Not me, at least nothing I remember. A few flirty ones years ago, but nothing creepy - but I am neither especially prolific nor controversial, so I wouldn’t imagine that I would be an especially tempting target. plus, the heavy weapons training could be a deterrent ---

Does it count if I send them to myself? ---

Adminisrator! I am receiving considerably less than the expected number of PM responses to my charitable offering detailed up-thread. Clearly your message board is broken. Please fix posthaste. And, if you happen to be of the female persuasion, please accept my invitation to apply for treatment consideration as well (8 x 10 glossy preferred). ---

A couple mildly flirtatious ones shortly after I revealed that I was getting divorced. But it’s been 5 years already and I haven’t gotten anything since! :mad: You guys are slackers. ---

All of the PMs I’ve ever received have been polite and relevant to a thread I was involved in at the time. Nothing remotely creepy. Besides the crazy trolls, I think you guys are a pretty nice bunch. 🙂 ---

Guy here, I haven’t received any PM’s since joining up here, nor have I sent any of any kind, creepy or otherwise. However, I’m more than willing to make up for this transgress to any of the ladies who feel left out and wish to pm me their preferences. Just let me know if you you wish for: Mildly flirtatious? Suggestive? Erotic? Hardcore? Disturbed? Sick and twisted? and or any combination of the above, and I’ll try my best to satisfy.🆒 ---

I wouldn’t call it creepy, but I once got a PM from a guy telling me that, while he was absolutely NOT GAY, if he were, he would totally be in to me. Followed, the next day, by another PM saying he was drunk last night, and asking me to kindly ignore the previous PM. ---

Got one once that wasn’t suggestive per se, just… I don’t know, creepy in the sense that it was overly familiar by just a skosh, and pretty contentless, and, I mean, I don’t know but I didn’t respond and didn’t like it. ---

You people have far more exciting PM lives than I do. (Which is not to say that my previous PMing experience has been less than satisfactory.) ---

Up until now, us guys have inadvertently been sending pervy messages to each other. Oh, sure, _inadvertantly_.

I don’t understand the motivation. I’m sure there are a large number of women I’d find attractive on here, but my flirting range is about as far as my, um… arm. ---

I would argue that many of the creepy PM senders probably lack the awareness to know they sent creepy PMs to begin with. ---

Let the record show that leftfield6 has never knowingly sent **DiosaBellissima** a PM of any nature. But I do drink sometimes…so who knows! 😛 ---
