This is not directed to the constant memebers of pixies, but more to the casual members.

Ever since DP and I posted pix on the site she has been getting a lot of people IMing her to say hi and be friendly. That's great, we're both all about meeting new people, and neither of us are shy.
However most of the pix are posted under my Username, so occasionally I get random IM's from users stopping by to say hi. That's fine by me. Most of the time I am bored anyway.
But of the 4-5 times this happened the conversation has gone something like:

Them: "Hey"
Me: "Hey"
Them: "Saw your pics on pixies. Very hot"
Me: "Thanx"
Them: "You have a very lucky boyfriend"
Me: "I am the boyfriend. You're thinking of DP"
Them: "Oh sorry"
Me: "It's okay. And yes, I do feel lucky"
Them: "Great, Bye"

Is there something wrong with talking to me just cause I'm the guy in the relationship? It's not like i'm going to try to cyber with you, and if the only reason you are IMing me thinking i'm someone else is the possible chance to cyber, I'd suggest not choosing people who are in relationships.

Sorry, this might be nothing. But it's happened to me twice today and the second time the guy blocked me to make it look like he logged off. That's kinda gets to me.

I totally agree! Absolutely, 100%!!!!


You have a very lucky boyfriend!









Ok, stupid jokes aside, I agree with you too. I'm sure it's nice to hear the great feedback on your and DP's pics, but it'd be nice to have someone talk to YOU too. It's just polite.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Really I wouldn't care if they did or did not talk to me. But it gets on my nerves when people suddenly end a conversation because I'm not who they thought I was.

Well your sig line may be sending a mix signal if they are under the impression you are the she in the couple. And they may want to play/train with her and not you necessarily. Also if they think they are chatting up a girl and surprise it's a boy they may be embarrassed. If it's a really big problem for you then you could remove you IM information or possibly make your sig line less inviting and your av obviously male (not that it isn't). Not sure...just some ideas.

Lilth I think it really comes down to the embarasement part. As I don't mind people IMing me. It's the sudden "I don't want anything to do with you" attitute I get when they find out I'm a guy.

as a wise woman once told me...some peeps are just assholes.

I, too, got tired of the IM's that they just wanted a cyber. so I changed my location and my sig line and even my Yahoo messenger thingie. There are good peeps out there that may really want to have a real convo (besides doing the Pixies private messaging thimg) so i set up a new Yahoo account. I gave Mayhem my password to it so if there is a particularly persisitant one, He can "talk" to them......oh i am so naughty, lol

i just got to know when to take the good with the not so good... it just comes with the territory of posting pics. at least we aren't a real meat market like *clears throat* other ameteur sites, there is a great sense of family here.

Sorry to hear you've had these problems .... hope it happens less often in the future ..


PF ... LOL at the fly fishin' pic!!!!

I too understand exactly what you are saying. I too enjoy a good conversation every once in a while.

PLEASE DONT KILL ME FOR SAYING THIS

There is a bit more to life than sex....although it is fun tooo.

Just my two cents..

"Your body as well as mine has needs. This is juat a little foreplay to highten our desire for each other. If we play out the game of love to it's natural conclusion, you'll experience fulfillment. Give yourself up to me and I'll guide you along the path to pareadise. Together we will be like fire and ice, love and hate, life and death." Virginia Henley

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.

^^^ I agree with you txgrneyes

I have lots of people on my messenger list, but only a handful want to have real conversations The others get ignored.

Is the love I gave her in the past, gonna be enough to last, if tomorrow never comes........

I've had it happen to me, too. As soon as the guy figures out I'm not up for a booty call........and that I occasionally type with *both* hands..........and use polysyllabic words.........they're gone.

That's why I stick with you all here.
