I hear you have had similar situations when I thought I was doing the 'nice' thing by inviting someone (alone) to join my group. I still invite people to join my group, and it's them whether they participate on not. No loss here

why can't we be friendly and give a compliment without thinking there's some other motive involved? If I'm really interested in you, I will make it clear. But I like to give compliments... without people looking at me like I'm trying to sleep with them. Yeah, I'm not sure why some guys can't see that someone is just being friendly to them.

It's pretty sad when I get "rejected" from a compliment or being nice

The same thing goes for emails on here. I usually reply to everyone who writes me. However, that does not mean I'm interested in everyone I reply to. Some guys assume any response means the person is interested. I don't get it.

Now and again i get random people complimenting me on my profile or because of a post i made, and i just ignore them, because i cannot be bothered talking to random people. I will reply if i recognise them from the threads though.

Some guys assume any response means the person is interested. I don't get it. The response rate os so low on here I've heard, that unless you tell them you are really not looking, they make the assumption you are interested.

Why does it seem like a woman can't compliment a guy on something without seeming like she's "hitting" on him? Can't guys just take a compliment for what it is? Just a compliment... I take a compliment as just a compliment

It states in my profile I'm only looking for friends. Not that they actually read it or anything.

A bit of payback for your menstrual cycle we endure each month.

Well, people should know better than to make assumptions, but that's asking a lot.

A bit of payback for your menstrual cycle we endure each month. OK... just so we're CLEAR. If you bled that much from ANYWHERE on your body for a week every month, and you didn't die, you would be b!tchy too.

That doesn't really make sense. What? that each month during that "special" week, you think you are fine?......lol I beg to differ.
