how many have you added as favourites ?
Posted: 3/26/2008 1:28:09 AM
I have read a few threads about favourites (UK spelling) and if they are a good idea or not. I have added a few people as favourites primarily to book mark them so I can contact at a later date as I do not have a 24hr internet connection. Now the question is;

How many people have you added to your favourites list?

Also at the bottom of your profile it says…person Appears on xxx members favorites lists

Would it be a good idea to have next to it…and favours xxx members.

How many people would you consider too many/too few and would you be able to more easily see players this way.

Your opinions please…

Like Posh, I'm on a lot and have a lot of favourites because I've met so many lovely people through hosting. The favourites lists can therefore be a bit misleading IMO, Anyway, what does it matter? A player might only have one or two on his/her list at a time anyway. Not to be used as an indicator methinks.

I have 15, 1 who I regularly chat to, 2 ladies who are meeting up with me before a meet which is coming up and the rest are forum buddies from ages ago.

I don't put much into favourite lists. I get a lot of people who add me and never get in touch and I usually have a clear out of those who have added me every now and then.

I haven't added any, most of the guys who have added me have never been in touch - I don't really see the point of the it but people use the site in different ways so each to thier own.

Hi Aitch, long time no whatsit

My faves list and the ones I'm on vary from week to week. I have a core of people ( girls as well as guys ) who I chat to regularly. Some people leave while others just drift off to someone else. I do delete them from mine if they haven't been online or we haven't chatted for a while. As for the ones who have added me, that number goes up and down like a yoyo Guys add me then never get in touch so I delete them after a while. If they haven't messaged in a few days, I don't see the point in my being on theirs. I find that bit a little creepy.

I have 4 on my own faves list but, routinely go through the list of people that have added me to their faves list and delete those that have been offensive or whose profiles irk me.

I haven't added any as favourites. I think there is about 10 *goes to check* no 12 who have added me and I only speak to 1 of them and only 2 of the others have messaged me. I find it a bit weird but I guess they have their reasons.

I get the feeling that people add you to their favourites list in the hope that you will contact them and say thank you for adding me blah blah blah.
I could be wrong but it just seems like it is a method used by those without much to say who would normally utilise the 'quick flirt' thing they have on some other sites.

I am always worried about the mental state of someone who would add me as a favourite, so unless we have chatted and then done the 'add favourites' thing I will ignore them.

now on 211 i think favs?i dont really know why


Its because you have big boobs.

This site is so sexist, no one adds me to their favourites because of the size of my boobs :'(.

In all seriousness, the whole Favourites thing is a bunch of crapola, I have like 4 people on my favourites list, 1 because I actually semi like her, 1 because I felt sorry for her and she was being far too nice for me not to (and now has gone abit stalkerish, text messages at 6am etc etc. 1 because I met her on holiday and then she messaged me on here shortly after, wooo spooky?! and 1 that I've met from here and am quite good friends with. I don't really know why I added them to my favourites list, I have the ones I want to talk tos phone numbers and on msn, but hey o I feel rude not returning the favour!

I cant remember. I usually add people I speak to from the forums and a few men that I fancy. That's it really.

I had about 10 i think added me in the first few days i was on here,then after mailing/chatting i was removed as most were just twats wanting a leg over and im NOT that easy
I have a few favourites i have added,some because their profiles are a really good read or i knew them anyway.

I'm with OP. I have used them as bookmarks for people I planned to contact. Occasionly when I've gone back I've changed my mind, so don't bother. It would be nice if we could use them as a way of making eye contact as it were, but otherwise they're useless. Just call them bookmarks and be done with it!

I've added 7 i think and i talk to them all.
i don't really see the point in favourites either, unless you're going to talk to them all.

i saw someone's profile a while back with over 200 hundred favourites, now i'm sure that person didn't talk to them all. sometimes i think people just leave them there to make themselves look good, but others i think genuinely do chat with all of theirs.

I get added a lot to favourites but I go through them every so often and delete the ones off that don't message or that I don't really talk to.

How can they be favourites if you hardly talk to them?

Zero!

I only add someone as a favourite when we've exchanged numerous emails.

Besides that, what is the point of adding someone when you don't speak to them?

I have added one a while ago as she was expecially interesting but that was it. There's more interesting women out there and I should probably add and use as bookmark. I might start doing it actually...

What really amuses me is the testimonials...now they are ridiculous...:-)

I will not just ignore - I will delete the ones who add me as their fav without any prior communication.

I do not need my ego massaged by being on million strangers fav lists, thanks.

Personally have 5 favourites only and those are people I exchange occasional email with as we do have something (and NOT dating related) in common.

I think i have 3 in my favourites and i am on 3 members faves too i think.
I think it is a bit mad when people add you as a favourite without even saying 'hi'.

I see some people are on 83 people's lists and wonder HTH?
