life have send me to so many places each one with his own rules and laws i have been to free countries and the not free countries i have been to democracies (not a synonim of free) i have been to dictatorship countries too
althought this huge diference i could manage myself well
i even survived being in a dictatorship country too
all what i did was easy and simple
i readed the laws and rukes of the country i was heading and i folowed them there
i never questiones any of the laws and rules althought some of them sounded dumb to me
untill i landed in the internet dating world
whenever i consider to join a internet dating site, i read the laws and rules that the site has if i dont agree i dont join it, and if i agree to folow them i join the site
then i find that most people get mad at me for folowing the laws and rules of the site i am being asked to light up and have fun it is hard for me to undertand that concept why having fun should mean to give up on me folowing the rules
is any one wiling to give me some light on the topic
for some reazon things that i have been doing in my whole life do not work in the last few month
i can undertand some people could get agraveted by my actions, but this is always in real life as for example, here in florida people drive over the speed limit, i do not the ones that are behind me, seems to be mad i drive slow (excactly at the speed limit), but till now i have a clean driving record, and no cop asked me to drive faster here in florida, people will go to the mid of the intersection to turn left when they got the yelow light so they can run a red light later i dont do thatm and for the gestures od the drivers behind me, they are mad at me too
why the interned dating sites have rules to be bend?
please dont undertand me wrong i am not complainig about the site i am not complaining about the mods i do not complain about other members i want to undertand
here in florida people drive over the speed limit.
just a note...................most peple in Florida are retired, and probably know they may not have much time left, so they get to where they are going faster..................JUST IN CASE IT'S THERE LAST DAY ON ERATH............

you are supposed to pull into the middle of the intersection before turning left....so no wonder people are honking & giving you the 'finger'
and most people understand that when driving on a nonresidential street it is okay to go about 5 miles over the limit....if people honk it means you should pull to the right so they can pass you by.....
Not everything is black & white when it comes to rules....so yeah...lighten up
but youve said this same thing and asked this same thing almost every day since joining
its your problem its my problem im sure we arent the only ones
but all we can do is not do it ourselves in any situation driving a car talking in the movies whatever it is
we must stop choosing to pay attention to what other people do we can only control ourselves
if your idea is to make friends and maybe find a woman stop complaining the frustration we feel puts people off you ask why why--who caaares? if people act a way that is not attractive-stay away does it matter why people do what they do? if they do it and we dont like it, they arent the one for us
we can feel this way about many things why do people smoke drink overeat seem angry etc etc etc
so what shall we choose? stay frustrated? keep mentioning it? everyone can see we are uncomfortable? or let it go- do our own thing and make our own little garden.
so what im saying is re-direct your attention here i am trying to do it it is a hard habit to break but i believe i can do it and i believe in you also

He is clearly being polite and trying to understand the reason for the difference of opinions he faces .. so maybe people could be polite while replying ..

Helloo Alex
Rules are rules.. wherever you are and whatever they are for.. they are there for a reason.
In some situations rules are strictly adhered to.. (or more strictly punished)
In other situations.. sometimes people are able to bend the rules a little more.. Like driving faster than the speed limit, it is a risk they take to 'bend' .. or break the rules.
The internet dating sites are no different.. some people stick to the rules.. some people bend them.. and some people break them.. and some people get punished for doing so.
It's just people.. and how they respond to rules.. that's all. Everyone is different.
Like you and me.. You are good at abiding by the rules.. and I often bend them..

I couldnt figure out how to answer this .. i agree with claayer ..

they why do i not get a ticket from driving slow in florida we are not aloud to drive slow but i do not get a ticket either
i always drive in the right line (unles it is a line where it is mandatory to turn right"
by the way, is this the reazon that most americans when they go to countries were it is NOT aloud to turn right on red they folow that law?
but youve said this same thing and asked this same thing almost every day since joining
its your problem its my problem im sure we arent the only ones

so what im saying is re-direct your attention here i am trying to do it it is a hard habit to break but i believe i can do it and i believe in you also
it is my habit for the last 55 years and unless i keep it, i will have to change my work i have no clue where i will be in 2011, and in case i will be in another place i will have to adapt myself to the new place, keeping myself trained in reading the rules and laws and be able to folow them is one of the seccret to my succes in my job
finally, read my post, i am not complaining, i am asking for advice

I agree, when you do bend or break the rules and get caught you have to pay the consequences.

and some people is geting punished for NOT breaking the rules too
in real life, what would happen if a whole town will go to the police and complain i DO NOT DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT? what happens in the internet dating sites when several people will complain i follow the rules?
again, i am not complaining i want to undertand and for you that wants to twist things, can you make the effor to be polite once in your life and help a stranger?
kitty01: I agree, when you do bend or break the rules and get caught you have to pay the consequences.
i agree on that concept
but there is another that i cannot undertand
people ask me to light up, and have fun and bend the rules
then if i bend the rules i risk to be punished
in one case i am puinished by the ones bending the rules because i dont want to bend them in the other case i am punished by the site because i break the rules
please dont undertand me wrong
i have not been punished by the site, i am not complaining i am trying to undertand

this is a new world for me
and it certainly a different one isn't it..
but you are right.. sometimes people do get punished unfairly (wherever)... but that too.. is just how it is.. just how things are.
When it comes to rules.. (anywhere in life).. for me at least.. I try to stick to them mostly..
Sometimes I can see it's okay in some situations to bend them a little.. and that usually it's not worth breaking the rules unless it's absolutely necessary .. Because it's just not worth the trouble and hassle that can come from it.

It's fine for you to adhere to the rules...if others choose to bend or break them...that's up to them...let them deal with the consequences....they don't need to be pointed out or reminded....because we are all adults here...so just let them do their thing.....
