For me Freya (in a perfect world) if I skew the answer towards this site being what it is then the answer would be......Being able to indulge in anything sexual that took our fancy but still conversing like normal afterwards. Whatever we choose to do is just an expression of a part of us and I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't like you. It could be silly, it could be taboo, it could be depraved, it could involve me treating you as dirt or you treating me as dirt (in the right mood and with sanity lol) but at the end, being able to share a coffee or a drink and talk :)Trouble is finding someone with an imagination like mine sometimes.

I expect respect and will give it freely to strangers until proven wrong.

peoples actions/behavior.They either respect you or they are disrespectful towards you, I or whoever.Respect to me means they hold some sort of authentic regard towards yourself and themself.It also mean to value other peoples opinions, accepting people for who they are, faults and all.People who are in my inner circle I hold high respect and honor them.If someone is disrespectful they have not valued or respected anothers personal boundaries.FOXY

Again Foxy is pretty much on the money.To me respect and trust hold a close bond... it is hard to respect someone you don't trust and whilst I trust and respect everyone equally when I first meet them if either is broken the both aspects become damaged.Once respect is lost it is just as hard to gain back as trust.

Even if I lose respect for someone, I won't treat them with disrespect. I'll walk away if I can. In my job I work with a few people whom I'd put away for life if I could. But (apart from having to be professional) being disrespectful just says something about me, not them.

Great toon and a great way to live life. Go Aretha! I approach with an assumption all deserve maximum respect (er.. unless the obvious 'Fuk off we're full T-shirt indicates otherwise). 'Do unto others..' is one of the simplest but most powerful ways of life. Unfortunately these days it seems it's in decline in favour of 'grab what you can..'. Nice to be re-enforced sometimes - thanks Freya. : ) x

"Being able to indulge in anything sexual that took our fancy but still conversing like normal afterwards." "Respect to me means they hold some sort of authentic regard towards yourself and themself" "being disrespectful just says something about me, not them." These posts just about sums it up for me. Respect is about acknowledging differences without judgement. - Posted from rhpmobile

I see respect as something you earn. It describes a feeling you develop for others or visa versa - you can't fake it or buy it and the longer it lasts the more powerful it becomes. As an example in the absence of direct information or experience you would be prepared to accept the advice of someone you respect ?"Treating people with respect" is more of an adage that defines the implicit goodwill extended by default when 2 people meet in order to facilitate the "getting to know each other".

It would be very rare that I did not make a decision based on it.Sometimes one may even have to lose a friendship over it.Respect is honesty and honesty earns loyalty. It is a big wordMado

You give everybody respect and trust unless they show reason to take it away. Also respect yourself for if you want others to respect you don't be a slob. Get a haircut and get a real job----Georgie.T

Because of this, I try to treat others with kindness, consideration, tolerance and compassion. Where I don't think I can do this, I try to simply leave them be. I fail often, but I keep learning and improving.

Quoting 'IndefatigableMe'"Treating people with respect" is more of an adage that defines the implicit goodwill extended by default when 2 people meet in order to facilitate the "getting to know each other". I've known some of the at times utterly disrespectful clients I work with for years. I still treat them with respect, because I'm a respectful person and refuse to stoop to their level. And they do notice it's hard to be angry with a respectful person.

you treat people with dignity, and understanding,and if they don't let you down or rip you off...then perhaps you can begin to respect them...respect inst something that's automatically given, or demanded.... its earned, just like trust, admiration, and even affection...and its a two way thing.. i cant and wont respect anyone who doesn't respect me...but i certainly will treat them with dignity, consideration and compassion....

I give people a basic respect straight up, benefit of the doubt so to speak, deeper respect and trust comes from the knowing.

Means treating people with positive human regard, which means behaving in certain ways towards people including listening, using manners, acknowledging what is important to them (without having to agree with it), being mindful of how your own behaviour can make someone feel, for example swearing in front of your grandma There's quite a lot to a little word. I remember a lecturer telling the story of the rabbi's gift in which the moral of the story is to treat everyone with respect and yourself with EXTRAORDINARY respect. I'll never forget that story.

Is often missing on this siteFrom women as they often will allow a hot young thing to get away with shit they should be slapped in the chops for.From men who , dip their cock into women they really should say no to but, hey they are there so what the heckOn the other end, there is a lack of respect just because its a sex site, as many guys think that RHP women are easy sluts who they would never talk to normally out in the street but would slip around in the cover of darkness to fuck.Sex and respect , are given mixed signals in our society. It is a given if your an easy lay , then we do not respect you.nothing changes over the hundreds of years of man woman interaction.For me, I will be decent to a person in any social situation. I will respect their views most of the time but sometimes people do or say something and my lip will curl in distain and then yep respect is out the door. Human nature I guess.Self esteem is the bench mark for getting and giving respect

All respect stems from self respect.

I posted this topic because I think that respect is an over used word,particularly here.On many women's profiles they demand it but don't say they give it,and many men say they are respectful and teat women accordingly.As Idefat says,you can't respect someone that you don't know but as Mes says,you can treat everybody with respect regardless of who they are.Respecting oneself first ,as Lady T says, is the beginning.

actually means to hold someone in high esteem, to admire and to appreciate, to hold in deferential regard... you cant hold strangers in high regard or high esteem... and how do you admire or appreciate someone who is perhaps an unknown quantity? and to hold someone in...'deferential regard'...is something too, that can only happen after carefully assessment....for me..if i don't know someone....anyone... i cant and wont trust them..... and if i cant or don't trust them...there's not even a remote chance I'll respect them... I'll be polite tho, and use my very best manners, and threat anyone i encounter with dignity and care...and in time I may learn to like, trust and eventually even respect them.....

How those respectable , high pillars of the community can gather respect when its not deserved.What people show you is often not what they are. So you may very well be giving your respect to the wrong person and be non the wiser.

Reading your interpretation, shows to me that you hold yourself in a higher place than others and if they meet your expectations then you may treat them with respect. That is to me a disrespectful opinion. How can one receive respect unless it is given first.Treating people with respect is the first part with follow of honesty and trust. Otherwise you have convicted a person before they have committed an offense to your self.I would know a lot less people, a lot less, If I had treated them with such disrespect in the beginning.Mado

its obvious that people are confusing simple good manners and the ability to be polite....with 'respect'...they simply are not the same things.... respect means to hold someone in high esteem...to admire, or to hold in deferential regard..... being polite, or considerate, or showing good manners is about learned behaviours, and being able to use them properly... people simply don't meet others and immediately trust , or admire , or hold each other in high esteem and regard........ffs that's ridiculous... these things can only take time, and are built upon foundations....like repeated behaviour patterns and responses... imagine ...'respecting' someone....only to find out they are into spousal abuse...nah, we'd rather reserve the judgement until we have enough history to work from....
