Site Etiquette

Hey, some advice please. What is the best way to approach someone on here.
I have had a few people follow me with no previous interaction, and then no further contact - am I supposed to DM them?
I have had a couple of random DMs, which I have to admit it was nice to get a message.

Is there a preferred way, or do you reply on people saying on their profile what they prefer?

There are no site etiquettes to adhere to or follow. Each on their own and either respected or admonished by another. You are free to DM anyone of your choice.

You can search for people or select from their post or their response. Since you are not a VIP member, you may not know whether the other has read your message. Generally women are spammed with messages so most ignore DMs. You can send gifts with coins you have and you get to know when they unwrap the gift.

Hope this helps.

If someone interacts with my posts whether by just hearting something or actually commenting then I add them to the list of people I follow. If they comment then I usually heart their comment so that they can see I noticed it and also reply if it seems that a reply is needed.

Once in a while I'll send a direct message to someone but usually only after having had several public conversations with them.

@ninalanyon Thank you for that Nina. Worth considering

I usually only talk to people who have interacted with me on public posts
aloneinUK · 51-55, M
@DeadSophie That makes sense

I rather have people talk to me in the public forum

If they want to talk to me about something more private. They can message me, but if they bring up anykind of sex chat. I just ignore them.

I don't have time to be bothered with that junk.

@HumanEarth Thanks for that. Makes a lot of sense

They are generally a tolerant and informal lot on here. It's easy to see who you are dealing with from their groups and posts.

@OldMan70 Thanks for your comment
I quit with all that, I dunno why anyone bothers to follow anyone and then never really interacts with them. maybe it gains you some kinda sw rep points or something, but I pretty much just remove any followers.
@stound I think it’s like stamp collecting.
@sunriselover that might align more. or maybe like comic books, stick em in plastic bags with cardboard and in a box.

I'll usually have had to talk to someone for quite a while before adding them. On mine or their posts, in the comments.

I'd prefer not to dm, but that's just me. Welcome to this place by the way, and good luck

@caPnAhab Thanks for your comment, and the welcome

Ask them how their anus is doing today.

@CestManan oh well not so big then 😏
CestManan · 46-50, F
@Dacrowman AWP I see what you did there, good one. 😁

@CestManan I've heard there are rings around Uranus.

No etiquette. Some people prefer that you interact with them in post before an add. I just add people I find interesting. If someone adds you I’d definitely send a message. Just a hi is ok.
There is no etiquette.
There are some people who will add you, when they have never interacted on your posts and will never show up on either posts or DMs.
There are some who will DM you but not add you or get on your posts.

Anyway to cut a long story short, there is no rule and consistency. If you feel like you want to DM someone, do it, be yourself. There are many people who will not respond to DM's though, so don't take it personally either.

@thinkingoutloud Thank you for your comment. That is human nature I guess, and makes sense.
Yes, the strange ones, just say, hi, from nowhere. You look at their profiles and there is nothing.

The oddest one sent me a gift within ten minutes of me joining. Then bemoaned I did not thank her.
Later in the week she blocked me.

A couple objected to my looking at their posts. That’s weird.

I tend to reply to posts, I see.
aloneinUK · 51-55, M
@sunriselover I guess it takes allsorts
@aloneinUK I’ve had a quick flick at the replies you have had. All are genuine I think, except for one guy posing as a woman! Watch out for those.
aloneinUK · 51-55, M
@sunriselover Yes, I gathered that might be the case. I will keep an eye out

What is a DM
I have been on this site since 2016
Richard65 · M
@sally1981 direct message. Instead of a comment like this, I'd go to your message facility on your profile and send you a direct message.
@sally1981 I always say PM me ie personal message

I think it varies for most people. The common theme for the majority (it seems) is to start off by interacting on posts. This allows others to get a feel for your personality & interests.

Keep in mind that there's a ton of creeps & pervs on here that have nothing better to do than antagonize others.
aloneinUK · 51-55, M
@Keeper Thank you for your comment. And no kidding about those here to antagonize others.

I think "may I DM you" in a comment isn't the worst call. If they don't respond then you don't DM.
aloneinUK · 51-55, M
@Ynotisay Can't argue with that logic

wait....i'm on it...

According to my calculations......usually by crawling on your stomach in the tall grass at the waterhole
rrraksamam · 31-35, M
I don't usually interact with people unless there's reason to.
aloneinUK · 51-55, M
@rrraksamam That makes sense. Forced interaction is just painful
rrraksamam · 31-35, M
@aloneinUK Yeah. I can tell when people don't want to talk to me. I just leave them alone.

I only talk to people who want to talk to me.
