Is it just me or do others of you get bugged by tons of guys when logged onto IM services?

I hate IM in general, and that's one of the reasons.

I have friends currently living overseas, so it's the only way we can "talk", so I tend to stay logged in while I'm on my computer, but I may just start telling them that we'll have to communicate the slower way....all email.

Can't you block people on IM? I think there may be a setting where you only accept messages from people who are on your friends list.

I know that AOL IM has a feature where you can hide while you're online. I frequently use it when I only want to talk to oine person. It's the little eye at the top left hand corner of your buddy list. I've never experienced the hey sexy comments and probably never will, but I can imagine how annoying they might be.

Maybe if you get yourself a cute little avatar you'll get those comments too! ;)


And I'll check into blocking all but my buddies.
