  Wasn't sure where to post this, so sorry if it would've been better somewhere else.
  
  Anyway, just joined up a few days ago, great site, still figuring out how to really use it. What's the difference between the buddy list and the hot list?
  
  If I add someone as a buddy, but don't put them on the hot list, am I gonna have an angry group of online buddies? Or is redundancy polite?
  
  Just trying to get a hold on the etiquette, I can be pretty dense and I find it's easier to ask straight out.
  
  While I'm yapping, any other potential goofs I oughta know about?

  Hey there, welcome to the RJ site!
  
  I think the Buddy list is for those that you enjoy conversing with and you approach as a friend strictly
  (you can have someone on both lists).
  
  The hotlist is for those you find attractive and hot.
  It doesn't have to be a sexual thing, but rather just a complementary thing in many cases.
  
  I enjoy being on a hotlist or as a buddy. It is odd to have someone "buddy list" you if you've never talked to them before.
  
  Well I think you will have to find your way on the other "dos" and don'ts" of this site, but one thing I know I don't like and that is...to send a notice that you have unlocked your private pic to someone you've never talked to. Thats pretty irritating or the "cam" thing either. Have fun!

  Generally, I've used the buddy list for people I actually talk to on a regular basis while the hot list just has guys I particularly admire. There can certainly be overlap!
  
  PS Good on ya for getting verified right away!

  Same as what Gigaram said. There's definitely overlap too. For me, and probably a lot of guys here, smart and friendly can equal sexy / hotlist material

  I'm kinda shy in that I don't really know what to say to someone at first, so I buddy list people as a way of letting them know I'd like to converse with them.

  I do the opposite. I typically use the hotlist to let people know I want to get to know them; it works about 50% of the time. Quite a few guys actually say "thanks for the hotlist". I'm really impressed with that!
  
  It's a little annoying when some guys have a bunch of rules & requirements for being their buddy. Agreed, you should talk to someone first, but I hate rejection and that goes for buddy listing too. Why shouldn't somebody be my buddy; it's a website!

  The buddylist is for guys you talk to and enjoy talking to while the hotlist )in my opinion) is for the guys you find hot/nice to look at...of course they may overlap

  You talk to buddies.
  
  You do not, of course, talk to guys you want to fuck. That ruins everything.

  buddy list is for guys you have a chance of fucking, the hot list is for those you haven't got a hope in hell of fucking.

  The folks on my buddy list are the guys i've talked with a bit online or know in real-life. It seems weird to me to call someone your buddy whom you've never even said hi to... As for whether I want to fuck them, I don't usually sleep with my friends, but there may be one ;)
  
  I don't keep a hot list. It's a habit I carried over from another site that has an "I Like" system. So many guys take it too seriously, and develop some animosity if you don't return the compliment - it becomes divisive in a way (categorizing the hots and the nots of the site) - and if you do just reciprocate out of niceties, then what's the point of keeping the list in the first place if it isn't actually indicative of your tastes?
  
  If I'm interested in you or something you said, I'll send you a note letting you know just that. I would hope to expect the same behavior in return.

  It would be cool of RJ to add a Shit List section.

  I typically add people to my buddy list that I have chatted or emailed with. I ask them first. My hot list is a collection of guys that I think are physically hot (and there are a ton here) or if their profile says something that I really think is awesome. There is no rules for which list to use. USMmmm is right about guys writing you after you hotlist them. It is usually around 50% but I think it would be higher if you got notification that you were hotlisted.

  I just joined today. This is my interpretation:
  
  Buddy list- people you know/chatted with, and well, feel you can call them your bud
  
  Hot list - guys you think look great/sexy/handsome, have the kind of bod you'd like to achieve

  GR8 POST, ALTHOUGH I RARELY WILL LIST SOME1 BEFORE CHATTIN OR EMAILING, I WILL [ bout10 percent] add if they have major similar interests...but ask by saying ' hope ya don't mind'
  
  COMMON COURTESY GOES A LONG WAY
