That’s a good one.

How about I contribute....

—- the constant negativity
—- it gives some people anxiety worrying about what other people think of what they post. .
—- it makes some egos grow.
—- it’s a waste of time for some.
—- it doesn’t replace natural/real interaction


::hmmm:


Go ahead

LeeCharming: You have been one of the nicest newcomers on here and I think it is pure jealously of some women to do what they do? Some who lack the looks, some who lack the personality, some who lack the motivation, some who lack the ability to converse with men and impress men, some who fear losing the attention.

Not everyone will like us, but the one's that do, are the one's we should be thinking about and enjoying talking too...forget the others...I do...I ignore them


Thank You hug

I have no clue why it has to be a competition if anything I've helped many woman on other sites who approached me about their weight they're looking fab.

Forum posters and bloggers who are downright abusive, bullying and rude which they wouldn’t have the guts to be if face to face in real life.

Yes Lee I agree and over the three years I have been here there have been several and it has always been my poilcy to ignore and not react. But just occasionally someone just goes too far and tips me over the edge of tolerance.
Anyway yep, have to be how kaylana suggests on her thread.....learn to not be offended......somehow! handshake

I have encounter many trolls and I know what their agenda is...I wrote a blog about them, if you want to read it? They want you to react, because they get sick enjoyment out of getting you to blow a gasket and their other tactic is to talk about you behind your back or write slanderous threads about you....Ignore them and you win the gamethumbs up

thumbs up yep, instead of folks just enjoying meeting people of various backgrounds and cultures and learning their interests or whatever, I see so much negativity with so many egotistical, rule the world, hear me roar, only my writing style works type folks. It’s yucky. It’s kind of crazy...... oh well, that’s life in social media I never expected..... wave

Because they sell your personal information to marketing companies, and because its the domain of bored office girls.

Probably (name 10 reasons why some avoid/do not like) but I´m lazy today lol!
I like Social Media, it´s ok and it offers a lot of possibilities to meet and interact with a bunch of people otherwise it could be impossible but....we must choose wisely wink who deserves our attention and who doesn´t.

I do not see why do I have to talk/interact with people who I´ll do not fancy in RL, why? just because I´m in virtual world I must like everybody? ha! no.

I´ll be polite and educate with all around but no more that.

It's too much information and it's too direct. We have loads of time to get to know each other and I'd prefer we did that over a world of relentless and frankly shameless self-promotion.

I can name why I am not much a fan.

It's like a high school popularity contest .
A lot of people fake their life
I don't need to know what you ate (insert picture)
It's a venting arena.

Pretty much agree with what everyone said.

It has been the best and worst place for me, as it can be for eveyone.

If it teaches you anything about your real life its to just put your energy towards the best parts..best people and hopefully the negative will drift away.

I have spoken to a number of good people on this site, but I have also had attention seekers attacking me for my opinions and trying to dissect my posts...I don't mid a good debate, but don't go out of my way to respond to those, who are out to cause arguments, because they have nothing valid to contribute...

You can throw questions at me and try to interrogate me like you are a judge, but if you do something like that, then you will get nothing in return...I don't respond to bully boy tactics and unprovoked attacks.

The trolls spoil some of these threads and they have driven away a large number of posters...Who want to lot in to very long winded, hateful, angry, aggressive, judgmental assaults, day in and day out, every time they comment on a subject?

Sadly for the trolls I have a giant backbone and carry on regardless of their nonsenseprofessor
