+ 1 Unmannerly
ad
Does it irritate anyone else when a member acknowledges another members hard work and leaves a comment or a +1-2-3, and then that member does not respond and say "hey thank you"?
What are you some kind of conceded bastard and cannot respond with a polite response?
Do you do that when your out and someone says "hey you look great", what do you say? Nothing and walk away saying to yourself "ya I know"
Stay humble people cause life can throw a lot of shit at you and you may be thanking people for wiping your ass one day.

I've very rarely ever told anyone when I upvote. I always just compliment them and leave it at that.
I always kind of looked at it like saying +1 is like slapping a mans ass while playing sports.
Not really my thing
I feel you on the manners part. It's easy to lose sight of that when you're playing a virtual game. People lose themselves in a persona or aometimes people just really are assholes. Either way I always treat people the way they treat me.
Im the same way concerning the +1 thing. I do upvote when I leave a positive comment to someone...but for some reason I feel it devalues my genuine comment like oh...and heres a dollar. On the flip side if someone comments myself and leaves a +1 it isn't even noticed...the comment is what is noticed...
Ace VenturaI've always wanted to do a post on 'website etiquette', but I'm far too lazy. I agree though. I always put forth an effort to reply to every comment on pics I posted. Now that I don't post pics because I'm a big fatass, I don't have to worry about that anymore.
I dont expect praise for my contribution to this site. If I compliment someone I dont expect a response. Is it nice to be acknowledged? Sure but I don't do it with that in mind, I just know many people don't have manners but I don't let it fuck up my day. Fuck em maybe they'll choke on broken glass :).
Terrifically fkn put!
Thank you for your service, sir!
Not a problem, here for you guys and bfg. Don't call me sir, I work for a living :).
Yes, that's why I took a break from writing long messages for the time being
That's why I usually wait to see some comments posted first. If the op can't come back in and respond to folks who are trying to encourage, then I just say fk it and move to the next pic. The other thing that I think is rude and pisses me off is when some arrogant fk cherry picks who he responds to. I really want to be able to be nice and supportive of everybody, but some of these guys make it very difficult.
It does make me think, "fk yourself then". I just never comment again.
Agree with this 100% some of the higher ranking guys forgot what manners are
Steveb+1
Added this to my favorites...
Now thank me lest I think you're an ingrate.
ROTFLMAO!
Nice post +1
;)
Um... I +1'd your and you didn't say thank you...
Why thank you, but I did not post a pic of the veins in my forearms from wanking it today.
lol
I dunno. Steroids put me in some strange moods. So, I don't think I'm different than most people - so other folk are maybe in strange moods also. So, I don't pay it much attention and don't get offended.
I agree with your premise, but it doesn't really bother me. Sometimes a generic response is more bothersome than nothing. Regardless, manners seem to have taken a downward projection recently.
Doesn't bother me personally, but I have to admit I am one for good manners. My mother used to say "manners cost nothing".
Sounds like a smart woman. One that raised her boy correctly.
She was Italian. Never argue with Italian women unless you like getting hurt
Ain't that the truth. My grandmother used to chase kids with the broom if kids trespassed the vegetable garden, Nicest women unless you fuck with her garden!
stay humble... true.. but don't give compliments or points excpecting a thank you do it because you mean it and then you won't care if it gets acknowledged or not
Tink22Good point!
TronMan, honestly sometimes it may just be they didn't see the comment.. at least not right away. I've had people respond to my comment and not get notified via email and then I see the comment and it was someone asking me a question a week ago and feel like a douche bag about it.. like I just ignored them. Of course there are different scenarios .. I've seen guys and gals post pics with complete arrogance commenting in the post things like "RIPPED!!" or "HUGE!!" and when I see that I just choose not to comment nor give karma.. or try to find a slight chink in the armor and try to give them a complex about it ;)
I do not take it personally as I give points for only a few reasons. Those with advanced or above I simply leave a comment about what ever it is they spoke about and if I give points I do not state that I did so. I just plus 2 them. At some point it has to mean less and less compared to the fact that you helped someone in some way. If the individual is really green but trying to be helpful and I give them karma I state how what they did was helpful and that is why I am giving them 2 points. I do not expect them to thank me because If I gave ten points out that day over several different topics I really do not spend a lot of time going back over those topics unless it is a highly informative one. I like to give credit when credit is due and move on.
Stay humble people cause life can throw a lot of shit at you and you may be thanking people for wiping your ass one day.
^ That is very true and well put. Just to give a real life example, a good of mine that I have known for about 15 years used to be SMOKIN HOT while we were in high school, undergrad and grad school together. She never really worked out, but was always very fit and just sort of a "natural beauty" - and she knew it. She was very conceded, thought her shit didn't stink because of how hot she was. THEN about three years ago she found out that she had been rolling with an undiagnosed thyroid condition for a couple of years and her thyroid completely tanked not long after. Now she 5'1" and pushing 300 lbs. She is still a good friend of mine... But that's about all I can say.
Stay humble, because you never know when life is going to kick you right square in the dick and rearrange your position on the totem pole
This is a great example of what I was trying to get across. I bet she has a "great personality" now that she has been humbled. Either that or she is miserable and nasty and hates the world.
Haha it all depends on who you are to her man. To me and her inner circle- she really is a sweet girl with a good heart. To the other 99% of the world she tries to mask her personal insecurities with a nasty bitchy attitude that only highlights the same insecurities she is trying to cover up.
So true, I have quite a few examples of this from girls I grew up with who now look like the shithouse door off a tunaboat and they used to be the hottest. Speaking of acknowledgement I left the gym yesterday and this guy who was very toned and defined with maybe 6%BF but had some sort of thing where he thought he was a monster as he walked with his arms so far out was in front of me while I was leaving the gym. His hot ass girlfriend was in front of him, she held the door for him and then started to leave herself and he saw me and just kept walking to let the door hit my face and she grabbed the door and held it for me. She saved her boyfriends face because common courtesy dictates when you do an asshole move like that you get slammed to the concrete showing off in front of your girlfriend.
Shithouse door off a tunaboat. lolololol. I'm stealing that one from you, if you don't mind.
I knew I should have patented that saying. They also smell the same too lol.
Haha! You gotta love those guys. There is someone just like that at the gym I go to. Very cut and lean but might weigh 160 and yells louder than Mel Gibson in Braveheart as he does bicep curls with 20 lb dumbbells and then struts around the gym with good arms bowed out like he is Ronnie Colman. I love to catch his smokin hot girlfriend looking at me in the mirror and shoot a wink and a smile back at her. She blushes and immediately looks away every time but I love knowing that she knows what's up and can't hide it. It's probably happened at least 15 times in the last two months and it this point there is almost as awkward tension when I am in the weight room with her and her boyfriend. It's a good situation for me though because it is just added motivation for me to get jacked as hell and push three times as much as her boyfriend weighs just to catch her attention.... I keep trying to convince myself that she is just how sister and they train together but that is all wishful thinking :-P
Good way of looking at it, I think I just might ask her if it's her brother she is with the next time I see them together. I need to think of something to say after especially if she says yes lol. You are correct about the weight though, he was lifting small amounts and grunting like the 25lb dumbbell was 100.
Haha that is too funny Mack. I bet these two guys would hit it off like peas and carrots of they ever met. If she says that the guy is her brother I think that asking her if she had any plans that weekend would be a good place to start ;-)
If they did meet it would be some weird bromance but at least they would both be in the corner running their hands over each others abs all homo intended. I CANT STOP SAYING BRO, BRO! fkn best direct tv ad ever.
My wife and I are always pointing at the guys who won't be having any mayo today. lol
LMFAO deja vu, the wife and I do that at least once a day.
Skinny arms are the funniest thing ever these days! lol
Combine that with the dadbod and we have a winner.
Hahaha meat head Rob Low- I fkn love it! Your post reminded me of one of my favorite gym stories of all time so I am going to share with you guys- So back a long time ago in a far away land when I was in undergrad I trained at our college gym with my best friend who was the captain of our school's rugby team and a competitive power lifter. This guy is 100% Polish and at the time was 6'4, 340 lbs, built like a football lineman with a huge barrel chest and about an 80 lb gut, had a beard down to his tits and more body hair than a fkn bear.
So anyway, we're at the gym one day and this guy who was about 5'8, and 160 lbs is standing in front of one of the wall mirrors with his shirt pulled up flexing his abs and making a duck face at himself in the mirror. My buddy sees this and walks up right next to him and pulled his shirt up and let his big, hairy, sweaty guy fall out slapped it, made a duck face and yelled "Oh yeah bitch! That's the way I like it!" then came back to where I was and finished doing deadlifts. The look of horror on that other guys face is really what made it for me.
Probably doesn't sound nearly as funny just reading but had you been there... Holy shit I have never laughed so hard in my life!
Just happened to me I posted somewhere and the op responds to everyone but me lol. Guess I'm not the cool kid
What you talkin about. You've always been the cool kid. at least in my book.
Xmon man you're not the cool kid. You're THE COOL KID and the op is just intimidated by you. Their like "omg I can't believe rolltide responded omg what should I say. Nothing I'm gonna just play it cool".
I don't find it irritating brother as everyone is different!
Personally speaking, whenever I post a pic and someone takes the time to respond and give positive feedback, I'll always give thanks!
I was raised to treat people with respect and dignity! Whenever you walk into a room, you greet people and say hello! And always say please and thank you, it's just common courtesy!
Brother, if everyone had even 25% of your traits the world would be a much better place.
Thank you for your kind words GP! I'm so very humbled!
i remember a few years back there was a post like this, and there was another in the opposite saying it pisses others off when they respond, i know what your saying though big fella, i look at it like when you treat a girl to a bit of the old saveloy/ sausage, they can at least clean up their own mess....... etiquette lol.
