So many "LIKES"....So little "HI's". What gives?

How is it that I could get so many men to "LIKE" me, but so little of them actually initiate conversation with me? Am I missing something?

Is it a ploy by CS to send "LIKES" from unsuspecting candidates to make me feel 'liked'? Is it that those men are too shy to say "Hi", so they're hoping that I would say it first (which I've done once or twice)?

For me, sending a "LIKE" means more than just "I like you/dig your profile". It also means 'let's chat a bit to find out more'. Even when I see a profile that I like, I won't usually send a "LIKE". Instead, I'd say "Hi/Hello" and say what I like on his profile to the actual person (his pet, profile content, etc), even if I may not be interested in him, or think that he might not be interested in me.

So...what's the deal? Does this "LIKE" thing have a real purpose that I'm ignorant of? Help a sista out...:)

Here is what I would do:
The ones you would want a convo with you send a like back, the ones you do not you don't.

Simple as.

Yes, for some it's easier to just like. Those will look for the like back.
The others jus't ignore them, not sure what their on about.
Thanks G, will do:)thumbs up
Well, maybe they are blocked and can only send you a like, for example.

Is that what happened with you Teddy?
hm. We could say it did happen to me aye...
Well, I don't recall having done so, but you may have done/said something that caused that reaction. Sorry...:(
I just checked my "blocked list" Teddy, but you're NOT on it. So I don't know what's what...:(
Just figured it out...I blocked you 'geographically', so I'll fix in a bit.
I don't mind the likes because I can delete them, in blocks usually, but can't delete the Favourites so I don't 'like' them. laugh
Hmmmn...just goes to show how ineffective the "LIKES" system seems to be. Perhaps the 'powers that be' need to take notice and re-design this aspect of the dating process.professor
@OP I get more than enough of the 'hi!' mail, but the number who exceed half my age, are not strikingly good looking, and do not live in America is in single digit territory. Usually I am about grandpa age. The number who respond with appropriate interests and age I can count on my thumbs.
All the more reason for me to ignore the "LIKES", and focus on communicating directly (I guess).
That was my comment. Not sure what caused the "profile deleted?" and "unknown" tags, though...hmmm sigh
I think it maybe there way of a first introduction. If you like back they then may mail you.

I suppose it is like a shy person giving you chocs firstgrin THEN????

like you i just delete most thanks for trying grin was my thought laugh
laugh wine
