message people often but you just seem so interesting I wanted to say hi. I understand if you don't respond. There are so many creeps on here I'm sure someone as attractive as you must deal with them constantly. Anyway, have a great day, no matter the color of the panties you're currently wearing. Pink, right?

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@StevetheSleeve that reminds me of the movie airplane. Where the girl is like... ohh, I’ve never done this before, but I don’t want to die a virgin... and there’s a line waiting to be next

StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M

@Fallflower Lol. I can see that now.

76starships · 46-50, M

I don't randomly pm anyone. If I reach out that way it is because I have a question, or would like to elaborate on a comment in a message thread, but not have it public.

I ask the question right away. "I saw your story on X, and ??"

Usually that works. Because I show I'm interested in conversation and I'm not looking for someone to bother, solicit or gross out.

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@76starships that would work on me I think

PaleandPolluted · 36-40, F

I rarely message first

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@PaleandPolluted well then this question doesn’t really apply to you... but is there something you WILL respond to?

PaleandPolluted · 36-40, F

@Fallflower perhaps when someone says something more than hi how are you.... they added something extra

Fallflower · 46-50, F

@PaleandPolluted yeah I guess me too. Sometimes I don’t answer and then 2 months later I get the exact same message 😂 like copy and paste. It kinda ruins the whole effect.

I never understood the random PM. I guess those who send them are either sending outs tons and hoping at least a few will bite or are targeting specific individuals for who knows what...
