i see what you are saying, but honestly it was just as bad. in fact i think the fcat that it was subversive behaviour made it all teh more titalating (see foucault's history of sexuality). |
Well, neither of us lived during that time so it's all speculation, but my "elders" tell me otherwise. And I know that everyone loves to exaggerate about the "good old days", but even I can see the differences between now and 10 years ago... I'm not really talking about repressed sexuality, I'm talking about things like courtesy and family values... surely one has to admit that something must have changed in order for the divorce rate to go up such a staggering amount - if human relations haven't changed, then human values have.

and muff2k bought me a shot, i bought him one the next time i saw him at system. it's just reciprocating. |
I really agree with you full-stop here, Tara. I *wish* for that too, but since so many people I meet view courtesy and respect as optional, it's hard to keep it up without eventually getting taken advantage of by someone. I always used to open doors, give up my seat, give up my coat (without putting the sleeve down my pants), buy drinks, and so on, but after months or even years of rarely even getting a "thank you", I started getting tired of it. Of course I still try with some of it, but I think it's more limited to close friends now, since I just don't trust strangers.
Silke, I don't think this thread was ever about "fears of rejections", "probs going up to girls", or anything like that - if that's the meaning you inferred, then it sounds like you just skimmed over this thread without really listening to anyone.
Anyway, I'm not trying to be overly serious and I'm not flaming either - I'm just having a discussion because it turned out to be a somewhat interesting conversation... no? |

well aaron, finding ppl who are genuine and courteous is rare. you just have to behave the way in which you like to be treated and like will attract like (i don't necessarily mean relationships- friendships as well). you seem really disenchanted w/ people. i wish you would bea little more positive :)
in the good old days I do think it was mostly a show and not genuine. being polite is important but simple gestures must be followed w/ an actual conviction as to how ppl shoiuld be treated. I mean, it's nice if a man opens my door for me, but if he expects for me to sumbit to him in many ways (as old fashioned gender roles dictate) then that goes against my understanding of respect and courtesy. i agree w/ some past values but not all. as i've mentioned before a genuine mutual repect among humans is what i would like to see. |

huh? huh? let's have some fun here!!! where's the TOTA sense of humour without flaming/ being flamed for every little thing? :toothless :happy2:
~life's too short! ;) |
no flames no nonsense.. the simple truth is.. good guys, that are smart, and relatively good looking are everywhere... I know countless guys who are awsome dudes who are still single and such. For the life of me I can't understand why!
I gotta start a matchmaker service! |

I'm sure she's not thrilled about your attitude either Aaron.
I don't think it's suspicious at all for new female members to declare they are not PP - look how you guys jumped on Mrs. Spice!
And who CARES if she's PP anyways if she's not posting like PP did?
It's no wonder TOTA is a sausage party. :rolleyes: |
Thanks for mentioning me! I wish I was arount to hear all the stories. Sounds like a pretty interesting gal! Anyway I'd have to say that all the good looking guys are hiding away in the underground clubs in the city. I'm serious! Jungle guys are to die for. |
