Expectations and Perceptions

May 28 2011

So on the forums you may have noticed that there is always a few topics that get raised time and time again.When you look a little a deeper,you may begin to realise that alot of the dare I say it grief and confusion is derived from people's perception and expectations as to what they are going to get out of being on an Adult Social Networking and Dating site. So my question is, if there was a RHP for Dummies being written that all first time users had to read before venturing onto the site, what would you say were the most important things that they would need to know?Eg;Don't expect anything from anyone and you won't be disappointed.If it seems too good to be true......it probably is!!There will always be more men than women looking.Realise that many people do not read profiles before making contact and nothing you do will ever change thatThat good email doesn't always translate into good chemistry in person.Aim not to take it personally!

    Plus: . 1) Keep a sense of perspective and don't lose sight if the "bigger picture" 2) Don't make this place the centre of your universe - RHP can get a little habit-forming if you forget Number 1 3) Try to remember that what excites one man or woman, will not necessarily excite another. 4) A well-written profile is well worth your time and effort 5) A picture speaks a thousand words .

    Plus...1.) Make your own rules about things you feel strongly about and stick to them. You made them for a reason and trust that, especially as you find your feet in the RHP world. You may, in time, re-write those rules and that's okay too.2) Be honest at all times. It can be hard to reject someone after an online rapport has been established, but if the chemistry isn't there in person, it isn't there and you just have to say so.3) Try and meet sooner rather than later so that 2) is less likely to occur.4) For couples, never 'take one for for the team'. It isn't worth it.5) For couples, your own partnership must come before fun from RHP. Understand that RHP has its place in your relationship but recognise and remember where that 'place' is.It's a great idea; a blog of tips!! Good thinking Nudie.Jakxx

    - Just like in real life, if a woman says she is not interested, walk away with your head held high. You wouldnt ask her to explain her reasons why face to face, dont do it here either. - Just becasue this is a predomanently sex site you still need to remind yourself that there is a real person behind the photo not a sex worker with an appointment book in front of them LOL. - Remember that everyone on here is searching for something particular to their needs, and these may not meet your own regardless of attraction to a profile. - Be respectful in contact messages, no-one deserves anything less, no matter what their kinks or fetishes may be. -Do have a picture (at least) in your private galleries that you can give access to (in your first contact message is good) - Be honest in your messages, you want to be true to yourself and the other person should it become a longer term fwb or possibly relationship. Don't start anything with lies.

    You girls have got it spot on. And if your going to be on here make the effort with your profile. No generic crap or ask me's (just my opinion). Oh and honesty in photos.......keep them private in your PG if you like but have some face shots in there at least. Enjoy, have fun and you never know what might happen.

    I usually expect nothing but some fun, from guys off this website, but recently I got rolled. Met a guy who was lost for words on the first date by my beauty ( in his words). He flattered me no end, and I started to think that something amazing was going on here (sparks were flying). Of course we hooked up later that night and it went really well.The next date I stayed over his house and it was all good that night, but the next morning he was rude to me with no apology or explanation as to the change of heart.. Ive never got so annoyed, I actually sent a WTF? message only to be ignored.The rest Im a bit ashamed of, but I told him that I didnt appreciate the way he treated me, and all he replied was - "duely noted" ( no apolgy) Im telling you it still bothers me. Im usually the strong, confident one who can handle herself, but failed. Wish I read the terms and conditions you highlighted above before I went and made a fool of myself. Now he thinks Im a psycho stalker. Due this being my side of the story Im sure it is biased, so If you are reading this, please feel free to share your details of events.
