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

I'm really intrigued by how people feel about this matter. I hope for lots of dialogue on it. Admittedly, I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but I think it's still a relevant question. What do you think?

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.

@ravenwind43 Thank you! I'm pleased that you remain optimistic, though I'm sure you receive lots of messages you'd rather not have seen. I like the fact you are open-minded and willing to give people the benefit of the doubt.

@splendid No pretty much never. I rarely get messaged from anyone unless I already know them.

@splendid I seem to be super fortunate that I don't have the constant issues here so many women complain about🙂

@ravenwind43 Good for you. I hope this good trend continues. I'll check your profile to investigate. My guess is how you present yourself has a lot to do with it.

@splendid I don't know? I used to message people first but it rarely went beyond a first conversation so I no longer do that lol.

@ravenwind43 I just checked your profile. Here's my sense. You are a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of woman. An up-front and open-minded person. I see nothing there that might invite much in the way of unwanted advances. So, yes, I think your profile has a lot to do with the fact you don't hear much from pervs. By the way, I like your "about me" statement, though I am sorry you have been enduring grief.

I message a lot of people, but rarely receive responses. So, I understand well what you relate from your experiences.

@splendid That is a creepily accurate assessment 😲 lol...thank you. Grief is a hard process🙂

@ravenwind43 Sorry, didn't mean to creep you out! Sometimes I am a pretty good judge of character and motivation. In my work, I have to be.

@ravenwind43 I am sorry that you are still grieving, but I do understand. I takes a long time.

@splendid LOL it's fine...I found it interesting.

@ravenwind43 Thanks for giving me a fair chance! Don't worry, I won't become your worst nightmare. After all, I don't have time to be!

@splendid LOL no problem 🙂
