I have a good hundred people who put me on faves lists that I have NEVER seen on the forums or been contacted by.
and I've had an internet stalker who warned off a friend of mine.....and had TONS of info about me that he could only have gotten from POF. :(

Or how about the people you e-mail, then get a "read/deleted" without a response, but then you find out you're on their favorites list?

That's got to be the biggest mixed message I've ever gotten!

Doc, I e-mailed this guy first, and 5 minutes later got the read/deleted message. Then today I go to check who's fav lists I'm on (I needed an ego boost lol) and saw him right there at the top!

But, yeah, like you said. What's with the people who put you on their fav lists but then never contact you? GAH I don't understand people!

Perhaps they delete you because something on your profile isnt what they're looking for, but add you to their buddies list because your email was witty or made them laugh.

Just a theory.

__I typically introduce myself. Ask a few questions base on their profile. Add a few things about me. Say something corny.
__I had one removed me from their fav list. Still wonder what I may have said that upset her.

Thee have been people that I have added because I like their posts, I like to see what they have to say - really - ALLRIGHT - I'M A STALKER - but I can't email them because of email restrictions I'm ***sobbbbbbbb*** either too old or too far away ...

The favs list has nothing to do with posts or posting. There are people on my list and I on their's who I doubt know the forums exist. I was on two people's lists before I ever checked out the forums..


Is it still paranoia if they really are out to get you?

i think why they do it is, they dont have time right then to email you back or check out your profile, so they add you to there buddy list as to "get back to them later" kinda thing. who knows, could be possible.

I e-mailed one. Read/Deleted. Meh, oh well. Next thing I know, she's got me on her favorites list. A few weeks go by and then she sends me this catty e-mail about how she's taking me off of her list because I never talk to her. Eh ? lmao...whatever.

I just went through and deleted my name off of the fav lists of people I have no idea who they are!!! It gives me the creeps to be on someone`s fav list you have never even heard of!!! Delete, delete, delete!!!!!

MM - you are right in my case. I did that with a couple profiles I came across. Now onthebus has made me feel dirty, so I went to my favourites and deleted them.

I've done that myself. The numbers start creeping up with people you don't know or never hear from. I remove myself from lists frequently.

I have folks on my favs list that I like to read their posts...always funny...odd but otb you know you are one of them hehe. :) And I am on fav's lists and I don't know some of the folks...but if they are forum buddys I have found that they will email me first and tell me they like my posts and ask if they can add me. That's happened several times.

On the flip...I have a few folks who I decided not to go out with who lurk and read all of my posts...you can tell when they email you minutes after you post something about your personal life all kinds of pissed. Weird eh?

@smile - that is way more than weird - that is down right creepy. There is a way to block people right?
