Kissing Winston's Yellow Ass
Posted: April 9th, 2012, 6:55 pm
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this forum. I have been on a few, and the folks here are the most open-minded. On some forums - from Yahoo Answers, to expat forums, to PUA forums, etc - people seem poised to attack a poster like crocodiles.
Non-Answers
"There are beautiful women EVERYWHERE!"
Personal Attacks
"You're probably fat and bald!"
Attempted Jedi Mind Trick
"Why don't you date someone your own age!"
Vengeance
"If anyone tried that with me I would..."
Moral Instruction
"True beauty is on the INSIDE!.....ASSHOLE!"
Care and Concern
"Why are you so worried about ______?"
Helpful Advice
"Just research it before you go."
...and so on.
Here, people seem to listen, rather than pounce.
While there are occasional dust-ups here, they seem to die down. Noone seems to derive their jollies in life from tearing others down.
So I have to hand it to you, Mr. Wu. Yo seem to have created, online, a community that in some ways reflects the values you found missing in America.
Well done!
