ORIGINAL: caliastra I think if you block and hide their profile, it removes them. Something about admirers are creepy to me, so that's what I end up doing. (in reply to Rochsub2009) quote:
ORIGINAL: Rochsub2009 Why do you care if someone else admires you? It doesn't necessarily mean that you admire them in return. So who cares? Admirers are not the same as friends. You have to approve friends. Friendship is mutual. I sometimes "admire" people, but I have never asked anyone for their permission first. Frankly, I usually do it to bookmark a profile that I like that I might want to view again later. By doing so, I don't think I'm harming the person in any way. Not sure why they'd want prevent me from admiring them I'm inclined to agree with Rochsub2009 here, if you consider what the actual function of it is, instead of Collar Me's terminology, it's simply a way for someone to bookmark you. C.M. has chosen the term "admirer" because, I believe, it sounds like a friendlier word. So if it makes you feel less creepy, perhaps consider just reframing it mentally and say to yourself, "Oh another person 'bookmarked' me" and also, choose to ignore it. Truth be told? I have already seen & heard a lot more creepier stuff than C.M.'s terminology. Which has lead me to begin to develop a greater ability to ignore creepy people or creepy things they say, or creepy pics they show or send you. Still, there are a lot of cool people here I have found. They are smart, funny, clever & all in all a pretty interesting group, who I've learned a lot from so far. But you will always run into a few Creepy McCreepertons in the bunch. Best of luck in meeting some of the better ones, and Welcome to C.M.! :)
