Judged by the Company We Keep

June 17 2016

I just received a messaged from someone questioning me on why I am friends with someone on my friends list. I was asked whether that is a good thing. I was quite taken aback by this comment as I hardly know the person and the friends list I have are with people I have personally met and enjoyed their company in different capacities , both of sexual and non-sexual nature - people I believe I have a good if not great chance to be friends with in real life. I have other RHP people I have met many times in real life (or at least gotten to know well via forum and PM) that I consider my friends and have not really included in my friends list. Just not have not got around to it, but they know I have their back. There are also some people whom I have met who turned out not what I thought they were and I know would never be friends with in real life due to the manipulations and nastiness they have exhibited to me and other people around me. Quite disappointing. Actions speak louder than words. What and who my friends see outside our time together is not my business as I know they see something there that I may not see and therefor if it suits them to have whoever they want as friends, who am I to say something? They are adults and should be able to discern the toxic from non-toxic people in their lives. I would not want people to dictate to me whom I should be friends with and happy to be judged with the company I keep as it is more reflective of them than I. C'est la vie. So, have you been judged by the company you keep, i.e. guilty (of whatever) by association? What sort of innuendos or judgement were hurled your way and how did you react/handle it? Over to you folks....

    I know I've judged a few people by the cock shots filling their friends list. That's more or less the extent of it.

    Have only one friend and am happy to be judged by that relationship.Do I judge others by their associations,you betcha.There are a few people ,not many,if I see them on a friends list alarm bells ring but that is only if I know their friend in real life. I am not very proactive with friend collecting I must admit lily Q

    IMO, if I had someone question my friendship list, I'd wonder if I really wanted to know them! The greatest judgement I face is that I'm an unsatisfied wife, why else would I be here? How can such a relationship really work? And if I'm on this site, I'd fuck anyone, right? So I'll address this now! I'm a greedy, horny, insatiable woman! In love and lust with her husband, and in lust with a number of other really sexy people ;) I've gone through the transition period and I know a lot more about myself. I've always been discerning, I'm just better at filtering the duds now ;) My journey has included some of the wonderful and amazing people on my friends list on this profile (and my couples profile with hubby) and I'm proud to be associated with these wonderful people, platonically or otherwise. In fact, there are some people on my friends list that have a special place in my heart, I love them dearly! They know the real me, our friendship has transcended into our 'real life'. There are some people not on my friends list, but are wonderfully important to me :) As the saying goes, 'you can choose your friends...' I'm happy with my friends, if others aren't, they can keep moving on ... Mary xx

    of my knowledge, I haven't been judged by the friends on my profile listing. If someone would wish to do so, I would presume that they have had an experience with that particular person, that I have not encountered myself. I don't have many 'friends' listed - I'm not an unabashed collector of friends, just the people that I have made good connections with previously (pretty much all in chat). Nor do I ask for 'friend' status with every person I come across - if it warrants it, it will happen. Lily, I wouldn't be too concerned by someone else's comment to you, unless they have some pretty damning evidence that you should be aware of. The friends on your listing are there because you have deemed them to be the sort of people that you have gotten on with on your own terms, not someone else's. Tall

    I haven't been judged like that on here, but then again I don't have a big friends list. Even if was judged by someone though...I have to wonder how much high ground I could take, considering I have on the occasion formed judgements of people that contact me based on some of the people in their friends list. I never tell them that, and I fully realise it's superficial and may well be a very inaccurate judgement, but nevertheless it's influenced my decisions in some cases. Suppose it might also depend on the circumstances to an extent, e.g. how well I know the person making the judgement and the person they have an issue with, the way they approach me about it, and whether their motivations seem sincere and coming from a good place or not.

    Who I know and who've never done me harm and always treated me well. I treat people the they treat me and sometimes that's not always reciprocated and that's ok too. I've had falling outs here too and thankfully most of those spats have sorted themselves out in time. To wee is human to forgive divine they say. True friends even here can survive all sorts of things. Like LD sometimes the people on a persons friend list has given me pause BUT is it right to judge that person by the company they keep? 🙄 I'm not so sure....everyone's experience with people is different and that doesn't necessarily mean you should give them a wide berth just because your experience with them wasn't good. LilyOrchid is right in people being grown up enough to sort the chaff from the hay. In time I think everyone's true nature shines through. What you do then is up to you based entirely on your own moral compass and values ~ Indy x

    I would be equally taken back Lily, how rude. How I interact with the whole 2 people on my friend lists is my business and if I'm going to be judged by my friends list, well so be it. I simply don't care, my interaction with them is more important than the opinion of others The person I most converse with from here, is not even on my friends list and yet I consider them a friend. Guess that's how it works

    I'm frequently put off by the friends list and think people should put more thought into who they have on there. I currently have no-one, but that's only because I wanted to refresh everything, not a conscious choice. Even guys I see from here, aren't shown as friends. They are, I know that, that's all that matters to me. But I'd rather have none than some that might put others off. Each to their own

    We don't judge by friend lists, not our business who other people get along with. We actually were messaged by another couple that knew some on our list and we are in the process of arranging a meet up with them. So your friend list can also be a positive.

    I don't have any... Does that make me a sad old lady? Perhaps to some. I look at others if I get a msg, only time I think about it is if they are all 30 something year old women, that puts me off but who they actually are is of no concern. I have very varied friends in real life and I'm sometimes queried, when that happens I walk away from that person because I won't be judged and won't listen to my friends being judged. - Posted from rhpmobile

    If they have too many.......I tend to think they are picture hunters or think RHP is adult Facebook. I don't accept any friend requests unless I know the person really well. And I will delete friends when things change. That's why I only have one at present. The friends list is something I do check when looking at a profile and I do make assumptions on who or how many they have. But I wouldn't waste time messaging them to question their reasons. That's their choice and I don't need to know why.

    I dont take a lot of notice in friends lists because I dont think it means thats who they fuck, or want to fuck. Just going by my own list, its people I have met. Some in a social gatherings so it doesnt mean I have slept with them. And it doesnt mean they want to sleep with me. We are just friends. But if people use that list to work me out and see if we may have common ground before contacting...good for them. It shows they take the time to look at a profile before shooting off a random message.

I would spend a great deal more of my time on FaceBook with my 600+ friends and in fact nearly all of them are actual friends of some sort or another. It's become human nature to look for downside before looking up... and perhaps that is what defines anyone. Oh and ''Fwends''?

    I've had a couple of people comment on my friends list. Generally it's "well you've fucked a lot of people" geez I wish I had fucked them all 😜 You see comments even in the forums though when people ask the questions around why they aren't meeting people or such. There are people that always comment "but you have five friends so you must be doing ok" judgement and assumptions at their finest. 🙄

IMO worrying what other people think about me without knowing all the facts is their problem and not mine. I know who I am and I am completely comfortable with that.

    Which positively reinforced the decision to disengage from that person. Eilithiya having ZERO friends on your friends list simply means you haven't been to a Meet & Greet yet to meet the crew and that you are discerning in the company you keep and the people with whom you choose to engage. Nothing wrong with that! All good things come..... I hope you are well Q and keeping cosy in your seaside cottage.

    Ahhh I feel rather enlightened reading this post. I often get judged by my friends list being so many, mostly by people making the gross assumption that I have actually played with all of them, it's laughable. I actually haven't met 99% of them. I don't send out friend requests at all, it doesn't hold any value or importance to me. Just figured it may have been a maybe a generational thing, or an ignorance thing on my part given that I don't Facebook either. However I just tended to appreciate that while it doesn't mean anything to me, it might mean something to someone else and therefore accept all friend requests with the intention of simply being polite. It's not like it gives them any degree of access into my personal life or special privileges on my profile page. Each time I have been attacked for having so many it has confused me why people take it so personally, now I understand the varying differences of opinion and what that represents to others. Im now thinking perhaps to avoid unnecessary controversy or offence I should just delete them all and avoid the speculations of others 👏

    I have only ever had two friends here at RHP, both women who I introduced to RHP, they are not "friends" with this incarnation.I will not be having anybody in my "friends" status because of the fact that it will be displayed on my profile. That is not to say I have not made any friends here. I would prefer to put my RHP friends on my hotlist so I can be notified of their logging in, out and posting without anybody else knowing about them.I must say that in real life I do tend to avoid people who are friends with people I choose not to associate with and that it does affect how I feel towards them. I'd like to deny this but in all honesty I can't.

    if I've been judged by my friends list or not. These days it is very limited in number as I don't tend to add people just because I received a request. In the past I have considered whether to add profiles or not based on their content. The thought being that their profile might somehow reflect on me. My thinking has changed and now feel that a person makes a profile of what they want to share with the world, be it a cock shot or not. That is their thing and a reflection of the profile owner so it no longer embarrasses me. I do look at friends lists before I meet someone but only out of curiosity and not a judgemental thing at all. Its interesting to see if we have mutual friends. Having been to a few meet and greets and parties its always interesting to see where people I've met or know pop up. Having someone question my friendship with another RHPer would make me feel uncomfortable and make me wary of that persons motives. LG

    We start judging our environment from the day we are born. We learn by making judgement. Judgments regarding people can be wrong as human being are most complex. It is personal choice how much you want to judge every clue you get about others. If you follow these key rules it will work well. a) Do not over read people.b) Leave some room for error in your judgement for any corrections.

    1. If someone has 50/100+ friends, I ask myself what importance would I be in their life if I accept a friend request? 2. If they have many friends, all of which are fit, muscle bound male bodies, somehow, I think messaging them would not be successful... 3. However, I will be favourably inclined if they are friends with someone else on here that I know/have met and trust. So that could be a form of positive judgement :)

    fessing up, I've done exactly what that guy did. I've told men and women I don't like who I see on their friends list. How did that go down, not well. Would I tell anyone again, probably not. Would I still judge, do I still judge based on that, yes, and I believe many do. So they can either be honest about it, and risk the wrath of the person you're telling, or just go quiet. These days, I go quiet. So many guys must wonder why I just go quiet, many reasons, but that's a biggie for me. Discretion is the big thing for me and I've seen people on the forum I wouldn't trust as far as I could kick them, outing personal shit, so anyone who is associated with them, it's a big no from me. I let my guard down once with a guy who I knew had been in contact with a real piece of work, discretion wasn't in her vocabulary, never hooked up with him but trusted him and we talked often, until he started asking me if I knew *insert name*, thought he used to work with me etc etc? Fuck, I lost the plot. He knew my name and personal stuff we'd been talking about. I'm not here to have people pry into my private life. It's none of their business and they shouldn't be talking about me, simple as that. So trust for me, is a big thing, and I only form new connections with those I trust 100%. That can take time to find them, but the only way I travel. So that's the biggest concern for me. Very different talking on here in a generic way, to actually talking about people to others either from the forum or the website. The old locker room talk isn't something I want to get caught up in

    all of us are judged by others throughout our lives. The identity of those who would pass judgement, the level of scrutiny they apply, the bearing or significance of their judgement, and indeed the competence and credibility of those who would judge all may vary. Often times, people who do judge are not forthcoming with their assessments - at least not so far as the target of those assessments are concerned. (Perhaps those people are acutely conscious that to do so would open themselves to similar character assessments?!) I have lived, worked, travelled and socialised with a vast array of people all over this country and several others. This includes people of different socio-economic, political, religious, cultural, nationality, trade/professional backgrounds. I know that if all those people were gathered to a single location at the one time, a very large number would not see eye to eye. Some might agree to disagree, some would be vehemently opposed to one another. Whilst I would like for all of them to get along, I know it is not realistic for me to expect this to actually occur. Even I do not agree with everyone I know or would call friend. (Hell, that's even the case within my own family!) That is not to say there is no value in the friendships I've made with this vast, disparate group of people; to the contrary, I think the differences between people, their ideas, their cultures, and all the other ways people categorise one another make life interesting (even if sometimes "challenging"). Now, that said (and as I've pointed out previously), whilst it's interesting to observe some of differences between us all, I think it's far more important to note and to remember we all have far more in common than we might immediately realise. I think this is too frequently overlooked and friendship (even the potential for friendship) is spoiled for lack of rational, reasoned thinking. I guess it's just another of those things to work on. What do you do?

    "It’s not a good idea to hear and see everything that goes on. Let many injuries just pass us by: the person who doesn’t register most of them doesn’t suffer them. You don’t want to be inclined to anger? Don’t be inquisitive. The person who asks what remarks were made about him and unearths nasty gossip even if it was kept secret just upsets himself. Interpreting certain things a certain way makes them look like injuries. The proper course is to defer some things, laugh off others, and forgive still others". Seneca On Anger 3.11

    Ive met guys with no friends at all on their list, and Ive met guys with over 100 friends on their list. Its their business. I want to get to know them, not the people they have on any list. When I started on RHP I turned down a guy for having a long list and a few validations. I met him a few months later and was ashamed...he was a really nice guy and we saw each other a few times. I learned my lesson.

    we have quite a large friends list due to the fact we're a social bunch over here in WA and we've met a few people along the journey. We actually clarify in our profile it's not a list of conquests. The only judgement we really make from a friends list is whether or not to message based on their friends list. If the common theme is fit, hard bodied couples/women who describe themselves as attractive or very attractive we tend to steer clear as we are quite obviously not what they are looking for. As for being judged by our friends list...go ahead. We're proud to know each and all of them, and socialise with a lot of them on regular occassions (and maybe even play with one or two....you never know). I think quite a few on our list recently attended my 40th with my vanilla friends and family, and the world didn't implode.

    Yes, I currently have 42 friends on my RHP profile. I only accept requests from people I have met and like. As 3some said we are a social bunch over here in WA. Have I had sex with them all? NO, the percentage is surprisingly low. Are there people I have had sex with that are not on the list, ABSOLUTELY! Am I judged by people assuming I have bedded them all? YES. Do I care? Not really. I'd prefer to avoid narrow minded and judgemental people. If my friends list weeds them out, win win :) I also have validations and have given validations. I prefer them not to be of a sexually explicit nature as details of with whom and how I conduct myself sexually is not for mass consumption.

    ...a friend is someone I would kill or die for. I need two hands (but not all 10 digits) to count mine and consider myself blessed. RHP serves a very useful purpose, but making friends as I understand the term is not it.

    I have seriously met people on here who I count amongst my very best friends on this planet- this is definitely a role Rhp plays in my life.... And no I don't mean sexy friends- I mean platonic best friends who will be my friends forever. Xx Miss L. Ed

    I think that's a great rule, and it's one that pretty much applies to the lovely people on my friends list too.

    The type of true friend/s of which you speak can be made anywhere. It's not the stage setting that is important but the performance of the character before you. The fact that you can dismiss people in here from being your true friend because of this setting merely tells us that we are not missing anything by not knowing you.

    this happens in all forms in all places. judgement is everywhere humans seem to be. i think the best advise is to simply not give a f... "why do you talk with..." "but that person doesnt like my..." "why did you help..." seriously, some people need to grow up. unless we are befriending some criminals & aiding in the hurt of others, then nobody has any right to pipe up ...time to finish the morning coffee i think!

    but now that I understand that I have violated club rules I invoke the Groucho defence. Oh, and Annie, if I wanted to cause offence I would put on my best outrageous French accent and say, "........", well, I'm sure you know your Monty Python.

"why did you help..." seriously, some people need to grow up. unless we are befriending some criminals & aiding in the hurt of others, then nobody has any right to pipe up ...time to finish the morning coffee i think! sorry, but you say we don't have a right to pipe up? Yes we do thank you very much, commenting on topic about the topic within a forum, is why the topics are raised, whether or not you agree. Your statement below was the title to your comment, which didn't transfer with reply with quote but really? You see, we have every right to make our own selection based on our own personal feelings, nothing to do with your choices or anyone else's, but OUR OWN choices. WE are the ones who will be intimate with these people so how is it good to fuck them even if we're turned off by the other people they either fuck or are friends with? And that's the individual nature of this. You can't tell someone else how they should feel when they look at a profile and friends lists, same as some are turned off by certain races or body type, age etc., our reaction/attraction is what it is, and you should respect that. You can have your way and I can have mine, others can have there's, of how they makes those choices, but why so harsh with your comment which seems to be a judgement in itself and quite rude IMO, see below humans are horrible things at times We all judge. If we didn't, we'd all be fucking the same people. That my friends, is reality

    to be clear, I'm not attacking you the person, but your comment. Name calling and saying we don't have a right to 'pipe up', those were the things that offended me. Plenty of people have come in to say how they think it's wrong to judge based on the friends list, that's fine, just giving their opinion and what it's like for them, but insulting people who do and suggesting we shouldn't have our say, that was what was offensive to me, just my 2 cents

    you are free to think however you wish, but you clearly missed the point. i was not referring to people expressing their thoughts about things on forums etc, or anything to do with rhp in general. simply relating to the topic of being judged by the company we keep. it happens in workplaces, in families, at academic institutions, the list goes on... if you want to make a judgement about someone based on their friends etc, then you can do so internally. but when people start attacking others, interfering with their lives/careers, etc and putting up roadblocks simply because they done like someone the other person is associated with, that is extremely childish, to say the least. so by all means, be offended by my post, but you missed the point entirely. and the miss could probably say the same thing in regards to being offended by your comments when the post was created about peoples first toy, etc...and suggesting that she learn how to use her hands. again, missing the point, hands are not toys. and thank you summersolstice, at least someone gets it.

It did tickle my imagination to no end, to wonder at the mind/s that decided to make that a function of the machine... As a long time sci-fi buff, maybe, once upon a time. But I'm bettin' by the time man gets there, space will be at a premium. Peachy
