Golden_Epitaph > I am pretty sure no one was talking about you in this thread My mistake then. >Would of definietly prefered if you didnt. Why? because I have no intention of mindlessly agreeing with everything you say? > I am talking about MO; I dont use "other dating sites." See, if you did you'd know it's not as bad here as it is on other sites. > nice guy entitlement. I never once in my post said the world "nice guy". >And for what reason does anyone have the right to have their messages read? It's not entitlement, it's called being polite and considerate. It's something you do when you're trying not to be rude, you know, the opposite of saying things like "Would of definietly prefered if you didnt.". I get messages all the time from dumb annoying or obnoxious people who I don't want to talk to but I do it anyway simply to avoid being rude. A concept that seems to be lost on people these days. >Just because you have nice guy syndrome, I never claimed to be a nice guy or said anything about nice guys. You're projecting and making assumptions. > Just because you talk to someone it doesnt entitle you to a response. It does in any civilized society. I mean sure you can ignore people, if you don't mind people thinking you're a coincided nasty person. That said, It's one thing if he's some creep or sending you offensive messages, but if you're ignoring someone who's just trying to say hi that's simply rude. >odds are you dont even know the person anyway How are you supposed to get to know someone if they ignore you? >As for that guy. He might have mental problems. That's no reason to make fun or him or treat him like garbage. >Again. Me personally...Dont see this special treatment.. The way you're acting I don't blame anyone for not wanting to give you special treatment. >Im not flattered by shallow behavior or false kindness that disapears as soon as it becomes clear that I am not interested Special treatment is still special treatment regardless of the motivation behind it. Doesn't matter if you don't like the type of special treatment you're getting, fact is you're still getting it. Sorry if I don't shed a tear for someone who's so spoiled they take issue with the style in which they're being pampered. >You never know who to trust. Sometimes I think I made a great friend, till they pop the question, I say no. And their personality flips entirely. Its like guys dont want to be friends with girls at all. And that really sucks. Its stupid It's a shame men and women generally can't be friends, but this is something that 'should' be common knowledge by now. You simply should have known better. Besides, this is how people form relationships. Becoming friends with someone, getting to know them, then when they feel comfortable with the person asking if they wouldn't be willing to take things to the next level. Maybe these guys reacted poorly from the sounds of things, but if you want friends who will stay just friends and never try to date/sleep with you, don't befriend guys. If it has to be a guy, befriend a guy who's gay like plenty of women do. > Just because it can be worse it doesn't really make anything...Better, This is true, and I never claimed this site was perfect. I don't think this needs to be repeated three times though. >I must thank you, now I have more content for my exhibit. Right back at you.

Y'all are silly as ever. Never change. And for the record, no one and I mean absolutely no one owes you so much as a response online. The rules of social etiquette are a little different and (To quote...) that should be common knowledge by now. Same as when I respond on one of your threads, directly to you, and never, not once get a response. And why can't men and women be friends? Sure they can, not any one's fault if you can't separate romantic from platonic. Although, yes it does increasr the likelihood of feelings, its just mature at work.

> The rules of social etiquette are a little different and (To quote...) that should be common knowledge by now. I'm probably the last person here who should be talking about etiquette, but I feel just because something is common place that doesn't make it right. It's far too easy to forget there's a real person behind each keyboard, a person who thinks and feels. Yet dating sites are so impersonal because of attitudes like these, which is the opposite of what dating and romance should be. It's weird being someone who feels bad about ignoring messages when everyone else couldn't care less, but it can't be helped. I guess this is just how things are these days. Like you said though, no one 'has' to respond to anyone if they don't want to, but it's still rude and inconsiderate to ignore them no matter how you try to spin it, (unless they're being creeps, assholes, weirdos, or the conversation just isn't going anywhere.) In a forum people can make whatever kind of comment people want and they might not necessarily be directed at anyone, as such comments need not be responded to. If someone's messaging you directly though, that's a bit different. I usually ignore your comments for example ohnoes, because they feel less like you're trying to discuss something or rationally debate something, and more like you're just trying to attack, insult, or provoke me. Well congrats, you got me to respond. >And why can't men and women be friends? I did say "generally". It's not exactly impossible, but nine out of ten times when a man becomes friends with a woman it's because he's looking to become more than just friends. If you wanna play it safe, just stick with your own gender.

Anyway... I'm withdrawing from this. Spring breaks over. Megitsune; you were pretttty much right. I dont get the point of resenting women while still seeking them but.. You get back to that. Kay thanks bye.
