Losing followers!

People add you here with the expectation that you will add them back, but they don't communicate, they never look to have a conversation with you, it's purely voyeurism!

Then there are those who do everything they think necessary for you to add them, and you don't hear anything further! They don't even comment on your entries or photos, to build any kind of mutuality and friendliness.

Some people are shy. I know as a man i'll never message a woman first, when you do they think oh another perv and they may give you a trial run. 🙄
No, tired of that, people can message me if they want but Im not messageing anyone first, especially women.

@karysma careful, some pervs might have a wheelchair fetish

@Rayce I'm yet to met someone with a wheelchair fetish. I once met someone with an amputee fetish though. When I told him I was in a wheelchair he asked me if I'd consider getting my legs cut off. I was extremely weirded out 😂

@karysma ok...um...that is weird

Personally and for the most part, I let others add me.

It's only when I have had a lot of interaction that I might add others. And even then I have had at least six months of interaction.

This last has happened mostly with the last couple of months because my feed was dead slow without adding those that I have mentioned.

PMs I also rarely initiate.

This is especially true with women. For the most part 80% are far younger than me. I don't want to appear as being a creep. Though some may take my profile as somewhat being a creep.

At least I'm honest in my profile. With lots of stuff about me.

I have had little interaction with you at all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I suspect they follow you for the same reason, though. Their feed is dead!

Expectation can be an issue. People follow people for many different reasons. I've gained many followers over the years I've been here but I don't expect much from them considering the fact that I don't follow anybody back 😅

Very true. However ive also found that while I start conversations it isnt reciprocated to any degree. Sometimes just one word answers. It takes 2. and its only a few that we eventually keep up with.

You point is well taken and a sad truth. But i think most people are swayed and understand that is life on the internet mainly.... i am sure other sites are different ..maybe ... idont know as i dont use other sites besides this

Well as a Man i do my best to avoid any private messaging to Woman.. In this woke, Me Too western world it is way to dangerous for guys.. Only if i have read a woman posts and i think she is a noble person do i ever try a organize a private message conversation.. I think since the time being here i have only had 2 woman in a one on one conversation..

One of the woman was from India and the other one was in Africa.. So neither of them where western woman 👍 So that made me feel safer. 😊

@Aikarini Anonymous?? If it is then i have no idea why.. I never set it up like that.. I do have followers and i engaged in a conversation with someone a few days ago.. So i don't know why my profile was be set for anonymous for you???

The point of this site is to share thoughts and to respond to other peoples posts as i am doing right now... This is not a hook up site or some dating site as far as i know.. At any rate i am not interested in pursuing woman on SW.. I never came here to engage in that stuff..

So what do you believe the point of this site is? It would be interesting to find out your thinking on the issue?

I hardly even know who my followers are or who is on my friend list. I just talked to people as I come by them on the forum. Yeah there's a few that I might make a special effort to interact with but mostly I just scroll the main feed until something looks interesting
