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.
