FabSwingers.com forum: Can I ask you a question?

A lot of us get these messages, I know.

How do you respond? Ignore? Say no?

If they say "Can I...", I usually say "I don't know, can you?".

If they say "May I...", I usually say "You just did".

However, I'm considering a new approach. I might ask them to guess the number between one and ten I'm thinking of and if they get it right they can ask.

Or perhaps a little quiz. I'd need to think of questions that can't be Googled though. Any suggestions?

Yes, I can guess they are fun too and as you said, guessing a number would be fun too. I will guess 7

How I respond to question messages depends entirely on my mood. Sometimes I'm a bit playful and nice about it and sometimes I'm sarcastic.

I guess people just need to catch me on a good day.

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter _ed light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see _ed and orange colours because the blue light has been scatte_ed out and away from the line of sight.

"Why is the sky blue?

Because dust particles and vapour droplets tend to scatter the shorter wavelength light (violet/blue und of the spectrum) so that in daytime the whole sky looks blue.

At sunset the sky looks _ed as you look to the horizon as the scatte_ed light is scatte_ed away from us and the longer wavelength (_ed/orange light) passes through to our eyes.

Works if you put coffee mate in your fish tank and shine a torch the length of the tank. The sides look blue...scatte_ed light but the opposite end looks _ed...passes through.

The fish don't like it tho!

In my experience it's never a sensible or respectful question so it's a no brainer delete.

I usually just say yes.

I don't see the point of a sarcastic response.

A few of mine have lead to absolutely classic, hysterical conversations.

Why play games just because you have a bit of excess attention?

Unless I knew someone well I wouldn't even bother playing along with that kind of shit.

Messaging to ask if you can ask a question is playing games. I play back, sometimes.

I'll admit, I'd just ask the question but I think people are just attempting to be polite.

From the questions I've had when I've said yes, I'm dubious to be honest.

I used to say yes. My approach changed as a result of my experiences.

If someone says something like hi, I saw your profile/saw you on the forum and I was wondering something, may I ask you a question, I'd say yes.

That's a bit different to a copied and pasted single line that they try on multiple women.

Again, from experience.

It depends upon your interpretation of when the jump starts. On the bridge. In the air. Many possibilities. Why?

And we are only assuming that he is about to commit suicide by jumping. He might have gone home to do it. Is this one of those strange riddles?

No matter what their first message is, I always reply politely. Too many fucking rude people on here.

It can't be answe_ed - the use of the word "when" means the two possible answers can't be used

I'm not rude when I reply.

You just did/I don't know, can you? aren't rude. A bit sarcastic, yes, but not rude.

Ignoring it would probably be ruder.
