![]() So, as soon as the person is sending me private messages every round, I have to block them. This may sound odd, but I'm on WWF to play WWF. "Wow, great word" for a 5000 point word is fine. Hint: WWF etiquette is to talk with your playing partners minimally. Then we start playing and after the first move, he sends me a private message. I'm fine with playing with people who play less well, but most people try to play with people who have similar scoring averages (plus/minus 2 points.) His scoring average is significantly below mine. It starts with being asked to play by a stranger. But that may change soon because I'm getting a lot of weirdos in WWF lately. So, if a random person tries to start a game with me, I will usually accept the game. I also watch my statistics carefully, and if you block someone in the middle of a game, it counts as your loss, which royally pisses me off, and I've let WWF know that. ![]() Words with Friends is more problematic because I play a lot, and I like to play. I don't block people willy nilly, but if I'm absolutely sure it's a weirdo that I have no connection with, then bye bye. So, if someone starts their conversation with "you are so beautiful," my BS detector starts beeping. This is what I looked like in 1984, pictured with my father. This is what I look like today (on a very good day with a very good photographer): I was prematurely grey, and all grey-haired by the age of 30. But that was an exception, one that I obviously still remember because it was so rare and so touching. I used to be moderately attractive when I was young, and there was once an older gentleman in France who told me I was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. I'm not so ugly that I would knock a buzzard off a shit wagon, but I'm not beautiful and never was. I am not a celebrity, and I am not beautiful. What I don't understand is what are they trying to accomplish? Swindle money? Who are these strangers trying to friend me or start a conversation? I notice that they usually have several things in common: they are usually men, usually with a relatively new account (< 6 months), usually they *say* they are working abroad or are abroad and in the military. Sometimes I'll message them and ask, "do I know you?" If we don't share mutual friends, then I usually ignore it. If we share more than one mutual friend, and I like the mutual friend, then I'll accept it. So, when I get friend requests from strangers, I look to see if we share mutual friends. ![]() I friend people that I'm interested in talking to or connecting with. I do not "friend" people on Facebook randomly. Everyone is not a close friend, but they are people that I know through other friends or hobbies. I mean mostly men, who start out with "You are so beautiful." I don't mean people who legitimately want to talk to me about quilting or dog rescue or writing. I cannot understand all the strange people that try to start conversations. I play Words with Friends, an app that closely resembles Scrabble, every day. I look at Instagram even more briefly than that.
