Thanks, Holly. I know you get where I’m coming from. Since I typed that in my sleep I wondered whether it even made sense.
Some people are players/attention seekers, but some of us are just here to chill, bounce ideas off of others, laugh, type our thoughts out loud, learn from others and make genuine friendships, male AND female. If you are a one man kinda woman (and I would think this to be a GOOD thing), it is incredibly overwhelming to be hammered with attention like that, isn’t it? How will you ever hear the voice/read the words of Mr Right if all of the Mr IJustWant2SeeUrPic&GetUrPhone#s keep drowning him out?
You can even go into a FORMAL BIBLE STUDY and guys will bug the crap out of you. (Can I say crap here? Sorry if I can’t…) You go into chat to see male and female friends who probably thought you died (haha) , who may be struggling with issues that you’ve been praying about, trying to help new people orient themselves to the program or just enjoy a casual conversation, and guys are PMing you with questions like these:
Hai
Why don’t you put a pic up?
Why don’t you put a pic up?
Why don’t you put a pic up?
So you put a pic up thinking they will shut up and go away. Then you get…
How can you put up a pic that looks that good and then tell me I can’t PM you?
So does your “not a fan of PMs” message mean I can’t PM you?
Soooooooooooooooo…you finally decide to hide in the forums where you CAN talk with everyone, turn off FB, Skype, your phone and anything else that’s gonna beep or buzz at you or go to bed
And then people have the nerve to ask why you aren’t married…
Yes, it's quite unfortunate i do know where your comin from.
I hate when guys do that whole picture thing!
This is how an actual conversation went not long ago on here.
Guy: u should put up a pic where i can c ur face better
Me: No, i really shouldn't
Guy: Why u so rude I jus wanna c if ur cute
Me: (at this point im ignoring him)
Guy: u gona put up that pic?
Me: No, and were done talking now.
Guy: Hello u ther
Me: (still ignoring him)
Guy: pleazz put up pic
That continued on for a few minutes, him begging me to put up a different picture while i ignored him.That conversation still makes me shake my head, and not just because of the picture comment, but for a 28 year old man his grammer was like a 12 year old girl.
I get asked i don't know HOW many times, your 29 shouldn't you be married and have kids already???
This question makes me wanna reach through my computer and choke somebody.
I like talking with different people, male and female, thats why i go into the chat room. I like hearing about other people's mess, which is why i read and post in the forums. I'm not here to date anyone, or to try and find someone. Some guys can't seem to respect that and they try and demand all your attention. That doesn't sit well with me and i'm always quick to let them know that. After i have had a talk with whatever person is bothering me, i always get told how ''unchristian'' i am, and get called a slew of names in some cases.
Sometimes i don't even wanna come in here because i don't appreciate the 15 messages so and so has sent me in the past half an hour!
