Stalking?????

ChocoChick · 09-15-2006, 07:08 AM

Ok, someone please explain this. I went into my Bodyspace this morning and the bit that shows you your friends has been updated, so mine now looks like this:

Fan Club 18
Mutual 14
Stalking 6

I am guessing that mutual means that there are 14 people who I have listed as friends and who have listed me as a friend, too.

But what the heck is Fan Club and -- more ominously -- what is Stalking???

dbx · 09-15-2006, 07:11 AM

Hey, I thought I was the only one stalking dbflgirl! The rest of you BACK OFF!!!

But seriously, I gotta spend some time in bodyspace and see what the heck it's all about. I'm guilty of knowing little to nothing about it.

Click on "Friends" to the right of the screen under your photo and it splains it.

Bodyspace requires entirely too much time. LOL

Your Fan Club
These are all of the BodySpace members than have YOU listed as their Friend! Once you add them as Friend, the member will come off this list and move to the Mutual Friends list.

Mutual Friends
These are all of the BodySpace members that YOU have added as friends, and they have added YOU!

Members you are Stalking
These are all of the BodySpace members that YOU have added as a friend, but they have not yet added you.

The irony here being that dbflgirl has inadvertantly outed herself as a stalker

I noticed that and laughed when I read those definitions. She's sweet and harmless though.

The whole thing is a Myspace knock off. With that being popular, bb.com added something like it, but geared towards fitness.

Which goes a long way to explaining why 18 people are stalking her!

Everybody adores dbflgirl

empresscat · 09-15-2006, 09:56 AM

So you can prove how popular you are.

Heh. Actually, when a function like this works best - it simply allows you an easy way to keep track of specific people.

On LiveJournal, the blog posts of people in my friends lists all show up on one page, so I can go there without searching for them...

Here, it's not quite that convenient, but still - The photos/profiles of the people on your friends list are listed right there, and you can click on their profile and check their posts.

I know! But the good news is that as of right now, I lost one stalkee. So apparently someone added me as a friend.

Now if I could just figure out which 5 people it is that I'm stalking, I'd unstalk them!

If someone has you as a friend and you haven't reciprocated, then they're "stalking" you. Although, Bodyspace lists them as a "fan". If you make someone a friend and they haven't reciprocated, then you're a "stalker".

I guess it's a feedback mechanism so that you know that you might be jerk.

jaguarr · 09-15-2006, 12:09 PM

I'm stalking 35 of you! Some of you need to stop drawing your curtains at night, please.

great, one more thing to worry about and keep me from work and workouts!!! i just read this and looked on my page... i AM a stalker, wonderful... just what i needed on a Monday... i had used it like empress mentioned to remind me to check back with a person or their thread, now with the new bodyspace, my little post-it notes have made me stalker. is there an AA type thread for stalkers? that is almost as bad as the folks that surf invisible... u know who u are!!! LOL...

jacktheblack · 09-18-2006, 10:58 AM

Great I just found out that I am stalking dblflgirl, now my wife is going to know I stalk folks besides her, but since I am also stalking baldsnake I think the two will even out

You are? Did you just start? Because you weren't stalking me yesterday!

This is too complicated. Didn't anyone tell the site administrators that bodybuilders don't have brains, just muscles??

i did, twice... but this big dude just said "huh?"...

jtroster · 09-18-2006, 11:49 AM

I think that the label "Stalking" should be changed to "Admiring".

jaguarr · 09-18-2006, 01:09 PM

I like that it tells me that I'm stalking people but to them I just appear to be a "fan". Gives me the edge.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jaguarr again.

I wish BodySpace gave you the option of not letting people add you to their "friends list". I'm not sure I want to be associated with all of the people that have added me.
