Ad hominem attacks are sanctioned on all serious forums. This is not a serious forum, but a lounge for fun and relaxation as a part of a dating site, so it seems that different rules apply here. I haven't spent much time here, but it seems that most members are here for many years, quarreled among themselves over and over again and some were even couples before (at least virtual ones), so no wonder why there's so much tension here.
I met some people who wanted to talk via private messages but NEVER wanted to leave a dating site or a forum. They always pretended that they worried about their privacy or that I was probably someone not to be trusted. They never had anything - Facebook, Instagram, skype, WhatsApp - ridiculous today when everyone has a smartphone. Some would - in the end - give me some free e-mail address that looked like: 152fhjeueu663d@... The funniest thing was that they weren't scammers. They wrote long messages about their private life (true or fake - who knows ) and they were very nice and friendly. But on the site only. So I often wondered what was their problem and who they were... Probably some lonely people. Maybe even 40+ years older than me, pretended to be younger, in order to find someone to talk to and who would listen to them. There are many weird people on the internet nowadays...
Every dating site needs as many members as possible, so why would they do that? Nobody would ever join an empty dating site. I doubt there would be many people left if all inactive people get deleted.
Many men on dating sites have told me they never contact women who have no profile photo and since men are very visual creatures - I believe them. I doubt that any man would exchange messages with a faceless woman here or anywhere.
This kind of attitude actually supports bullies on social media. People often say: "if you get upset if someone insults you - it's your own fault! You are not strong enough!", but the opens the door to bullying of all kind and makes nice people who want normal conversation leave that place. In the end you only have bullies left bullying each other. Sooner or later that type of aggressive behavior will start to show in their real life, too.
I was told by some people that in some countries people can even be forbidden to have profiles on social media, at least with their real name and photos. Companies simply don't allow them.
I met quite a lot of "I'm here to chat because I'm bored, but don't want anything really" type of men on dating sites. They are such time-wasters! But they can be so aggressive - sending messages all day long, occupying your time... Several weeks/months later you realize that they are just fooling around and waste your time.
I react nicely, although - to be honest - I started to lose patience for all those weird people sneaking around virtual reality - forums, social media - just to spread hate or fight or insult someone.
The other day I was chatting on some thread of a local forum, when a man jumped in and started insulting and swearing like crazy. He didn't like what we were talking about and - instead of saying that in some normal manner - he started acting like some lunatic. Just a day before that event he was writing a comment after comment how people had become impolite and rude and uncivilized. And then he behaved just the same as the ones he had previously criticized!
I was so angry that I asked him if he spoke like that in real life, too, or pretended to be nice and polite (one of the "civilized ones" he was so eagerly talking about) while using us (his forum "buddies") as a trash can for his anger and rage. He didn't reply, just went away. But I got really really upset. It happened 3 days ago and I'm still upset.
Something like that can ruin your day on a place where you came to have some fun, chat and relax.
