I don't want to invoke any negative memories but my curiosity is unsatisfied - what the hell do these guys PMed you about? We're all anonymous on Lemmy and Reddit, nobody knows how we look or where are we from and yet publicly stating your own gender is enough to open the floodgates. It is baffling to me. Don't feel obliged to answer of course if that's a problem.
Going back to the topic - hello! I used today's running routine excuse to treat myself with some sweet snacks. Unfortunately I didn't pick the best ones so I'm left unsatisfied and with a thought that I exceeded my limit. Next time I guess.
To this day it baffles me too! But let's just say general grossness and leave it at that :D
Well done on actually doing the running! I'm supposed to be using part of this afternoon to go for a long walk as well as doing the gamedev stuff, but so far all I've managed is hanging out on Lemmy. Oops!
I can honestly feel the disappointment of a poor sweet choice from here. Nothing worse than feeling like you've earned it only to "waste" the opportunity. You have my express sympathy.
As a guy with a wife and adult daughter who are active online, I just don't get it either. My daughter was playing MMO games when she was little and I often had to take her keyboard and say, "Dude, she's 7!" when guys would PM her really sexual stuff. She ended up just making characters with gender neutral names to reduce it. That's from guys who know zero other than their gender. My wife gets all sorts of replies that are about her being a woman and nothing to do with the things she said. It makes no sense.
I'm so glad to hear Lemmy is better! I hope it continues to be a place where our interactions are based on our ideas and not our bodies.
I remember being a male teenager long time ago and the brain just screams about sex all the time.
That's probably why some of the less evolved men out there starts pm-ing any lady they see.
Just getting a response is of some value appearently.
Then you get older and realize girls are evil so they lose their attraction. Lol. Mostly kidding.
Lol :)
