alteregosophie: I can tell that you have very high standards.


Maybe she did not understand your post very well.

freesparrow: If you reread her post, they were not dating. She had talked to him on the phone only. His first invitation for a "date" included a massage...I agree with her..HE was the one that was being disrespectful. Why would he deserve an answer to such a presumptuous invitation? Personally, I would have told him how I felt, but I do not think she owed him an explanation.




I agree with you freesparrow I would've told him how I felt too.

hoolet: No personal dating standards are TOO high. It´s your choice....if you don´t like something then you are quite entitled to refuse a date.

I agree, one must know what they want right?

Telling 'how you felt' is not any less than needed. And sure a lot more than nothing.

check_mate: "but in Jamaica people just do not have any self-respect... "

Do you think so or is it just some people?
Some, but when you are a young person living here you are forced to conform to the lewd behavior because they use "culture" to justify such acts. Just yesterday i had a conversation with a friend who is dating a client of mine and she wanted to know if he had a big investment account at my company because she wants to know if she should sleep with him or not. I am like wtf?

Personal standards are important..........they are your choice.
In a world of more than 7 billion people...........it´s flipping hard to find someone to makes you feel like jelly. And there´s no reasons to lower your standards just cos someone else has a different opinion.

Don't wish to argue with you but they weren't dating.He was showing disrespct for the 'date idea'.


Yes she probably could've dealt with things a lot better by communicating her feelings about his suggestion to him.

Dadude62: No you are not too picky,,,,. Disregard the SNOB remark. He was being way too forward, aggressive and disrespectful to want you over to his place for a massage having not even met yet. You have communicated quit well.


Thank you. I mean i may not be perfect but one thing i do have is self-respect and i will never change that.

as long as u consider urself a human u have to be able to give respect in the first place...

if u can't give respect u can't pretend respect..
and there is something called communication i believe?
so learn to use it...

And what's worse is that we don't a valid instrunent to blame her! This is how millions of womem roll. An unpleasant result of 'supply - demand' tradition that has grown between male and female over the past few decades .

I would have shown him respect if he had the decency to keep such idea to himself, personally i do not dignify such insults with a response i just leave you in your ignorance.

I see. In the city here, lawyers prepare a lot prenuptial agreements for their clients because they have assets and this is because of divorce previously when wealthy business people had a change in financial circumstances and their partners left them when the money was gone, sad but true of 'what's in it for me' minded people. handshake

Communication is definitely the way to go I agree.Yes you are right.


Unfortunately not everyone chooses to use it.

Yes something like this,,, Hit the road Toad,,,.
Actually as far as I'm concerned, the conversation was over when he made his intention clear.

I'm sure he will find his brand of love, here. Which by the way, I'm not against for those who want that.
