Posted: 10/18/2006 3:14:47 PM | Canadian Shadow has a nice way of putting it. I add to my fav list, because I am interested. I figure that if they see that I have added them and that they are interested that they will contact me. It is kind of a first step on my part in contacting a person.
I do take it as a compliment when someone adds me that I do not know. It is nice to receive a "smile". | |

Extremely common - take it as a compliment that they are interested in you some way - sometimes it's just 'cause they want to see what you have to say in the forums or they wish to talk to you at some future time - who knows and who cares - it's not a big deal.
That's my thinking now. I don't know 95% of the people that have added me and I used to remove them. After awhile it became a chore and now I just let it go. I now take it as a compliment. No biggie.
What I don't get are the forum posts by people that say they won't message those that have been added to a lot of favourites lists. I'm not chatting with the majority of them and never asked them to add me.
Odd. | |

Posted: 10/19/2006 6:26:46 AM | I'll click someone to my favs without contact first, usually just because their profile warrants more than a quick "Hi, like your profile" and I may not have the time (at the moment) to put something thoughtful together.
Sometimes there is just that "something" that makes you curious but you're not sure if you actually wanna go there, kwim?
I also like to see what forums are being frequented - you can learn a lot about someone by their posts.
I might feel overwhelmed if I were swamped by people making me a fav, though... | |

Posted: 10/19/2006 6:56:57 AM | I don't always pay attention to who adds me, however if I notice someone has added me without contact and has been there for a few weeks/month, then I delete them.
I add people as their profile interests me. Again though, if I had not contacted them within a week, I usually delete them from my list. | |

Posted: 10/25/2006 12:57:34 PM | | What I find odd is when people add you without contacting you then don't respond when you contact them. I can't figure that part out, then again I haven't wasted too much brain power on it. | |

Posted: 10/25/2006 1:08:50 PM | | I have had all kinds of people add me to thier faves list! Most of them I have met at a POF party or have known them prior to them adding me (emails etc...)! Also just because I send you emails back and forth it does not guarantee you a spot on my faves list! It takes time for you to get to that point! If I notice that you have added me (with no reason) and I send you and email then send one back otherwise I will be hitting that remove from faves list button and most likely be blocking you in that process! I am not here for your personnal eye candy portfolio! JMHO! Another good suggestion would be to actually read the profile before you send an email or add them to your list!!! | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 8:45:52 AM | This is almost funny. Without a doubt, one of the most talked about subjects on this dating web site..... I find it hard to believe people get weirded out or insulted that someone else might put them on the fav's list and then NOT DO SOMETHING.......woooo. It is almost like the author of said subject is really just chosing another method of fishing..?? It is what it is. Thousands of potential mates...hard to sort...when you see someone you like or sparks an interest....if you don't put them as a fav....you would have to search for quite some time to find again, even if you could remember. It is not a big deal to some.
Maybe the members who get offended by this, tell the rest of us a little of their demeanour. | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 9:28:06 AM | Perhaps those most "offended" by being added to another person's fav list should delete their profile, close all the blinds/curtains/drapes where they live, get an unlisted phone number, start wearing a veil or burlap sack over their face when in public, and only go out after dark (in order to avoid being noticed ...).  | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 10:13:36 AM | Definatly WEIRDED OUT ... I get these people that add me too & no word from them ... WTF's up with that ?
If you're going to add someone to you list of fav's ... at least be kind enough to send a note along ... even if it's just to say "HI"  | |
|
| Weirded out
Posted: 2/18/2007 1:51:19 PM | I had a woman add me to her favorites back in sept. After a week or so of no contact, i sent her a note saying "noticed ya added me to your favs.. why not say hi?!"
And the rest is history.
It didn't work out at the begining... but we met at a POF event and thats what brought us together. | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 3:08:24 PM | Never weirded out, just flattered and sometimes curious why they don't make contact.
Then I remember that I sometimes add people to my favorites because I enjoy reading their posts or think they have interesting viewpoints/insights or just plain make me laugh (better than TV I tell ya). Or they have an interesting profile that is a cut above the rest and merits a second look when I am ready. | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 6:26:02 PM | P.S. (sometimes people set their mail restrictions such that folks can't even send a kind/polite/chatty/non-threatening/"not hitting on ya" kinda "hi" ...)

Posted: 2/27/2007 9:53:53 AM | Sometimes little fishies swim by and dont take the bait right away...but they remember where the biggest worm is dangling!!!!! LMFAO
Get outta my head! I was gonna say, I add some when I come across a profile I like, but wait until I have extra time to send a message. Then get other messages so it may take a little longer. No big deal, just adding something interesting to my collection to view and possibly respond later, haven't you ever done that?
YAY, I'M FINALLY ON TOP!!! | |
