Please don't do this!
I've never been one to not say what's on my mind and need to get something off my chest. This is really hard for me because I don't want to piss anyone off or cause a riot. Lately, I've received a number of personal messages from men who start the conversation, saying things like "Hi Beautiful," bla bla bla, and use words like gorgeous, wonderful, lovely, fascinating, etc. that make me feel very uncomfortable. I'm not trying to pick on anyone but feel these messages are rather inappropriate, have nothing to do with what this site is about, and simply don't like being talked to like that by total strangers. Am I being overly sensitive? Is this just the way people talk today, or what? Has this happened to other women? Look, I'm not mad at anyone but guys, please don't do this. I am happy to talk with you but not like this. Okay, I've had my say; so let's just move on and start over. #advice
@Genise Caruso I'm sorry this has been happening to you! It's definitely inappropriate, but unfortunately those kinds of people will always be around online. Make sure to report any profiles that you feel are scamming you or looking for personal information! Stay safe! π
So, let me now comment again after seeing what others think. First, I never said or implied they were scammers. They could very be, but that wasn't the issue. My problem is 1.) I don't particularly like little "pet" names or words of endearment from people who do not know me. A month from now if I started communicating regularly with one or many of these guys, it would be a different story. 2.) There are scams we likely know from people who start their communications like this. I almost got taken for $10K by a guy, claiming to be a doctor helping in third-world countries. He was charming, picture and all. Then, one day out of the blue he asked for some money to be sent and all bets were off. Okay, I'm getting off the subject. 3.) Personally I feel creepy when someone starts laying on the complements really thick, based on a picture. 4.) There are many other sites where people can mingle like that but I consider this, as with LinkedIn, a professional networking site, so it's not appropriate. Anyway, please take the message in the manner it was given. I wasn't screaming, swearing, or giving out names. I felt I had to say something, not so much for my own sake, but there might be much younger women who could potentially get into something they might not like. Everyone, please lets all respect and give each other the benefit of a doubt. I'm not mad and happy to communicate with these people if everyone plays nice.
Yes..I'm getting friend request from men...and it's not about employment.
Genise, try to remember that not everyone is merely a scammer. Not everyone feels the need to be inappropriate. This that care and respect your feelings on the matter will look at how they are treating you and change the problem. Those that give no Fβs wonβt do anything. Keep the ones that genuinely care. Block all others. Hope it helps. π€·πΌββοΈππΌ Happy Monday everyone! π
To be honest I think everyone's being oversensitive would you rather be addressed by what huh whatever most of the time people only reply with words from their heart doesn't mean in a sexual or inappropriate way but I also has a lot to do do you feel like you're being flirted with cuz there's a lot of nice men and women that address in that manner and mean nothing but but you have ever right to feel the way you feel and if you feel that way then you need to make sure you let them know that you like to be addressed by your name but you must give your name to be addressed by your name because I know address women with how you doing today sweetie and thank you beautiful and it does not mean that outer appearance it means your heart you got a sweetheart and your heart is beautiful and why people take that as disrespect I don't know it's all what people just look at i know I never mean anything sexual if I dress a person that way I'm looking on the inner beauty not the outer appearance that's coming from a Christian man and a man of God so I'm pretty sure other men could mean it other ways but my aspect is from the inner beauty
I agree I dont like that from men either.. Just don't respond block them as well
Because they're scammers Genise, no real men would do that! It's not only men though, I get women doing the same, they're just running a scam, block them!
Anyone help me out, what are the qualifications to hired?
