It depends on the caliper of the conversation, whether it be platonic and friendly, or supportive and counseling, or distant and affable.
It also depends of the peopl them selves, how they present them selves to me.
Take you, for instance:... in all honesty,, with no equivications, nor trying to seem forward or flirtatious,.. an online corresponding with a person of your spirit and soul, or your caliber, you heart, and mind has encouraged me to focus on you and you alone.
Most of the other people; be they male or female; young or old, I would invest as much attention, time and energy in to them, bas I think they may have invested into me

But not so whith a person that posseses a vocabulary and a wit and a wisdon and an intellect as youra
You are, different, you are unique, you are refreshing, and emotional and and passionate, and compassionate, and real and raw, and I do cherish what few, fleeting, ever so distant correspondences we may share.
Thank you Carrissimmi for being my friend.
Every your friend, G.
(P.S. I'm still planning on building me a hippiemobile, and I when I finish it I'ma come and see you, maybe get a cup of coffee.)

On the flip side (I am female), I prefer the attention of one at a time...rarely two. If I get a sense that someone is juggling several conversations simultaneously I usually find a way to opt out. It's their choice of course but I don't have to participate :)

Don't really know. My conversations with others are sporadic, so this really hasn't been a situation I've had to deal with.

A good question. My conversations with women seem to ebb and flow depending on moods and circumstances. I am comfortable with maybe 6 at this time. It does depend on the nature of the conversation. If the woman is having a crisis of some sort then the conversations take more time and greater emotional energy. I have not gotten into cybersex so I cannot comment on how that would affect how many I could handle.
Can I become attached? Oh yeah but that also can ebb and flow. It is part of my nature to seek deeper friendship whether online or IRL.

I like talking with many. And yes it's possible that an attraction can be made whenever you talk about things that aren't generally or openly shared with most other people. It can make you feel special that something personal has been shared with you and entrusted to you. And feelings can development.

i dont talk to hardly anyone. not one of these player types that men and women have become

There are very few people here who I pm and I'm not here to hook up with anyone.

No more than 3. I currently converse with 2 women (for 5 years now). Because these women are so vastly different (personalities, family life, geographical location and such), I'm able to keep up with both fairly evenly. I've tried 3, but it wants to get confusing (who did I tell what to, who doesn't want to hear what and such).
Yes, I have become more "attached" to one of them (as do all people), but I don't treat them any differently because of it.

One at a time is more than enough.

This is a great question 😊

I've had convos on here with 3 different women at the same time and it was fun. It wasn't dragging, they were all about different subjects, but one definitely felt like she was phishing for info so I cut it off.

Three. Do I get attached to one more than the others? Yes of course I have my favorites.

Usually four. After that conversations can get confusing.

As many as would reciprocate.

One at a time.

Great question C.
🤐 I have a cynical view on this..

I talk with men on here as well. Intelligent conversation is a great thing to have

One's too many and a hundred ain't enough!

I'm not big on PM and I'm a terrible multitasker...😂😂😂
