AFF Instant Messaging ???

AFF Instant Messaging ??? So we don't use it a lot, but hear a lot of complaints. We have always wondered what everyone else's view of the state of IM's. Aside from the fact that 1/2 the peeps are not actually there , ( we are well aware of metrics and suspect they "hold" members online when they are actually signed out, or the just close a window and don't actually sign out (guilty) and may have to wait to be purged prior to actually being not shown online) but are wondering what others think about using im? We message people ( sometime just out of curiosity, but never people that we may not be interested in) often, but only get responds 1 % of the time. 5 or 10 % of the time we see these couples view our profile but never even say hi. Now we have to say we almost never im couples who are not pretty well interested in the exact same thing as us down to ages, sexualities, ect ect. (call us picky) .We have a hard time believing they are serious if they don't at least want to say hi, and find out more about ourselves. Now we have had many who have responded and we chat with occasionally, and for what-ever reason they have rejected us for x reason. We always appreciate that they have the time to at least let us know we are x and not desirable to them. Gotta luv that , now we have an understanding. But when you never respond, but visit our profile almost daily , well ???. Just thought of it, what do others think of those who always visit your profile , but never want to even say hi? Now we know when we post pics/vids they are out there for all. We also have 1000's of viewers the odd nights we turn on the cam on.......hell we are nudists so being nekid gets us over 1000 views in a couple of hours of sitting around? If your so interested in the pics, why not at least say hi??? Perhaps we shouldn't restrict our contacts to local people? Maybe their worried about getting to close? Never fear we rarely try to contact local people who have a lot of out of town friends. Last point..... everyone says im doesn't work, we feel like all chat platforms now-a-days they are victims of smart phones. 90% of people in rooms now have their phones in their pockets/purses or what-ever. No one is chained to their pc so they turn on their phone, they are signed into multiple programs and they pay attention to next to none. now chats are 5 mins between posts so if you request a chat wait for 5 to 30 mins to find out if they are actually even online. We feel it is somewhat rude, although we realize most people don't realize it. Are we out to lunch, too old school , ??? |

Wonderful approach on the subject of IM on this site. And I have to agree that a lot of people are using their smart phone for the site and kind of not pay close attention to the going on. The site has been known to say that users are online and in IM when even though they are logged off. As for the daily viewing from people. The site has been like that for years. Repeatly saying that profiles have viewed your profile even though they haven't. I think the site is set up that way to draw more people into thinking that their own profiles are being viewed 100's of times just to keep the user online or coming back to log on. I hope you all the success in your adventure on here. Have fun. Please feel free to read my blog at Losnewf Thoughts

My experience is a VERY low response rate as well. I sometimes ask for a response to know whether my messages are actually delivered by Senior Sizzle. A simple response of "sorry, not interested in guys your age or height or whatever" would be nice.

We often wonder about site generated views. People come into a chat room, you say hi but they do not respond...….. 20 seconds later you see them check your profile. Likely hovering over your profile to check basic stats, but if you come into a room and someone says hi, like why not at least say hi back. Quite anti social from our perspective. We can understand shy, we are quite shy at 1st ourselves, but it's the internet. Guess that's the point, it's the internet and no one has to conform to social norms or behaviours.
