I agree man. Like most other social sites, if someone asks to be your friend, or you ask them to, in either case, once the acceptance occurs, what happens? Its like you fall into this abyss of nothingness. No courtesy to respond, or to even say hey thanks. I dont get it…. Im not sure if its about having a lot of friends just for “show” or what, but it makes no sense to me. You cant measure the # of friends on a social site, because, why? Its not going to make you any money, or make it seem like you are important or popular anymore than having a lot of friends in “real life”.
I think its more of a status type thing if you ask me, and it is really not that big a deal. I just chalk it up it to: well, I guess he or she just doesnt want to talk. Eventually I delete that person. Why have them taking up extra space and “pretending to be my friend”.
My parents always taught me if someone says something to you, you speak back! We are grown adults, but some of us forget that…....
I totally agree with ya, Titan, I had a similar thread I started months back about this same issue. It makes my stomach turn that so called “adults” act like this here. Nobody here can walk on water without it being frozen first or turn it to wine either. Be stuck up on your own tine away from everybody else if your not gonna respond to friendship from others or casual chat. Don’t come here, it’s pointless & in my opinion a waste of so many elements that could be put toward making the site better for everyone
“My parents always taught me if someone says something to you, you speak back! We are grown adults, but some of us forget that…....”
I agree with you Mr. Titan. What’s the whole point of “friending” someone and you are not going to talk with them. It’s a two way street.
“It makes my stomach turn that so called “adults” act like this here. Nobody here can walk on water without it being frozen first or turn it to wine either.”
I thought Doctors had a God complex and reputation being stuck up…..at least you can learn and go to med school be a doctor! The same for lawyers….there is law school! Unfortunately its common problem with sites that are very focused on personal phenotype traits such as this one is. Unlike other sites that focus on racing cars, flying planes, class A truck driving, or fixing cars, etc. you cannot lean your way on to the elite group, here you cannot learn your way on (you cannot learn you way to being tall and/or having big feet., you can learn to race a car, fly a plane, drive a class A truck or fix a car or lawyering and doctoring). One group acts as if they can walk on water, and the other group has no hope in joining that group. Then comes the complex you are hinting to, lilbigdude.“The point of this site is to discuss height matters & share with others the experiences you have or had, they give the option of friending people here as well. I see most use or should I say misuse the site to cater to their own selfish personal wants & needs & not for intended purposes”
Upthere, After a while, would that get a lil tired. Maybe i missed your point. In the chat room here, people discuss more than just height matters and height experiences. Not everyone get to meet a super tall person. The tallest guy I’ve meet in real life was 6ft9in tall. There is my height experience. I genuinely talk to people, and they genuinely ignore me. I don’t get that…..
“I want to be friends with this one particular person and I think he is and would be an awesome friend, he won’t talk to me because I am to short. But that is ok, he is the one losing out on a great friend.”
Hmmm. You are “to short” for this awesome friend. Perhaps this person is not such an awesome friend? I would say that an awesome friend would not be concerned height issues and value you for who you are. :-)

No prob man, sounds like the dude you want to be friends with is a used douche bag so to speak from the way you said he’s acting toward you. I think you’re better off finding friends on here that will be your friend online & possibly offline too. Just my friendly advice 
Speaking for myself, I don’t regard this as a popularity contest. If someone takes the trouble to send me a message, rest assured I shall respond in kind when I get the chance. All I ask is that everyone have the right attitude.
As for the person who doesn’t talk to people who are “too short”, who is the small person here? Not Tjc, but the person with a small mind. Enough said.
Friend
Most people here ate not terribly friendly here, or its a one way friendship.
Well, I just wish to find someone local, because I’m pretty much done with all the ADULT CHATS with guys that are in another states, or even countries =(
