Mrwilling: Your no shipwreck, agentajax
I grew up in housing commission area plenty of poverty there, but we looked after each other. How everyone appears has a lot to do with your own Outlook.
What you are failing to notice while climbing the ladder is where you came from and others now talk behind your back. Catch fire see who wants to put you out?


Is this what I've heard referred to as "tall poppy syndrome"?confused

Just asking. dunno

Merriweather: Welcome... Mrwilling.. but I don't think acknowledging everyone who views your profile is reasonable..

nothing to do with manners

for a start... you must realise that many people just don't bother/ remember to look at the WVM

some come on here just for the games... and some come on for the forums...


Okay, I look at a primary profile pic that has her head turned away. Do I chase this further because she does not appear to be "aged" when I am looking for some "spark in my life?"

Okay, I look further. Does she/will she interest me further. Okay, she has "looked" at my profile. If she was interested, she would have made some sort of contact with me. Okay, there may be some form of contact but....

yeah, her profile is very, very attractive. But what next? I live here, she lives there. I have already moved away from my "nearest and dearest" and found some difficulties with making new friends (plenty of aquaintenances) but do I want to start again?

You are allowed to look Wash.. that is what its about... if you have the time and inclination... you could spend all day looking..

But looking at profiles doesn't give much... its just .. ok... that's an ok look... well, for me...

I have my favourites on here... but I'd not bother looking further... I really don't have time... and to be honest... I am well happy either here or fb. doesn't much matter... confused

Just asking.

More like looking down on those you trod over to get there and forgetting where you started....

Ahhh, complacency....maybe with a little apathy thrown in for good measure.

What a wonderful state to be in.....laugh

I have a saying: "past memories are those you no longer remember the details."


if you remember the details you are still living in the past and not making those necessary changes.

This is only a philosophical view and not meant as any type of insult, just a different way of looking at thingscheers

I'm still where I started, despite my best efforts to be elsewhere. laugh

Although, no more -40C, or -55 either, and several months less of winter overall....maybe I have progressed. grin

Mrwilling: Is it good manners to acknowledge people who view your profile?
I do so, but the reciprocal is lacking.
Is it because you get sick of sorting the chaff from the wheat?





Sometimes looking at profiles is a BlOOdy good laugh, so unless they message you ... leave them alone ... cause they aint interested ... grin

No worries Agentajax, I'll agree to disagree on a point of philosophy.
Manners as the post started, dictate I should let others be of their opinions.violin

Sorry Merri, I just used you as an example here about photos, sorry about that...then again. Odd thing is that a picture can say a lot. Take Mona Lisa as a very good example.

I have just finished reading a book relating to Netherlander artists of the late 16th Century. Very descriptive of what can be seen/interpreted in paintings and what may be whatt the artist is trying to convey.

People put up photos of themselves and then try and convey themselves in a few words about themselves. We are too complex to explain in 25 words or less.

My parents were born into well-to-do families. The Great Depression ended my grandfather's building business and meant many cutbacks to my mother's family (no more servants). The one thing my parents did insist on was "proper manners" when dealing with anyone.

Yeah, I have looked at a few photos on here and "voted" for a few. I have looked at WVM and who has given me a decent score. But do I really need to respond to someone younger than my children that finds me "attractive?" Does this 21 yo think that for my age and the photo I have provided is a great shot?

Yeah, sometimes I respond and thank them for having pity on me, usually curious to find out what they have seen in the picture.
