FAST REPLY:
I've encountered alot of petty here on CM and in real life. In some cases, I avoid certain forums because anything you say gets you blasted.
I never expected the lifestyle or CM to be perfect, but I'm finding it to have a higher percentage of just plain mean people than vanilla life.
There is hell to pay if you reject someone. It doesn't matter if they live across the country or you have no interests that are the same. It's like they expect you to change who you are to be perfect for them and when you don't ...
I just love the ones that contact you first, you tell them you aren't interested for valid reasons, then they accuse you of wasting their time. They initiate and I'm wasting their time!?!?!!?
There are a couple of people I really like, but they're either too far away or our interests aren't a close match (or both) - I don't even suggest to them that I'm a possibility for them because that would be wasting their time. If you have any respect for someone at all, you treat them how you'd like to be treated.
I've been told on several occasions that I'd make a lousy sub and I'm beginning to agree with that assessment. Too many that say they don't want a doormat really want a doormat.
If it weren't for the handful of people I really like to talk to or read their posts; this site won't be much fun at all. Sure, there are days when everyone is in a good mood, but too often lately there are alot of surly people snapping at each other.
Well, enough of the square peg whining how he doesn't fit in the round hole ;-)
