Why do men go so hostile when you tell them you don't want their MSN or Yahoo!

I have only been on POF for a couple of days. And it seems when you don't want to give a guy your MSN or Yahoo they get nasty on you. They ask for it after 20 seconds of chatting! You know how many guys I would have on my MSN. I would rather chat with you on here at least until I've gotten to know you. It is free afterall, so you can't use that as an excuse..........so no need to yell. I am a very nice person, I'm definately not on here to play anyone.

Anyone else having this problem? Or is it just be who attracts the nasty ones.

Since you've only been here for a couple of days so far....just wait till they start asking you for your phone number within 30 seconds of chatting....and then get all pissy when you won't give that to them either! I too prefer to get to know someone here a bit better via emails or IM first before ever giving out my personal messenger address, only my friends have that one.

Happens alot. I just ignore that request and answer the rest of the email and if that is the only thing in the email I probably wouldn't even respond. Also the phone number thing too... not sure what makes them think I want to immediately jump into a phone convo and you'd think if they bring it up they should make the call but I have gotten a telephone number through email asking me to call them, long distance..... as if..

I just add them anyway.
I just hate having to block them if they get weird on me.
I do prefer using PoF to get to know someone better before moving to IM.

I just don't get why some guys are so quick to give out their phone numbers, either.

I wouldn't worry about it. In a round about way they are doing you a favour. If they react like that under those circumstances well then ................? I'm sure you can finish that thought!

I prefer to compare it to prison movies.

You know how when a new prisoners arrives and the "old timers" are cat calling and yelling FRESH MEAT!!

I have asked the same question to a friend of mine, she had no answer for me. So I'm curious, is there an answer to this question in here somewhere? Surely lazysunday's post can't be the only answer... I've never had anyone get nasty about it on here tho. I agree with the other posters. Hey, what's the rush! Maybe those people in a rush, just aren't that careful about finding a seriously good catch.

Unfortunately some guys aren't smart enough to hear the words "not interested"..lol....don't fret..you're doing the right thing in refusing to let them have access to you...it's your life...take charge of it,
as for my Msn address...strictly given if asked for..I like privacy as much as I can keep it.

Because MSN and Yahoo has the webcam feature. They want to see YOU naked, or they want you to see THEM naked.

I have not yet asked anyone from here for Yahoo or MSN or any other IM infor that I can recall, even though I have them all and I don't mind giving it out. I tend to stay hidden all the time and people just shoot messages at me if they want me. If I'm busy I just don't answer. I don't consider it rude because I'm invisible - they have no idea if I'm here or not. If someone really annoys the crap out of me I just block them.

Looking at it from the other perspective, the IM program on here tends to suck. pop up blockers kill it, and if the person is a novice internet user they don't even realize it's happening - hell, I missed a bunch of IM's until I happened to notice the little icon one day telling me the window was blocked. I don't IM a lot of people on here right away either. I used to at the beginning just to say hi, but no one usually answers (see above reason) so I don't bother most of the time. Now I just send an E-mail and ask if I'm going to try it.

I like to communicate via IM if I have time. You can tell more about a person when they don't have an hour to compose an E-mail and make it perfect before they send it to you. If you are talking real-time they have less time to try to fake yu out and more of the real person shines through....

Speaking of hostility, I got a message titled "Stupid Chink" from an individual because he thought I had blocked him before I even received a message. *scratches head* Then the body of the message was just full of ranting and raving about how retarded I was.

It's lovely being able to hide behind the Internet!

If anything at least you know within a minute whether to block them or not.
I don't understand losers like that. You could just not use the yahoo or IM.
I don't because I think if I mention using it, a woman might think I'm going to be like that.

SaggyPancakes: sorry to hear you had an idiot call you that name. Nice to see your profile is more than 2 lines long too. Usually I'm picking on everybody here, so it's tearing me up being nice. Still that was uncalled for.

Ok I’m stumped on this one.. I cant understand why a man WOULD be mad.. after all, do we rant when we get turned down in person? Well the sane ones don’t. and why should we be angry? Some lady didn’t get past the looks? Big deal my looks are an acquired taste. Do I get mad. Nope. Could it be that a lot of men have ego’s as brittle as a crystal wineglass? Probably. I’ve been there from time to time. I think a lot of the problem is that some men out there think that they are all that and a bag of chips. And that any women they like should be interested in the same way Well to some we are,, and to some ,, not
