But in general, depends on the person. Some are more prone to attention than others and some would find it mortifying.. either or, best to wank in private. | |||

"I wouldn't know, no one's ever appreciated me that much
But in general, depends on the person. Some are more prone to attention than others and some would find it mortifying.. either or, best to wank in private."You may have opened the floodgates for some appreciation posts here 😬 I agree about wanking in private though  | |||

"Whilst a compliment or something is appreciated, anything more than that from (usually) a stranger is a little weird. And it doesn’t make you like them more, possibly will put that person in the weirdo category" Yeah that's my suspicion too | |||

"I found it overwhelming. I very much tried to downplay it and make it a funny thing but it seemed to take on a life of its own. It felt like there was no easy way to say “this is freaking me the fuck out” without coming across like a bitch. But if someone enjoys that attention then good for them." I think most would understand if you called someone out on an appreciation thread made for you. If someone made it without knowing you'd dislike it, then they didn't really know you at all. And if these things aren't called out they'll keep happening. Like you say, these threads should be made only if the OP knows for sure that the recipient would like it | |||

"Men can respond too by the way, I realise that excluding them in the title wasn't really necessary as everyone's opinions are valid here, not just the "victims" "• I was reticent, at first, in participating. I was going to say how about the "Happy Birthday" threads? Some people relish in those and some people on this thread have been the progenitors and the subject of such threads . | |||

"If this is in relation to the one about me then no .. im actually quite mortified and choosing to ignore it and hope it dies off on its own. Im sure the OP didnt mean it with any malice but its not something i wish to be a part of. Thankyou everyone who has messaged me to tell me it exists im just choosing to ignore it and hoping everyone else does so that it ends. " The one about you got me thinking about the topic, but it's just the latest in a long line of these threads where it seemed like the recipient was ready to curl up and disappear as a result of being brought to the attention of the whole forum against their will. | |||

Some people relish in those and some people on this thread have been the progenitors and the subject of such threads ."This is a good point. The birthday threads seem extra pointless, as who actually puts their real birthday here anyway? Just because someone is in the forum, which is a form of community, doesn't mean they like being stood up in front of the class for others to comment on. | |||

"It happened to me once. I felt embarrassed. Other people didn't like it and joined in to point out that there were women who deserved to be praised much more than I did. 🤷♀️ If people enjoy these threads I'm fine with it but I don't join in " Ouch, I hadn't even thought about how others could take offence and get nasty about the recipient  Sorry to hear that happened | |||

"It very quickly moves from a well intentioned compliment to a bit weird and overwhelming. Like you’re a specimen being examined " You hit the nail on the head here, it feels like being stood up in front of the class and having to take comments about yourself from people you may not want to get them from. For everyone to see! | |||

"A whole thread about appreciating or fancying me would be uncomfortable, especially if by someone I didn't even know. A mention on a thread where people name someone they fancy can be sweet but wouldn't make me more likely to meet a person.

"I think they're awful. Cringy, sentiments expressed that are far from true and done in the hope they'll get noticed. The people are lovely but placed on a spunk coated pedestal. I dislike the fawning. The pressure placed on the person. The bitchy comments that can pop up. Do you know what I really dislike though? The cyclic "appreciation for everyone" that follows. (Friends doing it jokingly is very different!)" 3 words I didn't expect to see together in this thread, yet they make perfect sense: "spunk coated pedestal" Bravo 👏 | |||
