FabSwingers.com forum: Hey.... up to much?

By *irginie OP Woman

Near Marlborough

I am perplexed by messages that just say “hey”, or “up to much?”. I never really know how to answer (well i don’t answer generally.

I guess the sender isn’t interested in how my day is going, or how busy my work is right now, or the fact that I just came back from the dentist.......

So what is the correct response?

There and to the left a bit

Option 1: Delete

Option 2: Reply with "Hey" or "Not much, you?" and see how long you can keep it going

Option 3: Check profile, see they've been on your Hotlist forever and totally gush in your reply about how they have been, and how you're sl glad they wrote

Option 4: Errrrr...ok forget option 4

I respond with “ho” or “saving the world, you know, standard” to those two respectively.

Option 1

"Hey" / "Hey"

Option 2

"up to much" / " well I'm so glad you asked. I'm up to a lot of things, but can always find time to speak to someone about the word. And the word is love. Not a carmal love that you expect to find on a site like this, but a Universal love. And what name does this love have I hear you ask?

It is of course his sauciness himself, our savior the Flying Spaghetti Monster. As a pastafarian I can only cavort with other pastafarians so before we go any further, I would need you to see the light and devote your life to the FSM."

I struggle with these ones. I mean I really struggle.

"Hey" I totally ignore, the "up to much" well, that one is my issue.

I can understand why people ask it, but I tend to give honest replies if I respond, so it tends to be "getting ready for work" bla bla bla, or if I think they seem a bit of a doofus, I may respond with "just changed my tampon, will be doing the same again in an hour"

Well, today's honest answer was

"pretty crap, I've been vomited on twice already.

Thanks for asking"

I'm occasionally tempted to respond to "you up to much" with "deleting inane messages" or similar.

This is tough one.

Do you write the whole war & peace, hoping to connect from that?

If I met someone in a club I’d start with a smile, maybe a cheeky wink then a conversation with ‘hi how are you’

I’d at least give them 5 minutes of my time before deciding if we had a connection etc

I'd wager a bet on this thread having way more replies than a "hey how r u" message. Delete is my response unless they are lucky 1000 of 1000 said mails and they may get a verbal walloping.

My response when asked verbally would be "good thanks, yourself?" But I don't need to know how the random man with his nob sticking out is.

so no need to reply is how I deal with it.(junk)

Yup. If I can read it without opening it, I don't open it.

It is. I'm afraid that's just the way it goes. Also, different people will like different things and there's no one approach that will work.

100% agree with that. I guess I need to work on my literacy skills, as I’m much more successful off of this site than on it x

I think that's true for most guys. It's not you, most likely.

I'd comment on what it was that drew my attention to them. Or what it is my intentions are for them. I'd certainly not say hi how are you, as quite frankly I'd not care at that point, them being a complete stranger an all that. If after a few emails chatting I'd maybe ask how they are, as it's the polite thing to do or I'd want to know having been chatting for awhile.

Do guys expect the answer to be "fiddling with my fanny while I wait for the right guys to sweep me to bed"

Vs the reality.

Normally respond to statuses or ask something specific. Never that general, not that it helps me.

They might say “yes”. Then I’d have to admit I was far too busy being up to stuff to squeeze them in.
