How long are you going to :wallbang: They just don't get it.
In post after post, it is pretty much repeating the same thing.

In their opinions, if someone gets offended or hurt by what you might say, it's their problem not yours. They should grow some balls or get a thicker skin etc.
You are just wasting your time with this one enmos.
 
Based on my personal experience, actually I guess it is a multicultural misunderstanding.

In my class I have some latin american friends. They are from Brazil, Chile, Argentina,
and Mexico. Most of them are pretty straight talking and loud, what some
people consider rude could be seen as normal for them.

In my former office which is a Japan company, if we make eye contact during
meeting, it is consider as rude. So, when I had to do presentation in front of
them, I tried not to look at one Japanese person more than 3 consecutive
seconds :p. Nobody also look at me, they are either look at my slide or at
their own notes.

When more than one culture meet, I think people should adapt and increase
the level of tolerance... We should be a bit more tolerant to Varda, and Varda
should be a bit careful to us, lol :p Otherwise clash happens. :shrug:

Unravel Some of the Mystery in Japanese Etiquette...

The Importance of Limiting Eye Contact
Also, it’s important not to make a lot of direct eye contact. Japanese find this uncomfortable. One way to cope with this difficult situation is to look at the eyes and then away or preferably down before looking again. This doesn't mean that you should stare at your shoes. You can look at various places on the face before looking back at the eyes. For example eyebrows, mouth area etc. Try this simple rule: limit eye contact to 25% of the time.

awwwwwwwwwwww Well where I live I can see finding a "nice" girl isn't an easy task. There are a hell of alot of snouty bitches, more interested in what car you drive than what kind of person you might be.

That's the problem with getting attached to someone online. Usually they don't live anywhere remotely close or turn out to be married :eek:

It's so much easier for women. You go out somewhere and men just come up to you. Then you can decide if you want to talk further with someone, especially if you are shy like me. I would have a really hard time, if it was on my shoulders to go up and start a conversation with a guy. When I was single though, I did meet a few ppl in person that I had met online.
