That is a question only a person who is uncomfortable socially would ask. To everyone else....to just strike up a conversation is a normal way to meet people.
SW-User
@anythingoes477 :) Thank you. That is really nice of you.
@SW-User Remember me.....for sometime when your head is in a better place.

The easiest way to answer that is: People feel entitled.

Especially online.
SW-User
@LucyFuhr Haha yeah. I was in a bad mood and it got to me, that attitude. I am zen now. 😂
LucyFuhr · 56-60, F
@SW-User Boy does that "sh*t" have a way of getting under your skin though, huh? LOL I totally get it.

Good for you on the Zen though...🙌
SW-User
@LucyFuhr 😁💙
TexChik · F
That’s the point of this site ... to get people to interact🤷🏻‍♀️
SW-User
@TexChik Interact in the open. Do not block when someone chooses not to respond to your personal questions.
TexChik · F
@SW-User they just helped you customize your SW experience by removing their ignorance from your perception . 👍🏻😁
SW-User
@TexChik 😂 Yeah. I could see that interaction being a nuisance further on.

I don't know but it can make me wonder about the site as a whole ,had two people inbox me after hearting a couple of my posts. I'll talk to pretty much anyone ,but after like 2 messages i get ,ok give me your email ,your phone number ,just so we can stay connected .When i responded i'm not comfortable with that ,blocked at least it saved me a block .But it's obvious they wanted something other than casual conversation.
SW-User
@kodiac Yeah, definitely. That's just rather bizarre, for anyone to force that information out of you.
kodiac · 22-25, M
@SW-User I think it's probably a lot worse for the women here sadly.
TheGoodGuy · M
"It's just the internet" mentality, coupled with lack of respect.
SW-User
@TheGoodGuy yeah. Caught me at a bad time. 😂
TheGoodGuy · M
@SW-User Lol. It's funny how we can react to the same thing in a completely different way depending on our mood at the time 👀
SW-User
@TheGoodGuy indeed.
Magenta · F
Exactly. The equivalent of barging through your front door. Exhausting!
SW-User
@Magenta Yep! My rule is if I won't do something in real, I won't do it here.
BryanSunshine · 51-55, M
Would you say that men do this more than women?

As a man, I have no problem cold PM’ing another man and asking personal questions. But I will never PM a woman unless she does first.
BryanSunshine · 51-55, M
I agree that women are just as *capable*. But being capable and actually doing it are two different things

I’m just curious if, in your experience, if it is men or women who most often send you unwanted private messages asking personal questions.

Totally cool if you don’t want to answer.

As for me, lots of guys assume that because i am willing to discuss and talk about sex with my wife, that I’m probably willing to share naked pics of her too. I’m not. But I get a fair number of people asking, and some even get mad when I tell them no.

So far, the only unsolicited PM’s I’ve received from women on this site have been to apologize for potentially being rude!

So yeah, I see a huge difference between the two genders in terms of type and quantity of pm’s. And I’m a man. I’m not bashing other men. I’m just sharing my experience.
SW-User
@BryanSunshine I don't often get such messages. But so far its 5:1 men : women.
BryanSunshine · 51-55, M
Ok yeah, that’s about what I would expect
xixgun · M
I may ask a question, but I don't feel entitled to pretty much anything.
xixgun · M
@SW-User TSK! You just shot my street cred right in the ass!
SW-User
@xixgun 😂😂 Faine. You're a bad boy who knows how to be a gentleman with the women.

Now you sound mafioso.
SW-User
@xixgun 😍 Thank you! The sparkly made a difference.
Medioman · 51-55, M
I rarely do that. But when someone PMs me I reply, unless I am asked for money
SW-User
@Medioman People ask you for money regularly? I hope you do not give anyone money.
Medioman · 51-55, M
@SW-User No, not regularly. But it happened. And I'd NEVER give money online.
SW-User
@Medioman Good.
I guess the same comfortable I have not answering any inbox message I get
SW-User
@Marta Lol do you not get bothered by that orange box?
@SW-User no not at all I do look at messages but it's very rare for me to reply I just don't want to chat to some lonely soul if they feel like that they should buy a puppy or kitten
SW-User
@Marta Lol. Yeah I have a very small number of people I interact with. But when someone comes with a ridiculous qn I forget to ignore.
Rokasu · 36-40, M
I only asked if you wanted more curry. Sheesh aido.
SW-User
@Rokasu Bites your finger. Oops.
Rokasu · 36-40, M
@SW-User Damn girl you drew blood. Chewing your food like a damn herbivore.
SW-User
@Rokasu 😂😂 I'll have you know I chew my food like a carnivore!
Elegy · 46-50
I think most of those people tend to not have any interpersonal skills, lack couth or have been rewarded for poor behavior before, encouraging them to continue.
SW-User
@Elegy Sigh. Lol 🙈
SaulGoodman · 26-30, M
You're just so great. We all gotta have a piece
SW-User
@SaulGoodman 😂 Hahaha. Can't tell if this is sarcasm but I laughed.
SaulGoodman · 26-30, M
@SW-User why would it be sarcastic? Lol people get mad if you don't respond how they want cause you're the type to be thought about
SW-User
Wishingwellguy · 46-50, M
The nature of online chat
SW-User
SW-User
They’re just gambling
SW-User
@SW-User Lol. I guess.

Carver · 31-35, F
Lack of respect, sense of entitlement, thinking with their genitals.
Magenta · F
@SW-User
It annoys the fuck outta me.
Ditto.

@Magenta 😂

@SW-User 😅
LyricalOne · F
Anonymity and limited amounts of brain matter. Plus being really small if they can jump into inboxes. I always leave a piece of my ass hanging out. 🤔
SW-User
@LyricalOne 😂 Wuuut! Where is your ass hanging right now? Lol
BryanSunshine · 51-55, M
im curios what “leave A piece of my ass hanging out” means. Legit question! Not being a troll. I assume it’s an expression and not literal? But if so, what does it mean?
