    I have never been in the chat room with many, I stay one and one in the chat room, I think you have more control over the conversation and you can cut it of when someone gets rude or boring.However no one has to be rude. Some are just not nice and have no manners.

    1. Not even close 2. Absolutely 3. You bet 4. Depends, if it pisses me off personally, then yes 5. Heeeell no! I think you know I'm polite and curteous. And if people want to keep communicating with me, they better be the same. Fuck 'em otherwise.

    1. Better to be polite then an arsehole. 2. It is polite to return a message or mail 3. I don't get in the chat rooms 4. No I tend to remain silent 5. In the correct context it is not rude at all!!

    1) Nope, the opposite actually 2) Nope, silence is a form of communication and I have no trouble interpreting it 3) Depends.Most people can handle themselves, and besides, we should all know how to use the block button 4) See answer above :) 5) Absolutely not. Some rude people need a wake up call!

    1 Yep agree with that !!!!!!!!2 Yep was always taught even if you don't like someone always be polite, not so much on RHP but manners go along way in the real world.3 Don't frequent the chat room enough to comment,went in a couple of times when I first joined and was put off by the clicky little group of rude people.4 As above.5 Nope not at all

    1. No one wants to be the rude wanker. At least not me anyway 2. It would certainly be nice, but not expected. 3. Sure. 4. Depends but most of the time I think I would. 5. Need to stand up for yourself saying someone is rude instead of condoning their behaviour

    1) No. 2) No, as in not expecting, but hopefully I would hear from them. 3) Yes. 4) Yes. 5) No. But I will tell them in a polite tone, don't want to be on the same level as rude people are!- Posted from rhpmobile

    1.I am not always ''polite'' in the forums but when it comes to messages it depends on the nature of the message. I am not attempting to ''get'' anywhere. 2.I rarely send mail but yes I do expect a response. 3.I don't ''chat''. 4.Yes if I think someone is being unfairly targeted .....my pet loathe is speeeling Nasties. 5.No ...rudeness is just boring.

    1. I'll put it out there that sometimes being too polite isn't attractive to me. I like a bit cheeky and a bit naughty but definitely not a rude prick or prickette. 2. Common courtesy - absolutely. To the drunk fuckwit that trod on my bare foot in the change room at CC a sorry would have been nicer than the abuse I copped.3. I don't do chatrooms but if I did and could keep up with the bloody conversations I most definitely would. A subtle 'Dude, keep your pants on and calm down'. I would never tell them they're wrong though unless I know for sure they are.4. This one equates to bullying (my pet hate) - see no. 35. No way. It's called calling a spade a spade where I come from.I had to scroll up for each question because I forgot what the questions were. I must be getting old.

    a) No - Very general comment as I have nothing to do with rude/ignorant/pushy peopleb) No- I have not initiated emails, and always replyc) Don't go into chat rooms - I don't bother with people that are ignorant and arrogant and unable to act civilyd) As above, it is up to the other person to make a stand alternatively there will be others to speak up anyway.e) No.

    1. Being friendly , can be mistaken for being too easy.... but yes. 2. Yes' but some feel above the need to reply ' .. although in some cases warranted..3. Never go in chat rooms.. narks find you where ever you are..4. Most definately' specially with this group mentality.5. Letting them know cant be bad.. they already know they are anyway.. The forums were great a few years back when we had some individual entertaining personalities , who were more likely to communicate than now. Now' its more about the few who think its all about them

    1. No, I'm pretty polite generally. I like people who are also polite. 2. No, though I rarely message people. I often reply but not always. I always do if it's a thoughtful message. Not so often if a template or a 'how r u'. 3. Very rare that I venture into chat. 4. Sometimes. Depends, I do hate the nasty pack/gang mentality that can form in the forums... You know who you are!!! (Though I've been accused of this too!) 5.if it quacks like a duck....

    Us single guys are considered pests...unless your buff, hung & smoking hot! But us 'average' guys still get to meet some amazing individuals if you display common courtesy and show some respect : ) 1) definitely not........ the narcissist will ignore you for sure unless you 'meet her criteria' BUT those women who are grounded and happy will have no issues saying hi back. 2) Yes....but when women get 100 msgs plus a day you propably should forgive them for not taking the time to reply. Nature of the RHP beast my friend. 3) I avoid chat rooms.....I get confused easily! Lol 4) See answer 3 5) Rude as is 'erotic chat' is welcome...it's fun : ) Rude as in dude or dudet with funky attitude is not ok at anytime and those with arrogance deserve to be told so. So hell yea...give em a mouth full...that's also fun! - Posted from rhpmobile

    1. No. If a person is polite I'm more likely to be the same. If I receive a rude message I will just use a template answer.....but I still answer.   2. Yes. Common courtesy is always appreciated.   3. I no longer go into chat rooms due to rudeness.   4. Not often. People have their own way of dealing with rude people, often I just don't want to get involved.   5. Definitely not. There's a difference between being dirty in a fun way and being rude.   I have nothing against the so called 'average' guy, I just wish they would respect our wishes if we say no.

    Being considered a pest is a result of what someone does, not what they look like or who they are. Maybe change what you do.

    1. Being polite and respectful gets you a response on this site and in the real world. Common courtesy is a must. 2. i believe if somebody makes an effort and they are polite and respectful, then they deserve a response for making the effort to contact you. 3. Absolutely. I will not be disrespected by anybody and not stand up for myself. 4. Of course. Read answers to questions 2 & 3. 5. I'm black and white, so telling somebody how it is, is note rude or offensive - in the slightest.

    Um common courtesy costs a person nothing. 1. I'm Always polite and it seems to work for me, I am not usually the instigator of an approach unless I'm intrigued by a profile or have enjoyed a forum post. 2. See no.1 if I sent a message yes I do usually expect a response even if it's a polite thank you enjoy your journey. 3. I don't chat, I also prefer not to message/txt incessantly though I have been guilty of the former when my halo slips and I forget myself! 4. Am a fan of less said soonest mended and learning to choose ones battles carefully however if you're being a jerk/jerkette I'm sure karma will bite you on the arse at some stage if I don't. As for RHP "bullies" there's always ignoring them and not giving them airplay or the good ole block button. 5. No it's not rude, offering suggestions on how to improve their game can also be beneficial to them. If they persist though see no.4 above. Life's too short to let the odd "wad" ruin an otherwise wonderful day. :). Cracking on today Safari

    1)Do people find if you are polite on here you seem to get no where?NO- But I'm Female/part of a couple think that gives me some kind of invisible force shield!( people always seem nice that I communicate with)2)What about common courtesy ,if you send someone mail do you expect return mail?NO- Well being Im a shocker at returning mail so I guess Im a "fail" or one of those that you may find "rude". I just do not have time to reply to a message especially when I haven't instigated conversation to start with! In saying that if someone doesn't return my mail Im not going to think its rude moreso a "not interested".3)What about being in chat room where people are being rude,do you stand up and tell someone they are wrong or being rude?Depends if I know the person they are flinging mud at. If I know the person then Yes I do stick up for them and vica versa. Have had the odd nutter say something to me . Sometimes there is" history" behind some slinging matches in chat rooms so if I do not know the agenda I sit back and gleefully watch the mudfight!4)What about if someone is being pushie towards a person in chat/forums,and dose not take no for an answer ,do you stand up for the person being harassed?Same as above. When it happens to me I tend to make a joke of it till they finally piss me off to the point of blocking then bye bye pain in the ass!!EASY5)Is telling someone "they are being rude" rude?No it's just stating the bloody obvious!!However.. in case of point (1) it has to be remembered that women on here get a stack of messages so its unfair to label them "rude" for not replying to unsolicited mail, especially when that person is out of their guidelines.

    As a general rule just try be polite - even if it doesn't have any benefits. At least it's better than being rude and you keep a level of respect between you and the person who may/may not be interested.That's important I think.

    Are you really reading each one's answer OP? 1) Do people find if you are polite on here you seem to get no where? Only with people that aren't polite...2) What about common courtesy ,if you send someone mail do you expect return mail? Yes 3) What about being in chat room where people are being rude,do you stand up and tell someone they are wrong or being rude? Yes, that they're being rude4) What about if someone is being pushie towards a person in chat/forums,and dose not take no for an answer ,do you stand up for the person being harassed? Yes5)Is telling someone "they are being rude" rude? NoHow do you stand on the polite and common courtesy scale?? Sjy high

    Had to check your profile to see who the hell you are. Didn't find much , just another faceless profile of someone wanting to jump the bandwagon so your credibility surely has to be questioned. The only thing you achieved with your misguided comment is to show just how ignorant you are. For the record, there was no lie and never any woe is me as you so sarcastically suggested. But mud sticks and no one has been big enough to come forward and admit they got it wrong. When people have their back to the wall, it's much easier to say nothing and save face then to back peddle.

    Just cos they're on a ladies friends list doesn't mean it's a sexual friendship. Gay/Bi guys are grnerally in touch with thier feminine side, can be great company and are fun to shop with. Now if they cross dress as well and have the same shoe size, WELL that's just PERFECT!!! I soooo love shoes!!!! :) Indy (aka On_Safari)

    1. Being polite gets you places. But you need other stuff too, such as confidence et cetera.2. I never expect mail back. I'm not everyone's cup of tea.3. I ignore rudeness in chat rooms and pay attention to the friendly persons also ignoring the rude person.4. I try to be black and white. If they're wrong, I'll let 'em know.5. Only if you tell 'em like a hard cunt.

    If people want to be rude just ignore them, or if they don't wanna message you back is up to them? I don't go on chat rooms but people that are rude have little self respect and a slight personality defect to go, and usually overrate themselves, so sooner or later they get so far up their own arse they disappear, you know who you are :)- Posted from rhpmobile

    Das struggles with spelling and is brave enough to continue to post. By visish he means visish quite obviously, not difficult to work out really.   OH! my answers....   1)No 2)No I/we dont expect a reply, its always nice to receive one though (when we are paid up and send them out). I/we ALWAYS reply though to messages we receive. 3)I/we dont go in there, it drives me nuts 4)Yes, I would. 5)I think I kind of just did No I dont think its rude. Msfun :)

No point in being someone I can't back up face to face.2)What about common courtesy ,if you send someone mail do you expect return mail?I don't expect return mail, but it would be nice. I hate replying to people and saying no but sometimes I do it.3)What about being in chat room where people are being rude,do you stand up and tell someone they are wrong or being rude?I would, but I would do it face to face as well.4)What about if someone is being pushie towards a person in chat/forums,and dose not take no for an answer ,do you stand up for the person being harassed?As above.5)Is telling someone "they are being rude" rude?I don't think so, but it totally depends on how.MrsSplicey
