Is it rude?

Blog Last Activity 12 years ago 660 views 12 comments
I have a question/query. Recently I've received several new friend requests/adds. I've accepted all, as I'm primarily here to meet people, chat and maybe make a new friend. My standard way of accepting is to accept the add, then send the member a short but nice message saying "hi, thanks for the add. If you'd like to chat message me anytime etc etc"

Of the 15 or so people who have added me in the last week or so, only one has replied and all he wanted was for me to rate his profile. So is it just me who is here to actually talk to people? And does anyone else find it kinda rude?

Often an add request is an indication of enjoying your site and a quick way to return to view updates.

I also accept all friend invites, sometimes I respond with a "thanks for the friend invite" and other times I don't...does that make me a rude person?...I do not think so.

My friends list is small but a response/reply is courteous. Without - well,what can I say. U need to stopaccepting everyone, be selective. Good luck.

if we get chat there has to be moderators tho cos of the few creepy lurkers that want to do bad. if we can get a group of volunteers to moderate and stick with it that might help nick a lot. if people lookin for sex then go to squirt.org and let guys who want to be just buds and ok talk about sex some but not to hit on members have their place to hang.

i know this feeling and think part of it comes from lack of group chat here. we end up blogging here and posting on walls but really cant get together in a group and talk and get to know more about each other. some peeps i know may have a solution on this but it has been recommended to nick18 and he is busy dude so lets give him a chance too. i remember some chat rooms and it was like so fun to be just a bunch of guys b-s and like in a all homo locker room and everybody bein themselves. i mean were all here to wank but really the more i look people want friends and just to talk. am i wrong?

I agree that I find the friend process a bit disillusioning. I get a request, review the senders profile, and (if I accept them) send a short thanks/greeting message. For most requests, that is the last time I ever hear from them. It seems that most requesters are just racking up trophies (i.e., I have more "friends" on my page than you have), rather than actually trying to interact with anyone. As a result, I am bit slow with requests and accept very few of them (particularly if their profiles provide little information and they are not active in uploading material to the site).

I accept some friend requests, a very few and then I give the ones I add a week to say something more than hi. If they are not here for chatting, I delete them. Read their profiles/bios, most all seem generic. Most of the users here, seem to be fake.
