I rarely start threads just because its all been done. Nothing is original anymore.


That's the quest for 2009 an Original thread. frustrated

I will try but seems I'm better at killing threads than starting them.slaphead

I did not find how we are able to delete threads. I am assuming kill means delete? Can you tell me where I can find how to do this?

Topics can not be new but people can put personal experience into the topic and make the topic original and different.

To "kill a thread" means you are the last person to post and no one posts after you and the thread just dies with no more responses ending up you being the "thread-killer".


I found out how to delete a topic. I used the report button in my introduction topic. The topic was leaving its subject so I reported it and it disappeared almost immediately. :smile:


Maybe people do not kill topics maybe topics are just talked out. Are you saying that some people are often the last one to make a comment?
Maybe they smell bad and no one wants to make a comment after them. :laughing:

Every post made on this site is attention seeking in some manner or another. Its the adult thing to do to just ignore those you don't care for and go on about your day without causing any unnecessary drama .

No doubt, some will do it for the attention.

It's a convoluted way of saying, "Hey, look at me, I get a lot of attention from men on the site!"

But they're mostly pretty transparent.

And then you get the ones -- often new people -- who simply weren't prepared for the onslaught of outrageously juvenile, misspelled, inappropriate, and generally off-putting "solicitations" they get -- and there's going to be a reaction to that.

The reaction is usually along the lines of "Ick."

And I see nothing wrong with them posting about it -- it tells people, "Hey, I'm really not interested in this sort of garbage." Will the garbagists listen? Probably not. But a little venting can be a good thing, anyway.

And the ones who just do it for the attention? Well, the good ones have lots of other ways to get attention, too. This is merely one of many strategies in the arsenal.




"And then you get the ones -- often new people -- who simply weren't prepared for the onslaught of outrageously juvenile, misspelled, inappropriate, and generally off-putting "solicitations" they get -- and there's going to be a reaction to that."

That is what happened with me. I was not prepared for the amount of mail.
I like attention and I will not say I do not like attention. I put up pictures because I like attention. Because I like attention does not mean I ask for rude attention and mean attention.



I have this happen a lot though.....I have never sent an inappropriate email and I never will.....but when I send one that is inline with a person's profile, tells a little about myself and then politely asks a question that might elicit a response, and then says that I hope to have a return.......NOTHING!!!! EVER.......

You know you can tell here when someone reads a mail you've sent.....so you know it at least gets opened....so what's wrong with a short reply even if it's just to say "thanks, but No thanks?"

That's exactly why I refuse to send out first e-mails anymore -- I have never sent an inappropriate one either -- and if a guy who has written two books, and all kinds of magazine and website articles, can't even get a reply, then why bother?

Sometimes I think maybe there are women who actually PREFER "Sup?" or "Nice boobs" e-mails to something well thought out, respectful, and humorous. But I wouldn't want to be involved with someone like that, anyway.
