I'd replace "amusing" with "hypocritical."

I guess it's not considered rude to be sanctimonious if you've had a "Southern upbringing."

I guess I'm just a Yankee asshole for not pointing out how I was raised to point out what a dick you people are

I never once said I was better than anyone. Read things and comprehend them before jumping to a conclusion.
Thank you

Hmmmm....

The only person that can keep you from lowering your 'standards' (however ridiculous they may be) is you. So why put it on us?

llama herders.... 'safety'... yeah, right.

And what you do with your 'hooha' is your own business - again, it's up to you to decide, so why do you feel the need to beat us around the head with it?

The whole 'southern upbringin' just doesn't work for me though. The weight thing is a non-issue that shows vanity, the fact that you need an escort demonstrates that you fear that men are guilty until proven innocent, and you aren't 'posing for Playboy', which insinuates that women who show their hoo-has are somehow of lower standards than you.

I would respectfully ask you to get off your high horse.

I couldn't have said it any better!  However, I couldn't lowered my standards to her "southern upbringing" and let the "rude a%%hole" side of me out for few minutes.  But, the mods are watching so I'll be nice...

I'm just wondering if it's possible that certain models look into special mirrors and see a totally different person than we do?

I'm just saying

I would advise hanging around the forums silently for a while, and reading everything with an open mind. You might see that the people you found 'rude' at the beginning are actually the most useful members around here, they've just become so sick of doling out the same advice to an endless stream of newbies that their message has become a bit abrupt.

Of course there are a few really vile people on here - but then there are in every walk of life.

Perhaps, if you are getting so much rudeness coming your way, you should look at what you are doing to invite it in? Maybe the problem isn't with everyone else? Of course maybe it is, but if that is the case, what would complaining in the forums do about it, other than invite yet more rudeness?

Wise advice.

Well, generally speaking, of course, you are correct.  However, speaking in platitudes is not generally productive or conducive to a meaningful conversation or discussion.

It would be nice to have a specific example of what you are talking about.

You may have launched the thread, but it's not your thread and you don't get to dictate responses.

Krisna Fretwell  wrote:

You have chosen a couple of member replies that I assume you think were rude and commented on them. You have not said a word about anything that has been stated in the thread that has been constructive or common sense advice for you to absorb and interpret.

Some might say that in itself is rude but I see it as this: you started a troll thread wishing to bait people into arguing with you. You have no desire to learn from things that have been pointed out to you, and just sought attention.

Well, now you've gotten it. Didn't your 'Southern upbringin' teach you that vanity isn't a desirable trait?

Escorts are a lot of the time a very good idea, I started out young and have had some experiences. Nothing sexist about it, I bring one for both male and female photographers

With due respect, go back and read the original post in this thread. If you wanna start another escort thread, do so, but not here.

O_o

Really? 'Cause here's the original post:

"Why are some people in here so rude??? Maybe it's just me and my southern upbringin but is it really all that necessary to speak (type) to someone with disrespect??!! I see it everywhere. It's definetly a downfall to be around people like that..,"

No mention of escorts as far as I can tell.

If you read through the six billion escort threads on the sight, you cannot come to the conclusion that bringing an escort is 'smart.' It's a choice, but not necessarily a smart one. Don't state it as fact.

FYI, done commenting on the escort thing in this particular thread.
