Attract you

What attract you the most here on SW?

I mean why do you message others ? What comes to your mind

Like @SW-User I rarely take the first step and send a message to someone I don't already know. Once in a while I will respond to a post privately because I have something to say that might not be suitable for the rest of the participants in the conversation but mostly I send messages in response to messages received.

Very often what comes to mind when I send a message is something like this:[i]why on earth did x send me a message that just said hi[/i]?

Several otherwise pleasant people here seem unable to get to grips with the idea that this is a very asynchronous communications medium, if we are to get very much said we must speak at the same time not wait for a reply that might arrive within seconds or take a week.

So if you do for whatever strange reason decide to send me a message, please say what is on your mind in addition to hi.

I have a push-me pull-you social pattern. And Covid-19 has interfered with my normal practices.

FB has become increasingly more bizarre and I think Zuckerman is losing his mind (and advertisers), and that he is restricting that program to the point it is becoming abusive to its' users.

I need to be in contact with other people but I often need to be alone as people are difficult for me, at best. I am dealing with a progressively more difficult life.

SW, like EP before it, gives me enough control to be satisfying.

@FlowersNButterflies that's true and it depends on us how we use the features of sites.

I don't message anyone. I answer questions because it's like eating popcorn.

Good hygiene and not being objectified

I don’t message, but I reply to the messages of people I know. I like posting and helping in any way I can when someone asks for it. I like interacting with a few people I know over the posts. There are a lot of great individuals here.

I like to answer the questions mostly. It’s background noise while I’m doing things.
Interestingguy · 36-40, M
@Keepitsimple good and I don't mind to message others but the conversation must be healthy and respectful

I don’t message people but I’ll reply if they are decent. @Interestingguy

Honesty coupled with a common interest is all it takes.

Since I have a very wide number of interests it's not really hard. Yet saying just "Hello" is not a common interest!

I don't bother with any that just say "Hello".
