I uploaded this on my blog but then thought it would be good to get comments on it in the Forum as well. What do you think about this chain of events? What would you have said? Is she right?

Not long ago I commented on a female member?s photos and told her, ?You have an amazing figure?. She then added me to her Friends list and I in turn added her to mine. Then today, and to my surprise she deleted me from her Friends list and I responded with, ?Sorry to see you take me off your friends list?. Now, this is where her true identity came out. She replied, ?VOTE YOU CHEAP BASTARD!!!?.

To me, when you give someone a complement, it shows respect. When you take the time to send a Private Chat message to another it shows interest. Now how I went from being complementary and respectful to being a CHEAP BASTARD, I?m not sure. I responded to the young (middle aged) lady as so:

?Just to be clear, I don't play games, it's not my style. And, if I were to give you points however, you would at the very least have to be not only on my friends list but have made an effort to actually prove yourself a friend worthy of my respect and admiration through some type of meaningful correspondence. Asking for something for nothing cheapens oneself, not the other way around.

So, I am truly apologetic for your dismay with me but don't think you'll ever get anything from me. As others who have been here as long or longer than I, which is a pretty long time, I'm a pretty good guy to get to know and bastard isn?t how most of them would characterize me. In parting, you?re a fantastic looking woman and I wish you great success in your quest for points. Cheers.?

I?m not naming names here and I?m not angry, just very disappointed. For the rest of the site members, beware, there are those out there who don?t care to get to know you, they only want to see what they can get from you. If having this information is helpful, great. If not, perhaps it is at least insightful.
