A lot of the people on my friends list are people I only talk to in the chat room. I am not big on sitting down and writing an email, would rather have a casual conversation about what ever comes to mind at the moment. Having someone on your friends list makes it easier to see that they are online and in the chat room.
I don't mean to be a wet towel, but it seems to me, more and more of the people asking to be friends: A) don't have a completed profile or send me a message, which is what it says to do on my profile B) have far too many crotch shots as either their profile pic or in their pics C) just don't seem very interested in nudism but seem very interested in couples and females. I think I am taking the stance that "I need a message, or some interaction on a forum or something to determine why I should be freinds with these people." I also still have a whole 'nother level of things going on. I have already met with one couple on here, my father is on here, and I am meeting with another couple that is on here - this weekend. I have high hopes to meet with others on here. I would love to have some way to signify that we are not just friends in a list on a web site, but that we have actually met and hung out
together. It's one thing to see a profile, its a totally different thing to meet someone in the flesh. Thanks Jerry
Well Jerry, you could always list them in a blog entitled "My Best Friends" hehe
Ok, so how do you get the encoding to work? Everytime I paste it in it strips out the 's, I have tried manually adding them, grrrrr.. Thanks Jerry
hehe, me either, I got it right once, then messed it up trying to add to it. Now I can't get the name shortcut to work without all the code because the code disappears when I try to edit it, and comes back after I hit save :( So now I just typed the name. I can still click on the pic to get straight onto their profiles so it doesn't really matter. I notice that is not the case with your friends pic. Don't know how you managed that, hehe, all I did was to copy and paste the pic and it worked. Still, life would be boring if we understood everything :)
We are rather specific as to who we will accept as friends. Our first requirement for getting on our Friends List is if there is a reasonably good chance of meeting in person. We don't want to have a lot of "friends" who we know nothing about and with whom we have very little in common. We are seeking mainly couples and single women. We have a few single men as friends but every individual is evaluated on a case by case basis. We reject all friends requests if they have a blank profile. If their profile is limited to FriendsOnly we write and ask formore detailedinformation. If that is not forthcoming, we reject their request. Of course this is a two way street. We have had several Friends Requests rejected and still don't know the reason why.
From time to time we have had several friends who do not meet our basic criteria. These are people who live in places where we've never been and most likely will never visit. We have had an interesting dialogue with them and learned much about their homeland. Right now I'm sad to say we don't have any of these types of Friends. We love to have a few of these International Friends again.
