Yep.. it's true. Since joining, I have had so many that have sent messages. I don't mind them but when I politely tell them I'm not interested, they fire back with all kinds of insults and then block you from responding. Got to love the maturity. Everyone is so brave behind a keyboard. Keep it classy...

Anyway, welcome to Lush. Try not to get upset by some wankers. They're not worth it. There are a lot of nice folks too. Enjoy!

Camille, welcome to Lush.
You'll find that the onslaught of unsolicited messages and friend requests dies down a bit after a while. Until then, the "block" button is your friend. Again, welcome and please don't presume that the actions of the few represent the community as a whole.

Somehow I luckily escaped being noticed by the herds and masses, and go figure. But I'm probably the least popular profile type...I refuse to give strangers so much of myself, no offense. Getting to know someone through actual messaging is so much better than meaningless friend requests from "collectors". Block button, ahoy!

Hi Camille, Welcome to Lush!
As others have said, you will get a few (many) people here to whom tact is only a concept. Try not to let it bother you. You have the power of block and delete as well. If they continue to give you a hard time, just eliminate the problem! And as far as new ones coming on, well the only way to solve that is to set up your PM's so only your friends can send them. It makes it hard to find new people that way, but it does cut down on the number of wannabes that can PM you.
Welcome to Lush Camille! as many have said already it will take a little time to settle into good friends that are genuine, don't be put off by the minority.
Welcome Camille,
Lush is a great place. Don't give up on it. It will take time to learn the good from the bad. But as MJ said, you do have the power of block and delete. Don't be afraid to use it. it will save you a lot of headaches. Enjoy Lush..

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Yes, right now, while online, my pecker is a double-decker.
I haven't had that problem but I have decided its because I am just not that attractive to the men here at Lush.....
Hey Camille: welcome to Lush. Sad that you encountered so many trolls up front but stick around, there are some amazing people here. I figure many people show their true colours on the Internet; too bad for them. I try to find the humour in their behaviour because in the end its pretty laughable.
i have to say sorry for my half of the species. some men are dicks.
