Does this piss anyone else off? It's so fucking irritating.
Discuss.

Doesn't bother me a damn bit (and no mine is not set on private) to each their own.

I keep all of my profiles private.

You tellin lies and some mo' shit.
That shit gets on my everlasting nerve. I was just cruising throught Downe.com and almost EVERY damn profile was set on private. I don't understand the concept...what's the point of joining a networking website if nobody can network with you? th' hell?

Care to tell me why? I'm just curious. I don't understand why people do it.

Set to private on what?

JustErin said:

None of their interests or anything shows up, you can't see their pics. You know, the stuff you would want to see in order to determine whether or not you want to send someone a friend request.

ScarletScandal said:

Nope, does not worry me, if i want you as a friend i will invite you, just like i would in my home. If you got a problem with my privacy then back the fuck away, i dont want you as a buddy

ScarletScandal said:

If you're talking about myspace, I think it's great.
Especially for young ones who only accept friend requests from those who know them in real life (you need to know either their e-mail or last name).

If you don't like them afterwards though, why don't you just delete them.

ScarletScandal said:

You mean the ones who don't want to be friends with people who choose their friends according to someone's picture?

ScarletScandal said:

If you're talking about myspace and facebook and the like, it's cause my stuff is none of anyone's business. I don't use those to make friends, but keep up with the ones I already have.

CarrieMpls said:

exactly

ArielB said:

OOOH!!! You better shut up!
I think that's mainly why they do it which is just so fucking stupid. Sometimes I wish I wasn't gay. I would have a MILLION girlfriends. I can't deal with the superDUPERficiality at all. I mean, shit, I lot of those guys were cute, but there were CUTER guys on there who didn't have their profile set to private. gah....No, I wasn't on myspace. I fucking hate myspace. I was on Downe.com. It's like Myspace but nothing but gay folks.

rushing07 said:

Yep!

Well, I mostly go on gay networking websites looking for hot messes...I SHOULD do a thread on it...

CarrieMpls said:

Oh.
Your answer sucks.
Thanks for playing though
So basically, you use your profile as an online address book?

ScarletScandal said:

I think that people make their profiles private to stop spammers and all the other junk that is out there.

So basically you are cruising for ass and wanna see pictures?


Well guess what, that is one of the main reasons people set them to private

mdiver said:

That's a big part of it too. There are dating sites for that kind of thing.

CarrieMpls said:

Yeah, if you want ass, come to the org

mdiver said:

Oh. no.
If I want to cruise to ass, I'll go to Adam4Adam, Manhunt, Craigslist, Dudesnude. I'm looking for FRIENDS on those websites. How the fuck do people hook up on Myspace anyway?

I am on one gay profile website and its kinda limited in functions
but I do state that I kindly ask for no friend requests from anybody who's never said a word to me and no nudie pics.
Im pretty familiar with male anatomy, thank u.

I go to that website strictly for a good laugh or to look up what ppl are listening to. Sometimes I talk to ppl about what they do in life.

WTH ?

"piss" me off" cuz of their choice -

Not at all

I do not want to even imagine feeling "pissed off" because of something so ...

NOT important

rushing07 said:

Do you go on there to meet new people? If so, then what's the point of not taking requests from people who you might potentially become friends with?

ScarletScandal said:

Most ppl on such websites just add your for the sake of adding.
How can you have 1560 friends??? Seriously.
I wanna make friends with interesting ppl, who can maintain a conversation
that goes beyond: hey, ur hot. hit me up.

mdiver said:

And start a "Pic of orger" thread and go from there.

*INPUT NOT VALID*

superspaceboy said:

Exactly

I have everything set to private.

I have no interest in making new friends, just keeping up with what's going on around town in terms of events.
