I too do not encourage being rude for the sake of it. In my opinion, going out of your way to be rude is just a method of seeking attention. It was very surprising to me when many girls were shocked and appalled by the way I view things. I would say that I was never considered rude at most times. They probably just listen to me and see me as this guy with this fvcked up way of looking at things.Originally posted by Hound_of_Love
I'm with you there. Well, up to a point anyway. I won't go out of my way to be rude to people but I won't pretend to like them if I don't and I won't put up a false front for people (male or female) and I won't agree with them simply to get their approval.
I would like to add one other thing. Never expect anything to change. You could try, but remember that it is probably going to be futile. I argue my points with girls because I want to see how they respond and argue their points. I 'dig' until there's nothing left and I leave it at that. I do not try and go down that road any more because it's a dead end. Going there will only create more tension and that person will probably no longer be my friend because I'll come across as trying to indoctrinate them. It's all about understanding the other person better and not about forcing a person to conform to your ideals.
