Post other things that bother you here.


I don't see how that's so bad. Maybe if I knew the context.


It's pretty bad. Why does the context matter?


Because I can't see how it's creepy. It's cheesy for sure, but how is it creepy?

because it's an intimate term, and she didn't even know the guy.

It's creepy because it's patronising and condescending.
Unless it's developed as a pet name while you're in a couple, the above applies. Being spoken down to like a pet from a random guy isn't cheezy, it's creepy.

One that really creeped me out a few months ago..it wasn't a message.

One site I use lets you see the people that have viewed your profile. So there it was a username with a rather small picture (hard to see for a thumbnail) so I clicked it.

60 something year old woman that in the profile had written that she was not available to go out on a saturday because it was her game day with her women friends.

I found the fact that a 60yr old was clicking on my profile rather hilarious so I ignored it.


On saturday.. I find that 8 other 60 year olds has seen my profile.


I got my own fan club.
:tired: :eew:

Or, hopefully "Hey, that's Dorothy's grandson".

I actually looked recently and saw that a girl who was a 70-something percent match from Oslo, Norway saw my profile. I must have been solidly baffled for a good minute or so trying to figure out how someone that far away with less than a 90% match rate would even find my profile. Then it dawned on me.....oh yeah....WP.
