How frequently do you PM your fellow jellies?

Asked by FutureMemory (24758points) December 19th, 2010

I’ve been browsing through old PM’s (I rarely delete), and it dawned on me how ridiculously often I use this feature. My average range is 10–20 different people per day, with upwards of 40–75 messages total. Is this normal for many of you? Are there other PM-aholics out there?

It has varied over my Jellylife. I had one friend whom I communicated with mainly by Fluther PM in the past and others with whom I communicate with less frequently. I will shoot off the odd “high five” pm to congratulate someone on a great post or milestone now but don’t usually pm as much as formerly.

Whoa! Really? I doubt I’ve pm’d 40–75 times my entire time on Fluther.

jonsblond's avatar

Quite a bit. Some days I only pm instead of answering questions.

JLeslie's avatar

Rarely. I PM maybe 2 times a week to someone, and then that conversation might go back and forth a few PM’s. I never feel on fluther like people are into a lot of conversation one on one. Just a feeling, no specific reason why I feel that way.

I don’t PM that often, just an occasional congrats, or thank you for an answer on a question. And ditto to what @JLeslie said :-)

I pm a lot. Like @jonsblond, sometimes that’s all I do when I’m on here.

I PM the few hot babes who PM me.

Hot babes are always welcome to PM me, and will receive first class PMs in return.

I also PM a few of the gentlemen here, and we talk about the hot babes, in a gentlemanly way.

PS: All of the babes who PM me are hot.

Disclaimer I have never pm’d @CyanoticWasp

janbb's avatar

I have.

It is rare for me. I have only PM’d a few people. (You know who you are.)
It seems so personal and a bit intrusive. I will admit, I do enjoy seeing the “Messages for you” in bold.
(I even like it more than lurve.)

If I remember correctly, @CyanoticWasp and I have PM’ed, always in a most respectful manner.

seazen's avatar

It’s my default email.

JLeslie's avatar

I am pretty sure I have PM’ed @CyanoticWasp

@worriedguy I also get rather excited when there is a message for me.

seazen's avatar

@JLeslie You are about to be excited.

Get a room!

Blueroses's avatar

Not terribly often but if we’re pimping ourselves out here, I like seeing “messages for you” too and I think everybody on fluther is “hot”!

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

There are really only 2 people that I PM regularly… and I do a lot of that.

I also love to see the “Messages for You” all lit up. That’s the best.

rangerr's avatar

There’s days when I’ll PM about 5 people. Then there’s days where I’ll go on a spree and PM 100–200 people.

Recently it’s just Sarcasm or rpm who gets my PM love, though.
And Auggie when I want to complain about someone.

TexasDude's avatar

I hardly ever send them, but I get them all the time and I try to always reply.

@FutureMemory 75 would be a slow day. :)

FutureMemory's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe Yeah, I really should step up my game. There’s a few more open slots in the FutureMemory harem ;)

JilltheTooth's avatar

I think @worriedguy is a hot babe. Just sayin’

chyna's avatar

@JilltheTooth—Me too! But I think all the men of fluther are hot babes.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

I pm with 2–5 people each day. I interact with some Flutherites in other ways like FB or gmail.

augustlan's avatar

I PM with a few people fairly often… some just about every day. I also communicate with several people via facebook and IMs just about every day. I get a ton of PMs, mostly Fluther/mod related, but usually at least one a day from one friend or another, and I still get excited to see “messages for you”!

liminal's avatar

Think I may be missing out on something!

Coloma's avatar

Not very often, but, when there is an exchange it usually results in volley of severel back & forth, then….back to obscurity. lol

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Gotta send em to get em. It’s a good way to learn more about other jellys.

Brian1946's avatar

I PM about twice a week.

Paradox's avatar

Only rarely. It is usually to inform someone of a good book/s. Sometimes it is too discuss a topic on a certain thread further.
