By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

I tend to be a fairly direct person myself, and make it clear who I do and don't like, especially on here, but how open do others consider themselves to be?

I was inspired to ask as lately, I seem to be getting rather a lot of people inboxing me directly regarding a number of my forum contributions, I don't have an issue with this as they've all been very friendly and polite, but it does ultimately make me wonder why some don't wish to interact openly?

"Maybe because some don't like to share their business with the forum world? "

Perhaps not, but as a single male it does get frustrating, wondering how many potential partners you've missed out on, simply because they didn't have the confidence to say hello

(by the way that's not a green light for people to starting hammering my inbox, just try and be more open in the forums is all I'm asking)

Maybe because who they like and who they wish to chat to about certain subjects they prefer to be private. I have enjoyed flirting on here in the past but any real interest in someone else, I learned, is best reserved for private messages.

I get a fair few messages about some of my posts on here usually when it's a bit controversial and they say they agree etc.

Or if I've argued with certain I tend to get a few warning messages regarding the way they've acted in the past an how it might be better to avoid the issue.

Not sure why your jumping down her throat there she asked a reasonable question as people are contacting you privately the only thing you could be missing out on is a bit of public flirtation.

You can be a silver tongued cavalier but still look like Jabba the Hut. I should know!

I think its a slightly narcissistic / egocentric _iewpoint to think that because people message you privately about a public posting that they therefore must 'like you' - unless its explicitly stated or becomes so through discourse.

People email me about my posts on here; not once have I ever considered it a gateway to anything else other than they like/dislike my post and wish to discuss further away from the discourse of other posts in-between.

There's plenty of hidden agendas.

Threads to invoke sympathy.

Threads to have a subtle dig.

Threads to illicit certain responses - increased message traffic, the common 'look at me' threads, threads seeking approval/reassurance.

Threads designed to give the impression that the situation is different to what is the reality - the volume/content of message claims, the tales more suited to the fantasy forum, the I'm leaving (sometime this decade!) threads.

All is often not what it seems. A little reading between the lines often starts the spidey senses twitching and sometimes a pattern emerges in people's posts.

And to answer the original question? Whether someone comments in a thread or messages via PM I honestly couldn't be bothered. And I've generally noticed little difference between the two regarding content.

I don't even take much notice of post on here, people flirt and joke all the time when its on an open forum I just take it as a bit of fun

Its like the kiss, fuck, avoid type threads I don't think every guy who puts fuck really wants to fuck me

Surely if you were genuinely interested in them you would mail them not just try to make yourself popular buy flirting with everyone on the forums, which I have noticed some do

I don't flirt on the forums. If someone thinks I'm flirting with another poster I've probably spoken to them previously in private and I'm having a little joke. I just say what comes into my head usually,I don't use the forums as a way of attracting people to me. I wouldn't have my profile pic public if I were

An over inflated sense of importance certainly being among them...

I like banter in the forums, if it was anything more serious I'd take it to pm.

In fact nothing would put me off more than someone fawning all over me in the forums.

Why do people need someone to public ally display they fancy them unless its for some narcistical reasons.

Ashamed? Why would anyone be ashamed of fancying someone else? If people feel shame about what they are attracted to then they need to sort themselves out.

If what the OP means is why do they send PMs instead of posting on the forum the answer is generally one of two things: a) they pressed reply privately in error or b) they didn't want to share it with everyone.

I get b) a lot more than a) but usually when they have something abusive to say in response to a post.

As to agendas, snide digs and lamppost marking just read above.

"I like a flirt on the forums but prefer to have private more personal chats....and I don't mean about sex

This totally."

Likewise, although I rarely flirt on the forums other than join in the odd 'fuck, suck, dump' type thread

I welcome any pms and have no filters up, I've had quite a few good convos on pm with men, women, couples, TV/TS (most of which I'm never going to or have no interest in meeting) from a few quick shared comments about a forum thread to longer chats that go off at 90 degrees and morph into something totally different! Good civil chats either on the Forums or via PM are one of the key draws to this site for me

Fine.

I don't see why some people feel that when chatting about none personal things, such as forum topics, they need to take it to PM when the information being shared isn't particularly personal or private. If you find a person particularly interesting, and don't want to message them on the forum because it may be an older topic and they probably won't see your reply then it's fine to message them personally, but lately I've been getting a lot of messages from topics currently running, and I could only conclude that it's because for some reason, they felt like they couldn't talk to me publically.

Out of interest were they supportive or critical or a mix of both?

Quite often I'll get a pm from someone they say they agree with something I've said but doesn't tend to happen if they disagree (in my experience recently anyway).

Maybe they just want to offer support without putting their head above the parapet especially if it's a divisive topic?

They were typically supportive, either of something I'd said, or simply that they liked the thread (I got a few for the Chinese Whispers game), I don't think I've ever received any for controversial topics.

They are obviously just interested in talking to you. Maybe they don't want to take over a thread.

I'd have to agree with the OP. You're over analysing this. People have felt the need to message you in private about a post/thread.

That's it.

It's happened to me in the past, and I'm sure there's plenty more people in the same boat.

My experience is ice cream threads do well, especially when it's warm. Cake and biscuit threads do better though.

"I tend to be a fairly direct person myself, and make it clear who I do and don't like, especially on here, but how open do others consider themselves to be?

I was inspired to ask as lately, I seem to be getting rather a lot of people inboxing me directly regarding a number of my forum contributions, I don't have an issue with this as they've all been very friendly and polite, but it does ultimately make me wonder why some don't wish to interact openly?

Is this why people have loud phone conversations on packed trains, just so everyone can see how popular they are?

I was once sat behind a rather old and large oriental woman on the train who was having a very loud and very sexual conversation with her husband on the phone.
