I won't like that stuff bother me. I have real life issues that are more important to me than what a perfect stranger calls me.

LOL, y'all are too much! 
However, if a woman contacted me with dear or sweetie or anything else like that its an instant ignore. It doesn't offend me but it is a red flag in the introduction dept. The last thread about this subjects was entertaining, I'm curious if this one will be equally so. [thinking]Might want to consider who ya give power over you to.[/thinking] This makes sense to me! |

Hello jetbee
when it comes to the use of the word "dear" there is often a cultural misunderstanding online of what the word means . Dear .. used as a salutation in letter writing does not carry the same meaning as when granny calls her relatives dear or a husband calls his wife dear . Many from other countries do not understand this concept . Their intention is likely not to offend .. they may think they are using appropriate etiquette ( as in writing a letter ) . Chin up .... and focus on what you enjoy about the site . At least you have the power to send them to the mingle wastelands 
The people who have been calling me Dear etc. have all been from either Canada or the U.S. so I really don't think it is a cultural difference. It seems to me that it's more of an entitlement issue. Just because women on a dating site does not mean they should be subjected to a lack of respect by any man. My user name is Jetbee not Dear, Sweetie, etc. I appreciate your comments. Yes, I am very grateful for the blocking feature on here... not just for this issue but for many other problems! actually jetbee you will find that most of those profiles only claim to be from the us and canada. the vast majority of them you will find are scripted and phishing for way more than conversation with you. |

Do you mean the green stuff Eric? The people who have been calling me Dear etc. have all been from either Canada or the U.S. so I really don't think it is a cultural difference.
