I Just Had A Weird EP Moment

Young man, ages 22-25, whom I had never had any interaction with on the public thread just started messaging me. Because I didn't see anything pervy or offensive in his profile, I accepted his message and messaged him back. To keep this from being filtered out of the main EP homepage, I'll post the details of the interaction below.

Yeah I've posted a few of these interactions into stories (and FYI, EP hadn't edited or rejected any of them). So the guy is obviously a sad case. He is desperately gasping for some kind of interaction with someone and has no social skills.

I don't generally block anyone, but with these guys I do play up the shame card pretty heavy. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I hate that so many newer user's of EP think this place is a dating site or a hook-up app. It was so much better when it was just a place where writers came to share experiences.

I agree. I hope that more EP users will use this site for what it was intended, to share experiences, to get and give advice, and to make friends.
