Now I know that this is not Facebook but I have a suggestion. Would be great if members could comment on photo's, specific photo's in profiles...
My reason is as follows. I often browse the gallery and open profiles that are not really matches for me, or I am not a match for them. I do it out of curiosity - nothing more. very often, I see stunning pics. I am a nice guy, so I send a message complimenting the picture (not often though). I don't get many replies which is perfect because I do not expect any, it is purely a compliment - nothing more.
I have on 3 occations recieved replies where I was told that I did not read the profile and that single males are not welcome! (not in those exact words). I have to respond by telling them that I am not contacting them for a chat or meet, I am only complimenting the lady in the pic. Some are 1000's of km's away so why would I bother to try and meet? The no single men profiles are also out of reach so again, why would I bother? Telling a lady that she is pretty does not mean that I am trying to bone her!!
I always start by saying "Hubby, you are a lucky man! Your lady is stunning".. and always end with "just a compliment where it is deserved"... or something to that effect. I never emply anything or suggest anything. I would love to be able to leave a remark at the actual picture when I open it to view. Also a bit difficult to always explain exactly which pic in their profile I am referring to. Sometimes it's the person I am complimenting and other times the pic itself may be hot, like a wild sex position or a sea view in the backround...
So this is not a social network site where we all "post" statuses or "tag" pictures... Or is it? We are afterall an online community? Digital friends?
I agree Stamina, all I can think of is that the level of woman abuse by single males is much more serious than any decent single guy could ever imagine because I too have spontaneously posted a compliment on a profile or in private in the chat room and POW!, you'd swear you had just committed the most heinous crime judging from the reaction you get.
It is not unheard of that you receive responses like "f... off", "what do you want?", "go f... your knuckles" etc.
I'm like: wow, can't the ladies on this site recognise a compliment when they see one??
Chill girls ! Please.....
It's a pity that there are people out there (be it male or female) that use sites like this for an "abuse" opportunity, because like you have both said, it's a compliment from people like us (those who appreciate what they see) and the person on the other never gets to "take it in" because they immediately get defensive . . . . Nice Photo means nice photo . . . .
It seems compliments are not wanted
I also agree that it would be nice to be able to compliment people on their form,I don't see why people should take offense, some of us are really nice people, and then u get the stuck up ones. I'm new to this site and too be honest there are a lot of nasty people out there. But then again u get some people who have the personality of a gem... I love browsing through peoples picks, I mean that's why they put it there in the 1st place.
We just have to find the people that understand what a compliment is...
Anyways its a friday so its the weekend baby whooohoo
@clinty, I agree that there are "stuck up" people here. What I cannot understand is what they are doing here???? If they have that particular outlook, then i would think this is not the right place for them . . .
Not so long ago I was told to "Fuck off", but then agin it was an immature person that thinks everybody is out to jump his bones
@ voyeur....so did you Fuck off???LMAO
Makes me think ...
I received a mail (pasting in).....*So will you fuck of chat..* and a smiley face.
I was very flabbergasted....
Did the person mean I had to *fuck off chat*? I was not even in chat at all.I hardly ever log in there as it is.
So I sent a mail back saying he is bad mannered
But afterwards re reading that mail I had to wonder if he meant *WILL I fuck or do I just chat* , crass he was sure , but he is surely did not read my profile,and then he really did not formulate his written message very well.....
