What not to do...

[FaithfulShade]

So, this happened a while ago:

f****5: "whats up"
me: "Who is this?"
f****5: "bored person"
me: "From? Who are you messaging? (several Yahoo accts here)"
f****5: "lol, literotica"
me: "Oh, bored boy looking for any female in hopes of getting off? Sorry, I don't do unsolicited Yahoo chat."
​

Yes, I made a snap assessment but I don't think I was wrong. It could have gone differently if the initial message had been "Hi, I'm John, I see that you're a Literotica member. I'm looking for some sexy chat. Care to talk?"

Is some social nicety that hard? Really, this is not too much to ask. Especially when you want something from someone.

Now, that doesn't mean I would/could have taken you up on a request for sexy chat then and there but it would be much more likely that I'd have countered with an offer to add you to my messenger, get to know you or give an idea of when would be a better time to have a sexy chat.

Oh, and once you've messaged someone, change yourself to visible until after there's a determinant conversation that one or both aren't interested. It makes one feel stalked.

Until this happened, I'd actually forgotten I'd put my YIM address in my profile. Might have to remove it now, anyway.

Agree you are right

I agree that "what's up" and "bored person" aren't exactly great hook lines, but it does seem like a bit of a snap assessment to me. Having your YIM address in your profile can be interpreted as an invitation for people to contact you (unsolicited or otherwise). You do mention in your past posts that you are a gamer - perhaps he (if it was a he that messaged you; I suppose it could've been a she) wanted to talk to you about that.

If you have a Yahoo icon on your profile, or email address you will get unsolicited approaches.

They dont usually worry me, it is easy to figure out if you want to speak to that person

It's like watching Tarzan try to be romantic.

"Me horny! You make sexy talk now so me can touch self. Me no care what you do to you. Only care about me."

I honestly don't get it. What's the thrill in getting someone to put sexy words on an IM when that's ALL it is? Just type whatever you want to read yourself and read it back to yourself. You'll get the same effect!

I should make a website that just has constant streaming sexual sentences popping up in an IM type window. they will be generic sentences that just keep repeating on a loop. Things like "Now touch yourself" and "Oh yeah....I'm getting wet" will just pop up in the message screen every 8 seconds. And the viewer can even tpye messages back to the computer. They won't be read by anyone and won't affect the output of my looped sexy messages, but if it makes the viewer feel better to pretend he's interacting...so be it.

But you want to know the REALLY sad part? If I did make such a website...I'll bet you vast sums of money that it would be popular!!!!

Exactly, it's a common courtesy thing. The problem is that guys who are smart enough to already know this don't need it explained again, and the guys who aren't smart enough to know this probably aren't smart enough to heed your advice.

Yeah, I admitted it was snap. But really, the same response applies to someone who wanted to talk about games too... Introduce yourself and be upfront about your intent. If the person had said something like "What do you think about xyzgame?" it would have been a different response and there could have been a conversation, even if the goal was the same.

LMAO! Thanks for that.

Well, you know lots of people say "I'm my own type" so I can see this kind of website being very popular. Perhaps the output can be varied by the input... meaning your chat with a 'bot is randomized nearly to the point you wouldn't be able to tell you weren't talking to a human. I'm guessing those exist already. If not, we should get on it. There's money to be made! Then we just paste the link into every post that has multiple self-bumps.

You didn't snap too quickly. The IMer was rude and presumptious. Just having your IM name out there doesn't mean it's an open invite.

My address is listed in the phone book. That doesnt' mean anyoen who looks me up is welcome to come in the front door unannounced.

I know the smart guys know this... I just felt like "beating a dead horse."

Hey, you're a web designer, right? I could write the lines and you coudl code the whole thing.

We sell advertising space to porn sites and rake in the bucks!

I think the most fun would be coming up with the stock responses which could vary based on user preferences. Here's a mediocre example (because this is easier to visualize than articulate and creativity is easier in-the-moment):

User: I'm sooo hard right now, I'm gonna cum.​

Possible responses:

bot a: Let me help you with that, <endearment> -licks lips-
bot b: -shoves a dildo in your ass-
bot c: So? Go away troll.​

Another thought that comes to mind... sexy Madlibs.

Are there any other kind?

 

[FaithfulShade]

Are there any other kind?

Honestly, I haven't thought about them since I was a kid so it really just occurred to me now and ohhh... apparently there's an app for that! Uh oh.

Interestingly, there already are ads like that - you'll see them if you happen to visit certain, ah... other adult websites. They're disguised as random chat requests - and some even start insulting you if you don't respond!

So it would appear that we've finally discovered what all the random PMers do for work...

I thought i was the only person getting foolishness like this.

Oh yeah I think I've seen those. Well it was fun while I thought we had an original idea here...

 

[SmilingGuy_]

Oh no...not by a long shot.

I'm a guy. My screen name makes that very clear.

And yet, I get random PM's from guys asking me what makes my pussy wet. It's like they just play a numbers game where they mass PM as many screen names as they can find randomly hoping that 1 person will respond with 4 letter words. (And I'm pretty sure "Go fuck yourself!" qualifies!)

Don't give up so easily!!! Just tweak it a little what if the program sent the user random Google images of naked body parts?

Now that one I know I've seen.

Haven't you seen the profile pics of random hot people with captions that say "22, Single, lives in INSERT YOUR TOWN NAME HERE" where it reads your IP and figures out where you are and tries to trick you into thinking they are real ads.

Fortunately I'm much too smart for that. I figured out they weren't real after 30 or 40 clicks.

No I can't say that i have. However, that is not what i meant. I was thinking more like if the user inputs show me your tits it sends him a pic of breast.

 

[FaithfulShade]

Nope! I should have figured it would happen when I put my YIM name in my profile but it didn't occur to me. Naive, I guess.

 

[nedthebundler]

This place is no different than any other chat, messaging, meetup, etc, kind of place. I used to chat a lot on AFF, and most of the women I knew there had the same problem.

They would get smothered in witty ( as in - Hey! wanna fuck? ) one line e-mails. If two women lived in the same area and knew each other, they would both get the same e-mail from the same loser(s).

I'd liken it to the flyers you get on your vehicle at the mall, they're working the numbers thing in the hopes that someone responds.

Annoying for the women? Most certainly. But it does make all us regular guys that try to use the big head more often than the little one look so much better.

Should I send them a "Thank you?"

 

[SmilingGuy_]

I like it. I like it a lot.

To make it more versitle we'd need to make sure it recognized all the variations for ways to say "tits". So we'd have to sit down and think of a list like..

Tits
Boobs
Breasts
Fun bags
Knockers
Udders
Hooters
Honkers
Bresticles
Sweater Stretchers
Cum Targets
etc etc etc

Remember our target audience is the not so bright men who can't have a normal conversation. So you have to make sure it recognizes the kind of language such a guy would think would turn a woman on. (Shocking as it is that most women don't prefer to call their boobs "cum targets")

It's like a blind person doing drive-by shootings, eventually they'll get a hit. Perhaps your chat suitors can't see well by then and think they'll be the "SmilingGuy" when you're finished with them.
