| How Rude Should A Reply Be?
Posted: 7/5/2008 8:38:18 PM | I was wondering how rude do some people's replies to your emails get?
Here is my example: I won't name names, but as I was surfing I ran across someone in Gig Harbor almost my age (45), you can tell in her picture she thinks she really hot. But she says shes outgoing and really easy to get along with. Gave me a chuckle to notice the toilet lid was up in the picture and you can see right into the toilet..LOL. OK so in my mind, here is this lady in an low cut top/dress showing off cleavage looking really seductive and yet you can look right into the toilet. OK so it made me laugh. Normally I would have passed on sending out an email, she's not the type I would want to date just seems really all about herself. This was later comfirmed...LMAO.
So, I write "Just wanted to let you know the toilet lid was left up... "
Seemed rather harmless, never expected a reply...but I get this: "NO sh*tSHERLOCK!!! I DON'T DATE OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE EITHER!!"
Well so much for the easy going personality claim...lol...
But what do you do, say something, pass?? | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 9:29:49 PM | | If that was all you wrote, her reply sounds pretty psycho. My guess is she blocked you and you couldn't reply even if you wanted to. I don't see why you'd want to though. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 11:01:32 PM | Email does have the positive side that it lets our true colors show a little more. In public, there are many people who hide their true creepiness, since we don't want to be confronted by it. But with eMail, I feel much more capable of being a jerk!
Maybe if we all eMailed her the same thing, she would take the picture into Photoshop and edit the toilet lid to be closed!  | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 11:52:29 PM | Yeah, she probably blocked you but I would say - I don't recall asking
Did she hide her profile? I couldn't find it

Posted: 7/6/2008 9:50:47 AM | I find myself agreeing with Curls a lot.
Though I don't think replies should be "rude" at all, I also welcom them. The reason it that it does show her true colors and if she happens to come back for some reason, I wouldn't give her the time of day, whether she claims she is having a bad day or not. That would just show me what I am going to deal with on her bad days. Uhhhh no thanks. | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 3:34:24 AM | | I'm in agreement that replies should not be rude. Uh... Did she at least remove the potty pic? | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 3:37:22 PM | Dude,
Get real. It's a dating site. You thought you'd charm your way into her life with humor. She saw right through it and told you she doesn't date fat boys.
You wouldn't get a second look from her on the street, but you thought it was cool to say something here and got shut down? What a surprise. She was insulted you even thought you had a shot. Full of herself...sure. Hot women usually are. Hit on all the hot women on the site and watch the whole thing play out over except most won't even reply.
Juz how it is bro | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 12:20:55 PM | An no thats not just how it is "bro"! I have dated and married some very hot and attractive women in my life. And if you really understood most women, it's all about how you treat them, your own self confidence, humor and intellect. And by reading your post you have definitely shown yours...or should I say lack of it...LMAO
You just never know where Neanderthal man will pop up next. So you go ahead keep bashing us fat guys or 'un-hot people', since your the type of guy who looks at a fat guy with a really attractive women and says, WTF why is she with him? Well its an easy answer, they get so sick of men like you that they would rather have a funny, smart, kind fat guy than some Neanderthal with an IQ of 70 and a personality as shallow as a pot hole.
Whats so sad is you reply to my question was really was nothing more than the same thing she wrote just a much longer version.....LOL | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 1:10:30 PM | | teddybear, I so wanted to respond to that posting and couldn't have articulated it better than you did. It really annoys me when someone goes through a bunch of threads making hit and run posts that are negative. This person isn't interested in building community; instead he's tearing it down...or trying. It's a sad plea for attention. | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 6:54:09 PM | I hope she reads this forum cause she is------ Yes, thinks she is all that, the women that think and show HOT pics are the ones that most of the men want to take home and watch a movie ( instead of a real date). And as for the men, they complain about the women they meet(Overweight women), But then meet a women not overweight and they still are not happy-They think they are all that too!!
Dont worry, you will find a women who will like you for YOU! | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 8:26:23 PM | | Lets face it folks, attractive women, superficial or not have POWER. Thats the way our society works. But it still does not mean that you have to be rude. I learned something the other day about Honor. How you can be an honorable person in spite of what other people are doing or saying. Be your true self. Honor who you are and do not sink to that level. | |

Posted: 7/14/2008 10:20:56 AM | Curls,
Another person an expert about me. So I'll tell you exactly where you're right and wrong. Yes, I do make hit and run comments. I do this over morning coffee like some people do crosswords. I find it entertaining to answer questions possed. You're also right, I'm NOT trying to build up a community...huh...is that why YOU'RE here?
Sad pea for attention? I thnk it's SAD when people like you have to attack others because we have an opinion you don't agree with. For the record, I don't come here to make friends or pander to women like some people obviously do. I get thanks in my emails for my insight often...do you? I come here for mild entertainment, but certanly not to build a community (wish you could have heard me laught when I read that) I had one very young woman flame me about 10 months ago in my email because whatever I said really upset her. She never told me which thread she had an issue with or what it was I said, but instead chose to call me names and said she was doing me a favor by not doing it on the forum. Now THAT was useful. I just encouraged her to return and flame me in public if it made her feel better only this time tell everyone what she had a problem with so others could agree or dissagree. | |

Posted: 7/14/2008 7:05:56 PM | Poker, I am not an expert on anyone other than myself. I simply made an observation based on experience.
Yes, I am here to exchange ideas and thoughts with people, ie: building community. Though I try to refrain from being negative, when I see someone being attacked, or when I am the one being attacked, I will stand up and say something. I didn't attack you. I said I was annoyed. That morning I'd read numerous comments by you that seemed harsh if not downright insulting. I merely pointed out that I couldn't articulate myself as well as teddybear had. I'm glad I made you laugh. I'm not out to make people feel bad. | |

You got that right Susu. What a sad existence; running around cutting everybody to shreds. Sounds like the typical low self esteem "Make-myself-feel-bigger-by-putting-everyone-else-down" thing. | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 4:00:05 AM | You can call it that, or you can call it being candid, frank, and honest. There's no valid reason NOT to point out the elephant in the room when it's the actual issue.
Believe it or not, I've actually been banned from this site 2x now for doing the exact same thing. Funny part about it is that it's been on posts where I've recieved positive feedback, and the last case was I used an "off color" term to illustrate the type of mentality that I don't feel is appropriate (and that I actually agreed with the poster was in apropriate) - yet I was banned for espousing it *rolls eyes*
You gota love when people take things out of context and lock in on just a word. | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 6:41:38 AM | Vaxplant this is not about trying to get this guy banned but he is very opinionated about what HE thinks are women's opinions and feelings and by the looks of it he falls short of even coming close. . Don't cry baby, you are not the only one who has gotten censored for "rolling your eyes". I was banned for defending myself, without using off color terms or derogatory terms from comments made about me that were inappropiate. | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 2:24:31 PM | Hehe never said it was about getting him banned. I'm just pointing out that while he's a bit blunt, and tactless (yeah - pot calling the kettle black) his point of view just might be valid.
There's been a few posts of his where you've agreed with him. ;) | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 9:51:25 PM | | There's something to be said about expressing one's opinion with grace, but I'm afraid if I say more, the responses won't be graceful. | |
