Alot of girls dont use a messenger app either... There is nothing worse than someone hounding you with text messages/phone calls once you do give them your number as well. So its a 1000 word essay to impress you Taby?

I'm the same... I like to use msn. It's pretty smart to go there for a little while before exchanging your contact details... especially if you're a female - you never know who might be a crazy person, or what they might do with your number. With a little more conversation on msn you can also work out who is fair dinkum and who is not. I would suggest to the guys who do in fact get your email/msn and do not have msn messenger - lads install it now because this girl is pretty hot... you don't wanna scare her off and miss your chance. haha. As a side note... I've messaged Taby before (and been politely and tactfully declined :( lol...) but she is a very nice girl who does reply to her messages. She’s one of RHP's fair dinkum girls who probably deserves a little bit more respect than she appears to be receiving.

Speaking for myself, i was over Im..ing a couple of years ago, things to do and all that, without being tied to the computer waiting for a response, or waiting for a return when someone types BRB....having to hide from people who want to bail you up as soon as you log on.....gawd save me! These days i only do email ping pong, so i read and reply at my leisure.Then again i can also remember writing letters and posting em off...The anticipation of waiting for a letter in reply!Ah people.... "I want it all...and i want it now" ......think there might be a song in that!Cheers Nev.....the Dinosaurosus Nevius

My feeling about this is that there is a glut of messaging options these days - especially with facebook becoming so prevalent (albeit not so anonymous). On top of multiple email accounts, multiple chat environments plus txt-ing, at work we have communicator (like msn) too so you are always 'chatting'. I feel that msn is losing ground to all the additional social networking of fb so definitely expect less on msn in future. Taby, you are absolutely right to want to get to know ppl before going any further, just remember that msn is losing it. Go for the considered e-mail I reckon. It takes thought and tells a lot about someone. Of course, if you are just receiving messages with a phone number there is an easy answer - don't call and block! John :-)

.....because: I can talk faster than I can type I like to hear a real voice and it gives me a real feel for the person Nothing is lost in context I am not left waiting I haven't got time to sit at my computer for hours chatting sms banter is good - don't mind a bit of cheekiness with that, especially when I'm in a "bored" meeting and something naughty comes through...hehe But then, I do chat to select few on IM only after a phone call first and only when it suits me. I suppose Taby, it's about finding what you are comfortable with, and if IM is your thing and guys are putting pressure on you to do something else...then just delete. No one should make you feel uncomfortable. And DON'T call them...they need to ask you first if it is ok for them to call you. And if you say "no"..tell them why...it's because you need to know a little more about them first through IM or messages. If they are really interested in you, they'll make the effort And you can always get another phone...the RHP phone! Giving you a number without a message...just poor form in my book. Yes, i get them too. Jx

Like Nev I prefer messages on here, or email to MSN/Yahoo/etc for the reasons stated - you're not tied to it, its Yet Another Thing To Check (TM), and all that.Perhaps these guys are a bit jaded and have had one too many "add me to MSN" and you do, and that is the closest to interacting via MSN you get. (or they've had a few bots do the bait and switch when they get you on MSN, and you're hit up for a paysite). I recall a few posts in threads from women saying how they hated being shunted off to MSN, they'd rather just play message ping-pong here than somewhere else.Given a phone number its not even likely that I'd be straight to phone call - its way more convenient for messaging, but again, neither of you are forced to respond straight away like in IM.Some guys just might not like MSN, they may be fine in person or in email/private message - but uncomfortable in MSN convo. I dunno. (Perhaps they have office Communicator at work and HATE the thought of being chained back to another IM service, I know I detest having work people IM-ing me on it - the worse the manners the longer they wait)I wouldn't let it worry you, not everyone uses MSN - like not everyone uses AOL, or ICQ, remember those?I've rambled enough.

then tell them that it's MSN or nothing. If they go to the effort of making an account (which really isn't much) then at least they'll be showing they're proactive and more worth your time.

I rarely use msn because it interrupts me too much.. and I always forget to log off.... my tin lids use MSN all the time.. so not logging off is not good. I've had some convos on there though that I enjoyed.. so .... set up an email address and an msn.. then add this dude.. suss him out... and if you're satisfied... then give him your normal msn account name o ryour phone if you want to.

Quoting 'Ridge_Forester' As a side note... I've messaged Taby before (and been politely and tactfully declined :( lol...) but she is a very nice girl who does reply to her messages. She’s one of RHP's fair dinkum girls who probably deserves a little bit more respect than she appears to be receiving. First time for everything (being declined).... I suppose it wouldn't be cutting anyone's grass if I was to.... oh who am I kidding. I agree Taby - MSN is a good place to filter out the weirdos, and it's not hard to setup - I wouldn't hand my number to relative strangers too soon... Heck I'm even holding out on Ridge (looks like we've got something in common there *wink*) Doc G.

Interesting how in these replies the younger ones prefer msn and the older ones go for a phone call. I think it depends on what you are here for. If it is purely for a sexual encounter as opposed to more of a dating type thing then a phone call cuts to the chase and you can generally sort out people quicker. Taby why don't you call them and make your number private before you do so. I seem to remember you posted something last year about your trip to Sydney and you had chatted to a number of guys on msn but when it came to meeting they were no shows. Doesn't that tell you something. A lot of guys just get off on the msn chat and fantasise and besides how do you know who you are chatting to?? You cant get to know someone on msn cos they can say anything and you cant hear their expressions. Phone call for me everytime!!

personally msn is a great way to chat with someone, rather then playing email/msg ping pong lolbut many both males and females have their own preferences i guess... each to their own i say :-)another but... from which i've read through profiles and threads is some say dont ask if i have msn, cause i don't... im sure some do just prefer to select on their own terms instead of being askedi think email/msg/chat is the step before phone no. it gives you more time to get to know eachother and form a trust and comfortability thing...taby you reply even to say a polite no... which is very rare and shows you are genuine and do care :-) its easy to say he would be silly not to start an msn so you can chat ... one more butt :-P gotta give alittle to get alittle... if he's not willing to give then why should you ? "It takes two baby ... it takes two baby ... just me and you...." (got that song in my head now) LOL Clint

Its like this if a guy is on a sex site he thinks hes a player!!! and for us woman we r getting spoken to like whores!!! which is really fucked up!!! and sadly enough there is genuine guys here!!! its just that we need to sort them!!! Good luck sweetie!!! JENSTA xxx

Contradicting to my being here... I'm not overly fussed with this online life. Give me face to face any day. Fuck msn. The phone. Emails. Anything electronic... unless it's standing around The Adams Family pinnie machine. We have it backwards do we not? Judging folk on how they portray themselves on their profiles. Forming a liking perhaps. Smitten on somebody' hazy picture that doesn't move, doesn't smell, doesn't smile... bonus being it won't fart. Anyways... point being, chemistry ain't hiding behind these screens kids. Let's go outside to play in the sand. So come on Australia. Take your skirt off. Cancel your manicure. Grow a moustache, and harden the fuck up.

I prefer to use Yahoo chat. Its happy to talk to MSN users, and you don't need to install any software. It runs in a web browser. Once you'd got chatting away, if things seem okay you can progress to giving out your phone number, but I don't give it out first. I can usually spot the fakes this way and block them before they've got my number.

I'm a big fan of MSN - it's where I derived my name from, actually. But I've noticed I have a tendency to leave my MSN account logged in when I go out or head off which, consequently, leads people to think I'm ignoring them when they message me and I don't reply right away.I've always preferred e-mail to instant messaging. I like taking the time and care of composing a message to someone, as opposed to saying the first thing to pop into my head.

We don't mind msn. A lot don't and use the excuse they don't want endless chat. Neither do we but if you are online it's no biggie to have it on and makes hooking up on the spur of the moment a bit easier. As we aren't great planners of our social time we like this aspect. When ever you're horny and willing to play there's never anyone around so emails don't cut it and giving phone nos out to too many people isn't a good idea.

Tabby, I'm with you. I prefer instant chat, things tend to flow abit more easily. But there is another reason for using MSN or Skype that nobody has mentioned ..... webcam ..... I like to see what a guy looks like now ..... i have found that there are some people that use old photos ... or they look nothing like their pics.... so clothed or unclothed i am more than happy to ask them to turn on their cam and vice versa ... but that is a 2 way street ..... u only get to see me if i see u ..... :) I also love seeing peoples facial expressions ... it tells alot .... and you can voice chat on there ... so u can see them and talk to them the whole time usually after spending some time in a video chat or viewing their webcam... i can yay or nah on a phone number i have met a couple of guys that claimed not to have a cam or that it didnt work ...... and when i met them they looked nothing like their pics .... needless to say ..... we did not end up playing ... and i may have suggested that they were false advertising :P I dont give out my facebook .... 200 family and freinds on there including my kids .... pass.... and for those that have kids that use the same computer as you do .... make sure they have their own log in for your computer ...... and just switch user ... oh and dont give them your password .... that way they dont end up on your msn ...... my kids are 12 and 10 .. and know to switch user as soon as they sit down at the computer ......

MSN is immediate and you get to the point a lot quicker. As for the short messages, if they can't find the time or energy to compose something more interesting as an introduction message then what kind of effort are they going to put into you? If they are serious they will be happy to chat.

Been using MSN (and Yahoo) for years and actually prefer that over a phone call most of the time.For a start, I can still watch TV when using MSN, you can cam so you can SEE the reaction to what you type (I love seeing someone burst into laughter at something I type) and you can have more than one conversation going at once. Of course with the latter you do have to be a little careful to make sure you type the right thing into the right chat box lol

Quoting 'mooka'Been using MSN (and Yahoo) for years and actually prefer that over a phone call most of the time.For a start, I can still watch TV when using MSN, you can cam so you can SEE the reaction to what you type (I love seeing someone burst into laughter at something I type) and you can have more than one conversation going at once. Of course with the latter you do have to be a little careful to make sure you type the right thing into the right chat box lol totally ageee with Mooka on this, with MSN, and a webcam, you can SEE the other persons responses, you can see them typing them, you can get a good idea if your joke comment is taken as a joke or as something more serious. I love MSN and it's great to chat using it. Certainly no substitute for face to face meeting, but it can really help a friendship grow in the early stages. Wayne

i get alot of men asking me to add them on msn.. and not taking any time to introduce themselves to me at all on here first.i find it quite irritating and generally those are the messages that will get ignored and deleted.also, as i lead a very busy life, i choose not to mess around with msn as i hate being tied down to my computer..i prefer to simply either message back on forth from here, or give them my email and email back and forth, as i have my email set up on my phone so its available to me 24/7.alot of guys find it too hard to email me back and forth in order to get to know each other... but i think that if they cant be bothered putting that small amount of effort in at this stage... what would they be like IRL?*shrugs* maybe i'm just too old for msn these days lol!! as i used to use it every day when i was back in high school!!

Hi Taby, to hell with all of them. Simply make it on YOUR terms and if they don't like it then tough shyte. I love MSN, you can chat away with people and the ones who have mental problems tend to reveal themselves pretty quick. Not you or any other lady on this or any site should ever let a person bully or pressure you into doing something your not comfortable with or not ready to do just yet. Your first priority should always be your safety and comfort in this environment.
