I Have Something to Say

I've been added by three strangers today. No prior contact and very little on their profiles. If you are expecting to be added back try sending a message....

I don’t understand your point. I add people because they seem interesting and I want to see what they have to say. What’s wrong with that?

@MartinII so you would add them without liking or commenting first on their stories?
MartinII · 70-79, M
@Mikemcneil Usually I would comment on something they had said, but not necessarily. As I say, I don’t see what the problem is.

It's not a problem. It's the equivalent of giving a random stranger your phone number.

@Mikemcneil But why join a site like SW if you don’t want other people to show an interest in you? Let me put it this way: I am always pleased if someone adds me. It doesn’t happen very often!

If that person has never made a comment on one of my stories or posts it seems odd to me. Why not just send a simple message first?

@Mikemcneil Well, I agree there’s no harm in sending a message. But about 80% of the people I send messages to never reply!

@MartinII I wouldn't be adding those 😉
