in real life respect is gone because in my eyes people are to busy with other things. KIds go to childcare..people work hard..but no time to really raise the kids. To much information makes them numb for bad news..and therefor less sensitive.
On the web..people don't see faces. Actually there are people that don't even think about the fact that there is an other person which you talk too.
The distance gives them courage to be ruder. In real life they know they have the risk to get hit.

There are two reasons why I poof, apathy and desperation.

1. Apathy, first let me preface this with the way my brain turns-- I'm a processor which means that when I am in the moment I am really in the moment, later I process that moment and think about how I felt and what I'm thinking.  When I poof out of apathy it's because I've decided in retrospect that there isn't enough going on there to keep me interested in continuing.  I also tend to procrastinate so even if I had the good intentions of a closure communication, by the time I get around to it, the window for oppurtunity has passed.

2. Desperation, his now mine.  Somewhere along the lines of communication he's either indicated or come right out and illustrated that he's not going to take regection well.  I wasn't put on this earth to make everyone else happy, I'm here for me and if poofing is going to be the most effective way for me to move on, then that is the path that I will take.  All too often when you try to remain civilized by bringing an actually closure the desperate person will use ever second he has of brow-beating you, harrassing you, begging and pleading with you, whatever method he thinks he can use to sway you to change your mind and stick around because it's pleasing to him and he has no regards for your feelings.  I have to spend enough time dodging these types of communications from my daughter's father, and have been for 18 years, why would I open the door up for others to do the same?

Status: offline 		I would have to say that in my experience common respect is not common.  It went the way of the dinosaur and pants that fit and don't expose your butt crack when you walk.  I think society as a whole, at least in this country, is too busy worrying about how to be the top dog that they've forgotten how to treat other human beings.
As for men dealing with rejection, a MAN will deal with it just fine.  Some of these cheap thrift store knockoffs will act just like you have pointed out.The worst you'll hear from me when I get rejected is probably, "Oh well.  Hope you find what you're looking for."

As luck would have it, you're invited to be a sacrificial lamb - thinking is not a pre-requisite.

Status: offline 		Respect as a whole in this country is just plain gone, common or otherwise.  Example :  Starting with the most basic respect of all growing up..... When was the last time anyone either used or heard the term "Respect your elders" ?  I remember hearing it often growing up. And consequently I learned to respect my elders. If I am speaking  to someone who may be an elder, I still use words like sir or maam and mr and mrs.

The reason I am using this as an example, is that I really havnt heard the term used since I was a kid. Which has been a few years now, and the kids that grew up after me not hearing or learning that basic phrase, have now grown into these so called "men" of today.

Imagine where we are going to be in another 10-18 years ?????

ETA: Sorry I saw something about disrespecting others on account of rejection......and shit like that just pisses me off......End rant.
