How do you feel about receiving unsolicited messages, and what do you do about them?

I enjoy the messages if they sincere and kind. If the messages are very well written even better. Even a first message can be very meaningful and memorable.

I try to look at it this way: Every friend I have is someone I had to meet for the first time at some point.

It’s not unsolicited messages that distress me and it’s not even messages from fetishists or from would-be cyber ‘lovers’, although that is distasteful. When I tell them to go away, they nearly always do.

The ones that infuriate me are the fetishists who approach me with some kind of sob story and claim they are in the midst of some tragedy and just need someone to talk to. Sooner or later they try to work the conversation around to their real purpose, which is cheap thrills at my expense. Meanwhile, I have wasted empathy and energy on a sleazy deceitful leech.

I rarely get unsolicited messages. As long as they don't start out with a one agenda perv goal I don't mind them at all. If I can tell that it's all about that I will get bored pretty fast.

I don’t have a problem with unsolicited messages per se, it’s just the content of some of those messages that I have a problem with.

I don't mind messages most times, but I typically don't respond to ones that just say "hi".... I need more to go on

I tell them I'm not in to small talk and to please not message me again. Some I just delete and some I respond. It depends on what is being said.

I’m always hopeful when I get a new message from someone I haven’t spoken to before. I’ve often been disappointed by people who are obvious fakes or go 100% turbo perv after the first “hi” message.

I stay hopeful because they aren’t all like that, sometimes it becomes a fun, real conversation and the beginning of a SW friendship.

So I always reply to that first “hi.”

I don't read PM's often but they can send me one. I'll get back to them eventually.

I don't like unsolicited messages about creepy things, and that's what most of them are trying to lead up to. I check a person's profile before I decide whether to respond.

I delete if I never saw the name before on the boards or I’m not interested in general or they are sleazy. That’s how I feel 😉

It really depends on my mood. Some days I'll block them and other days curiosity gets to me and i'll look before I block them.

If it's someone I've never interacted with or not really friends with I ignore it.

I usually just ignore them unless I recognize the user. Too many weird messages.

Rarely ever leads to anything but a catfish

If I don’t like the message I just don’t respond

I love receiving unsolicited messages. “Wanna see my cock?” or something like that is very welcomed, though I rarely get those messages. If you’re talking about unsolicited nudes, well...I wish they asked because I probably would’ve said yes unless too old, but I wouldn’t be mad.

I don’t really see many people soliciting for messages. At least not the kind of people anyone would want to message.

I welcome them, but how I respond depends on the message.

Ignore them.

Ignore and delete, mostly.

I don’t mind a random PM but it seems more often than not it’s just someone trying to speak sexually or about a fetish etc.
