Do you respect women that message you first??
Posted : 20 Jan, 2012 12:38 PM

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I feel like men dont respect or connect with women who message them first. Am I correct? Because in my experience it has never really worked in my favor. Your thoughts??

I honestly respect them way more than a woman that would rather just sit back and let what she wants slip away and then feel sorry for herself and talk non-stop about how stupid and what wimps men are these days with her gal pals over comfort food to make herself feel better.

In short I respect people that go out for what they want. It may not work out for her, but we know it isn't easy and respect her for trying.

I never really had a problem with women contacting me first. To view the profile of every woman on here I would have to be on here 24/7.

Absolutely! There's nothing wrong with a woman approaching a man. If anything, I think it shows how confident she is and that makes a good first impression :) So far, I have never backed out of a conversation initiated by a lady.



God bless,

Got to agree, I don't see any anything wrong with a girl messaging a guy first. Heck, apposing guys wearing tight jeans earns my disrespect much, much greater than this haha.

If a guy isn't respectful of a female that merely messages him first--I would offer up he probably wouldn't respect her even if he was the first to make contact. As I see it--if a male treats a woman disrespectfully based on the scenario you laid out--chances are the guy has bigger issues than just a lack of respect for a female showing interest first and any woman feeling as if she has been disrespected should consider herself lucky he "outted" himself so readily. It would be a sheer waste of your time to have chatted to a guy for awhile only to find out later he's a whack job with some antiquated ideas about how and when a female expresses initial interest. This isn't really worth pondering over--instead be thankful the insecure control freak types will eventually meet a woman that will bends to his ideas-- count your blessings and be thankful it isn't you. :applause:

Yes, I do, ladywisdom777. Whether I contact them first or they contact me first, we should both be able to expect that our feelings and our needs will be respected, and that we will be developing, if we decide to do so, a new relationship built upon respect and love for God and each other.



So, ladywisdom777, go ahead and contact me first, if your heart would like to and enjoy that. My heart won't reject or disrespect you for contacting me first, if you find yourself interested in a Barefoot Guy To Love like myself and would like to get to know me better.

Respect is a choice and a matter of character,honor.. Someone who has this. Will do this no matter if he is contacted first. Or if he contacts someone first.. I respect women because i honor them. For the gift that they are.. But it is a character trait. You either have it or you don't .

The same as doing the things that are right. Because they are right even when the actions are not seen by others..



The Only thing i would be wary of if contacted first. Is the possibility of scammer. But further communication will expose the intent. Even though i tend to like to be the initiator. It does not hold me back to talking to someone who has contacted me first. As it is nice to know someone was interested in you :))

I would agree with the other posters. Female or Male(just saying it doesn't make a different, not saying men message me, lol), of course I respect anyone who messages me first, in fact I appreciate that they made the bold effort to do so, as I've been in their shoes. So many people these days play "mind games", instead of being real and seeing others as other human beings with feelings regardless of anything. There is almost nothing that a person can do to "mess up" in their impression on me, I see them as another person.

I have taken the reins and sent msgs to guys who i think are interesting and I can probably learn something from, some respond some don't. I think it's good manners all round to get a response saying no I don't think so or not. It's not easy striking up a convo with a total stranger, but I appreciate the effort and will try to make on in turn.
