Why is this so? 🤔

Why do some people send gifts here marked as private?

If It's marked public, would presidents of the world start wearing tutus and dance the ballet?

They might, but more importantly, they don’t want their sw girlfriend/boyfriend to see they’re scheming on someone else.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@StevetheSleeve Unhealthy relationship sounds like.
StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M
@NerdySoph Yeah, it’s kind of a stupid game people play here.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@StevetheSleeve that’s it right there

whats that got to do with the price of fish
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Matt85 When fish get upset seeing presidents wear tutus, they get expensive.

I think possibly the same reason people don't make their friends public. They don't want people to know who they're friendly with.

Must check if my friends are public 😬
SW-User
@NerdySoph I'm just guessing that some people interact with people they don't want other people to know about. Could be for various reasons.
@NerdySoph There are nosy people here. And kinds of drama can come up that you’d never imagine among adults, like someone taking a dislike to a person and hassling their friends because of it. 🙄
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@bijouxbroussard Oh. That is quite ugly. Some people really need a soul cleansing
JovialMoose · 51-55, M
Because Affair Partner #1 (who got a Paper Windmill) doesn't need to know that my Affair Partner #2 got flowers...

... and Affair Partner Number 3 got handcuffs.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@JovialMoose But i'm not anyone's affair 😂

You’re asking the important questions.

I’ve received them from those who were just private people and wanted to keep it that way. I’ve also received them from those who included my first name and knew how much I valued keeping that under wraps. And I’ve received private gifts from those who clearly had a long list of females who they made feel “special” to feed their own egos and didn’t want to lose their affections over jealousy. Would really love to see that ballet over the last group though.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@acupaday Makes sense. LOL at the ballet 😂
sodaa ·
@NerdySoph where can i send my application
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@sodaa I'll make you a deal. Get me that delicious Mang Inasal chicken with the unli rice, and i'll see what i can do :D
sodaa ·
@NerdySoph dang. i haven't eaten inasal in years. i miss it too 😭😭
Ontheroad · M
No, but when you get a private gift, there is an expectation that you will run outside in your pjs twirling a large paper bag over your head, doing a funny dance while calling out like a rooster.

But not before neighbors have had their morning coffee.

So, get busy!
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Ontheroad LOL you just gave me the perfect idea what to do before you finish your first cup of coffee in the morning. Wait for it 😂
Ontheroad · M
@NerdySoph *walks off mumbling to self... "crap, crap crap!"*
I didn’t even know there was that option…🤣
@NerdySoph I guess I haven’t gifted in a while…😅
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Haniazed Well thanks for that extremely expensive private cotton bud 😒
@NerdySoph I am generous 😌
Livingwell · 61-69, M
In the past, some people were jealous of others receiving gifts and sent nastygrams. Others wanted to keep their message private for other reasons. I'm not sure about today.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Livingwell Makes sense thank you
SW-User
It's creepy.
And I dislike that someone has to hide something like that.
I'd rather not get that gift.
SW-User
@NerdySoph cheeky
SW-User
@NerdySoph also like the song.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@SW-User Right? It's so touching
OliRos · 22-25, F
Probably...
OliRos · 22-25, F
@NerdySoph 🤗 My pleasure... which I should not admit to 😂😂😂
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@OliRos Dont worry, i will not divulge it no matter how much i am tortured and handcuffed in a chamber. 😅
OliRos · 22-25, F
@NerdySoph Ooops!
666Maggotz · F
Yeah, I never got it either. It’s a rather anonymous site, your mom won’t know if you sent someone a candy cane. Relax.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@666Maggotz Right? So true
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
Just like normal life. Would you want everyone to know your bought someone a pair of handcuffs? :P
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@NerdySoph Older men get judge to being friends with younger women here.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@JimboSaturn I see. That should never be the case. SW is an online open platform where almost all profiles are visible to each other.
If they like the stories in the profile, they should not be judged for that.
Doesnt make sense to judge them and therefore restrict them to only interact with their own age bracket .
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@NerdySoph It shouldn't be, but it is. There is a lot of judgement here.
Blondily · F
I keep mine private because its nobody's business what a friend writes to me whether its goofy, endearing or silly. For my eyes only.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Blondily I was referring to people who mark the gift as private before sending it out. Not about hiding the wall of gifts in profile.
Blondily · F
@NerdySoph Yes I know. I mark mine private too. 🙂
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
Ask them lol
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@deadgerbil How's the sweating? Is it better? How was your thanksgiving?
Can’t let the other girlies I’m tuning see me tune the other girlies..

C’mon man

@dirge That's a good explanation, thank you :)
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
All presidents should take up ballet 😌
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@SunshineGirl That would actually be nice 😄
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
Because petty stalkers can't keep their big noses out, even of something that's supposed to be meaningful to someone else and isn't supposed to be a statement to anyone other than them?
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@PhilDeep So they might have stalkers that would give them hell for giving a digital virtual gift? What an odd place earth is.
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
@NerdySoph Exactly.
cerealguy · 26-30, M
I ain't takin no dang risks gurl

Imagine ut

Imagine Biden in a Tutu.... next to Trump, Obama, Kim Jong Un, and Putin

Oh no

Oh very no
TexChik · F
Some people are weird. 🤷🏻‍♀️
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@TexChik Like me 😅
TexChik · F
@NerdySoph The other kind of weird. 😉
DDonde · 31-35, M
If it's private, then you're not the only recipient
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@DDonde I was really hoping it would be the reason i stated in the post story :D
Gangstress · 41-45, F
Snidey lil scoundrels
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Gangstress Right? It confuses me. Are they embarassed that they sent me a gift?

Or am i so disliked, and they dont want others to know they dont share the same dislike for me?
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@NerdySoph i reckon
None of the above
Theyve probably sent the same gift to a load of women lol
I got one the other day. And im like youre 18-21 youve got nothing in common with me
Just weird
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@Gangstress Thanks .. i'll go with they're weird 😅
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
As a few mentioned, it’s to hide romantic relationships.
NerdySoph · 26-30, F
@iamonfire696 It's not a blessing, it's a curse to be abnormal this way. It cost me a very dear relationship before.

And when i am genuinely happy about other's achievements or things they have, sometimes they think i am beng fake about it because i am supposed to feel jealous, not happy.

It's really difficult. So dont be jealous of it lol. It's a curse.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@NerdySoph I am so sorry it cost you a relationship. I wish people were emotionally mature enough to realize that people can be happy for others and not be jealous though.
@NerdySoph That sounds like they have the problem, not you. Especially among friends; true friends are happy when good things happen for each other.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Oh, it would be the end of the world, lol.
