So, instead of responding "at all", or as you said, "dive in and chat"..just close the IM window. Yes, I said "dive in and chat," because in the situation *I* had in mind, it was a normal conversation example where a person would be asked something like "hey, what do you like to do for fun?" and the other person would respond with a "read my profile," which IMO is rude. What ANY of that has to do with being harassed I have absolutely zero idea. I wasn't referring to that at all. I believe that this came up because someone discussed having put in their profile "I am not interested in dating". So, while the IM message may be innocuous (not being "harassed"), "dating" could also mean being propositioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't run into that a whole lot around here and was mostly just talking about striking up a normal conversation on line in a store or something. Nothing that deep. I chat with random strangers a lot, especially standing around waiting on long lines. I have the same approach in SL, really. I'm just a chatty gal, what can I say. It never bugs me if someone asks me a question that's already answered in my profile. I just answer it and keep it movin'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having to change what I said in mine, because they were thinking I was like a milf or something and here to sneak around on my husband.. lol All it said was something like, My husband hates how much shopping I do in here..

And like I said, I only really read profiles in an attempt to find other goofballs to chat with. I'm not in the dating scene here, so I don't give two squats about a person's entire life story or here's why I'm amazing and you should date me pitch (usually found in Picks). 😂 I'm also rarely in human form, so it's not like men are hitting me up to begin with (unless they like frogs or undead chicks - in my experience, most do not. I'm pretty safe as a skelly or somethin'.). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try being the only First Nations in the whole school of all white. Bullying would be putting it mildly. Torture is more accurate. It was the same thing in Chicago and pretty much anywhere we went.. Then when you get to middle school and high school the boys start to get more and more friendly.. Not because they want to be friends though.

My father just looked at that long, long list of text charges and I just seen him getting madder and madder the closer he would get to the bottom of the list.. lol We were on a family plan and he cut off any texting from then on or get your own plan.. hehehe The worst part about having the device was learning the text slang and emojis.

No but seriously, lots of us who are aren't here to date. We just like making cute/creative/frightening/nightmare fuel avatars and socializing and taking pics and going to events on occasion and shopping our faces off and whatnot.
