There is a certain male-based chat site that I frequent and on there I often see escorts who I have seen on a similar website I also advertise on. Just yesterday I seen someone who used to advertise on the same chat-site back home, and ended up moving to the same city I did! So I sent a quick IM saying, "hi, I recognized you from back home, was just saying hello."  Didnt even respond. I have said hi to a couple other escorts online, and also didnt get response.

However, I have had 2 other escorts Instant Message me in the past just to say hi, and I say hi back and maybe have a quick chat, SMALL TALK, thats it. Im not trying to get into anyone's business or ask questions, I admit I may be bored just waiting...and seeing someone who's in the same shoes you just want to greet them. Instead they just ignore me completely and make it seem like Im intruding on them.

I understand there's timewasters out there and some dont even like an IM unless its from a client, and I can be the same way...and these guys couldnt even be percieved as competition to me, so jealous would be unnecessary. to me I see it as in real life. If they're in the same room as someone and they greet you, doesnt mean they have to be a stuckup cunt.

What makes you think that just because you dont like my posts that others will follow in suit? I'm not concerned as of what you think about me or my stories. Im sure someone has probably learned something from them. If you dont like them, dont post or read them then.

I'm just saying.  And you know the answers to your own question there because we had our row in pm's a while ago.  I know about some others as they have told me.

Its not a matter of just not reading and not posting, you have alot to say and you are in this forum as much as anyone else.  That is an option that some have chosen (there are some who choose to ignore your posts, they are the ones who have told me) but its not my way.  Just because i dont like you doesnt mean i cant have and share an opinion,shit, i could even agree with you from time to time (I just doubt it would be very often).  You asked the question of why someone might not want to say hi to you, i gave my opinion. 

I'm not trying to be a bitch, i was just using myself as an example.  My point really is that you and i both know that i dont like most of your opinions or the way that you dramatise situations and make something out of nothing so if you saw me on another forum and chose to say hi to me in a PM i would most likely ignore you too.  I wouldnt want to give you the impression that we had something in common just because we post on the same sites.  What if you exchanged a few pm's then wrote something on the forum that made it look like we were buddies?  others then might think that i agreed with your opinions or your actions etc and i wouldnt want to be associated with you so i would choose to ignore you instead.  Do you see what i mean?

This would be a boring old world if we liked and got on with everyone, the beauty of the internet is that we can interact with whom ever we choose and ignore whom ever we choose but there is no point in taking something like a non replied to email to heart.

Who knows, maybe they just havent had time to reply.  Any one who has sent me an email or PM from saafe will know that i might have popped in and written a couple of posts in a day but i dont get around to doing my emails everyday.  I dont see them posting about it though, they just wait till i get the time. 

Chill out, life is to short to give a shit about whether people on the internet like you or not.

Ok y'all are right, thanks for the encouragement. I wasnt making a big deal out of it, but I had just wanted to ask anyway. I have met people who leave their computers on all day and may be in a chat room all day...which makes them seem like they're online when they're not...hence, unaswered IM's. But I think its stupid to be in a chatroom and not physically be there, regardless of the popular excuse, "well I have a life and other things to do" 

But yea, no hard feelings here. Guess we have to just say..."oh well, fuck it". Thats what the forums are for, for when you need to talk about things like this.

Im chillin! 

I agree with everyone and I'm sure I have probably p***ed a few people off by not responding to their emails or if I do so days, weeks later, I actually keep an eye on msn and yahoomsn, but am very rarely visible and if I can log on anywhere invisible I do, just so I don't offend people when I don't feel like chatting or am busy. I tend to open most forums, all my email accounts and any sites I'm working with and only close them/log off when I'm sure I won't want/need to go back to them and if I'm at home for a couple of days without going out that could be constant, it will even stay on over night.

Never mean to favour anyone over someone else or disregard someone, but no-one can do everything and be everywhere at the same time.

None of us are great adverts for energy saving then are we    

actually if you have a desktop computer it lasts longer when you keep it on all the time; however the reverse is true for a laptop.

  Oh crap - really? Why, what happens? I have my laptop constanly connected to mains power and internet, unless I take it with me somewhere or take it to bed with me.

What should I be doing?
