Where the male OP only acknowledges/responds to the females who post... anyone else find these funny/irritating/eyeroll worthy?  It just seems so transparent and cringeworthy...
(For the record I try to respond to anyone who writes an interesting post, regardless of whether I'd like to fuck them) |

Correction: to the females who post that they are interested in.
The rest of womenkind can go jump in a river and sing Dolly Parton songs and still not get a reaction.
To be honest OP, men like that come a cropper after awhile as the smell of bullshit is very overpowering. |

Ok, your correction is accepted! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who spots it  |

Haha I'd say between 50 and 75% of it personally. I do see some interesting threads that don't reek of "please look at me!!" I think the volume of threads posted with nothing but profile clicks in mind just seems to overshadow the thought provoking ones |

"It's spotted op. I don't expect that anyone is stupid or ignorant on here.  "
I hope no one thought I was calling them stupid! I consider most forumites to be switched on to the ways of Fab. Of course there are some I wouldn't give that much credit, but I guess that's true of any group of people |

it's very noticeable when that happens! The men totally ignored but the hot ladies all replied to, usually with "great pics by the way!"
And then there's those "comment on the poster above" threads. Now sometimes they move so fast that you think you're commenting on the person above but 3 or 4 people can post almost simultaneously and so you inadvertently miss people out - but without fail on every thread you'll find a number of people that miss out the fella above that posted 5 minutes ago to tell the hottie female who last posted 30 minutes ago how much they want to kiss / fuck or whatever! Desperate indeed!  |

In defence of people who do this though. This is a forum for flirting and finding people who match, how they use it is up to you.
But I'm aware who will reply to my posts or not , or who will reply to who in a thread. It's obvious who are friends. We are allowed to have a friend list. We're even given a block list.
So when I hear what your saying, it's kind of on here anyway.

"I get ignored on all the threads. Yesterday i was the only woman the op didnt speak to it humours me"
Don't you think it takes time for someone to notice you though on here?
I only recognised you for the very first time yesterday (I mean no offence). and now I see you here, you e stood out. And becease it may take us time to start to read your personality in other threads, we gain the confidence in how we can relate to you, and then we can reply.
I'm overthinking things now. I can't understand how I'm Unnoticed. I took my top off for my profile pic too.  |

They can't reply to every post or the thread would fill up like spam. People do get noticed even if they don't quote your reply.
Blatant flirting is funny. Lamp post pissing and derailing threads with shite that would be better in a pm is funny to watch. Sometimes annoying.
I haven't seen the pack of wolves hounding a new guy that dares to ask a question for a while. Wonder if all the wolf types got banned. |

Also, I'll happily call out someone I think is asking pointless questions (like the guy who has recently started loads of question threads but never joined in the ensuing discussion) or blatantly begging for attention. I do this completely independently, without the help of any "wolf types". |

I'm all for using the forum for flirting and making connections - some of my meets have started as forum interactions so I know how the game works.
It's the shameless attention seeking, and the cringeworthy pandering to it that annoys me. And as soon as a female replies to a desperate male OP, he latches on for dear life But maybe that's just me feeling embarrassed for them when there's no need... especially when a lot of them don't seem to have any self awareness!
And my block list is huge, mainly as a result of using the forums. Unfortunately I still have to see their input here, which is a shame! |

OP, yes, I've noticed it. It's mildly eye rolling inducing but it seems to have calmed down a bit. I've seen it the other way around - a female OP only responds to those male forumites she wants to fuck. I just carry on posting regardless. |

It is transparent. But when the OP is new I kind of understand it and find it amusing. Other than that, I am so often ignored in points I make in favour of more flirtatious/attractive posters making the same point that I have gone past being mildly irked by its growing frequency and out the other side of being amused by that as well now. And may occasionally throw a my tuppence worth spanner in the middle of a get a room flirt frenzy as is my wont. |

I really don't care if anyone acknowledges me on threads. I've contributed to what I'm interested in, and as long as my words are there then I expect people to continue with the thread with their own thoughts and opinion.
I have of course noticed the posters who will try and derail an interesting thread with either very sickening appreciation of an individual or a couple openly flirting and commenting continuously on rubbish the other has said. I do wonder why these people can't just message privately. |

It bothers me because it's cringeworthy, and isn't a real discussion if the OP only started it so they can interact with those they wish to fuck. I post when I have something to say. Acknowledgement is useful when you're discussing something, but shameless attention seeking makes me roll my eyes

You're right that it is almost funny seeing a newbie make the attention seeking mistakes and having all the regulars call them out and laugh at it. I guess I should maybe be more forgiving of those ones!
I didn't realise how many people here felt regularly ignored though, even those I consider the flirtatious/attractive ones it seems  |

I don't know what the correct forum etiquette is for threads. I always feel a little daft responding to every post. I tend to respond if I feel a response is warranted but this involves a degree of cherry-picking. |

I know what you mean. As OP, you feel a responsibility to engage with those who deemed your topic worth discussing. But like you say, not every post requires a response... it's quite subjective I guess |

I agree that some threads seem to be started just for attention and these are the clickbait ones that don't have anything of substance in the opening post just an ambiguous title.
As for flirting, we all do it but if the same two people carry on flirting throughout a thread and their posts have nothing to do with the original thread, then I think they should have the manners to take it to PM. |

I think we'll have to agree to disagree here. I don't see why a thread should only allow those who agree with the OP to post, that seems a bit closed minded to me. |

If you find those threads cringe worthy, I would suggest staying away from them.
This is a site that is mainly used for grabbing attention of other people, how they choose to do this is their own right even if you find the methods off putting.
What makes you think that? I don't think I have posted anything that would try to devalue someone else's point of view. I share mine and naturally there might be some disagreement, I don't however try to force it upon other people. |

Ok, my bad... GET A BED!"
Ok, no need to shout

"Where the male OP only acknowledges/responds to the females who post... anyone else find these funny/irritating/eyeroll worthy? It just seems so transparent and cringeworthy...
(For the record I try to respond to anyone who writes an interesting post, regardless of whether I'd like to fuck them)
It is transparent. But when the OP is new I kind of understand it and find it amusing. Other than that, I am so often ignored in points I make in favour of more flirtatious/attractive posters making the same point that I have gone past being mildly irked by its growing frequency and out the other side of being amused by that as well now. And may occasionally throw a my tuppence worth spanner in the middle of a get a room flirt frenzy as is my wont.
You're right that it is almost funny seeing a newbie make the attention seeking mistakes and having all the regulars call them out and laugh at it. I guess I should maybe be more forgiving of those ones!
I didn't realise how many people here felt regularly ignored though, even those I consider the flirtatious/attractive ones it seems "
I don't like seeing them called out. We were all new on here once and I can understand the kid in a sweet shop initial forum mentality, especially from an oversubscribed demographic who may struggle because of that to get responses to PMs. And of course people regularly feel ignored. Especially when they're caught in the middle of flirting and some of less than well hidden forum agenda. |

"Anyone see the game last night?
I like how this went straight over the heads of everyone on this thread.

Just because no one commented on it, doesn't mean no one understood it... |

"Correction: to the females who post that they are interested in.
The rest of womenkind can go jump in a river and sing Dolly Parton songs and still not get a reaction.
To be honest OP, men like that come a cropper after awhile as the smell of bullshit is very overpowering.
I believe it it the smell of bullshit blended with desperation... "
it's very embarrassing when you meet such a guy and he does this afterwards.
oh well, you live and learn. |

I don't particularly care if my posts get a response or not. This isn't real life. It's just a bit of fun, yet so many people seem to take things so seriously in the forums. I sometimes wonder if they don't have much else happening in their lives, if that's the case, it's quite sad really. |

"They can't reply to every post or the thread would fill up like spam. People do get noticed even if they don't quote your reply.
Blatant flirting is funny. Lamp post pissing and derailing threads with shite that would be better in a pm is funny to watch. Sometimes annoying.
I haven't seen the pack of wolves hounding a new guy that dares to ask a question for a while. Wonder if all the wolf types got banned.
Also, I'll happily call out someone I think is asking pointless questions (like the guy who has recently started loads of question threads but never joined in the ensuing discussion) or blatantly begging for attention. I do this completely independently, without the help of any "wolf types".
Why is that an issue though? If people don't like threads just don't post on them.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree here. I don't see why a thread should only allow those who agree with the OP to post, that seems a bit closed minded to me."
Oh I didn't mean people shouldn't disagree. Too much nicey shit makes life boring. |

I agree with that. I often wonder if these "forum legends" that get worshipped/reminisced about in threads here every now and then live up to their big forum presence in real life. I try to treat this place as just a bit of fun, and I don't get upset if no one acknowledges my posts. The blatant attention seeking of some forumites/trolls just gets tiresome sometimes! |
