| why do people add you to their favorites and never contact you?
Posted: 2/13/2007 2:31:57 AM | OK got this figured.
Now bear in mind I'm new here.
Aren't messages deleted automatically after 30 days?
Yet when you add someone to your "favorites" all messages are retained in the "favorites" folder. It is a way of retaining messages beyond 30 days. That explains why someone added me to their favorites just before deleting all my messages. Phew, and I was about to hang myself..... | |

Posted: 2/13/2007 6:06:24 AM | Sorry, that's still not correct. Messages aren't kept longer than 30 days anywhere and you don't need to have someone in favorites to view all your messages with them. There used to be a tab called "contacts", right next to "viewed me". That section is now located IN the "viewed me" section. There is a link way at the bottom in blue.
Complicated? I know! Slowly but surely, you'll catch on, lol | |

Posted: 2/14/2007 8:40:51 AM | Yep it's an Aladdin's cave alright. I like the ability so see who has read your messages. Heck my first two have never been opened and one even contained a rose. None left for Valentine's now.
Seems the "favorites" section is mostly being used to list people who have contacted the ladies then. A tad pointless if they aren't going to respond.
Anyway I've had one really nice positive response and when I figure who rated my picture a "1" I'll offer to train my dog as a seeing-eye for them. LoL | |

Posted: 2/14/2007 11:24:08 AM | Englishman, you used your roses on an initial e-mail?? So much for you to learn! Those roses aren't just roses....they contain a message that says "Be mine". They're to be used selectively for someone special.
OT:
Why do they add you and not write? Who knows? I used to add all sorts of profiles to my favorites....if I liked stuff they posted, if I liked to look at them, hehe.
Then I started to think about the question in this forum....that they would wonder why I added them. Now, I just have those that I already know or that I have either met or maybe just saw at an event. About half on mine are women.
So I guess when I notice people have added me to their list, I don't expect them all to write to me. | |

Posted: 2/14/2007 3:05:20 PM | Daisy,
I've been around the internet long enough to not take anything here too seriously, including roses. It would amaze me if all the people here are genuine and all the stories true accounts. I mean, I could pose on here as a woman just to exchange saucy messages with other men. Some guys get off an that stuff. I'd like a facility whereby we can send the roses we receive on to someone else, just like the real world. Then you could register 6 dummy names, send all the roses to yourself, and forward a dozen to someone special.
Anyway seems my photo needs a makeover, I'm only registering a "2" so I'll be putting the dog up any day now. | |

Given that there is no real way to see which profile just got added to the fav's list, it can't work like the "smiles/winks" of other sites. I just use it as a way of bookmarking interesting people and if by chance they see that I have added them (and they contact me)...bonus

Posted: 5/2/2007 6:41:40 PM | | I've done it myself a couple times by accident. I've read a profile that I liked or found funny, interesting or whatever ,but I found it late at night when I'm only on because I can't sleep, yet my brain isn't awake enough to send a message. I end up putting it in favorites. Then when I think about the favorites list I can never rememeber what was on my mind at the time and end up deleting. So in some cases it could just be a dense moment. | |

Maybe they added cause your fugly, and they wanted to show their friend later for shits and giggles!
Maybe they added because your posts are interesting and you appear to be intelligent.
And maybe because they find you attractive :) | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 4:37:13 PM | i agree with jewels. its the cyber equivalent of eye contact or a wink. i do it all the time.
not everyone plays by YOUR rules. each of us looks at this dating thing a little differently and we all tend to come at it from a unique angle. i really dont find it helpful to jump to conclusions or generalize as to why another might view my profile, add me to favs or even shoot me a message... and i try not to make assumptions as to why they would NOT return my messages nor add me to their favorites in return.
and personally... i happen to walk around like ive got three balls. but if you feel the need to question my testosterone level, well... be my guest.

Do you ever approach a woman you smile/wink at in real life?!
I took initiative to send a message, which is more than I can say for the guys who just add someone.
I don't just add people who I would NOT contact. You're right in that everyone uses this feature, this SITE for a variety of purposes.
I don't make assumptions, I simiply ask WHY.

Posted: 7/25/2007 11:00:05 PM | | personally being a busy mum with a young child who squeezes in a bit of surfing profile here and there I can't always send out a Hello message when I want to. Hey if I add you to my favorites and after reading my profile you want to know more about me. Send me a message. With the exception of the purvey messages I always send you back at lease an acknowledgement message. | |

I get the “drive by” adding/deleting......I get the email......then by the time I go to look at the favs list….they’re gone?....
They're adding you to see when you were last online, perhaps not knowing that an email notification is sent out. Not like I've ever done that -- just an observation.  | |

Posted: 7/29/2007 9:28:28 PM | | Sometimes I'll add a person to my favorites and not contact them for a day or two. But... I always, eventually send them a quick note. If someone adds me and doesn't contact me after a week or two, I'll delete them. I've even stated it in my profile, so nobody should be surprised. | |

Posted: 8/2/2007 2:06:54 PM | | It's been mentioned here a couple of times already, but, doing this is a great way to remember interesting individuals when you might not have the time nor the creativity required to compose a thoughtful message. Those who get all uptight about this must be the same people who have call display on their phones and promptly call me back when I have misdialed and just hung up instead of leaving a message ... | |
