I respect tact far more than bluntness.

@Dolimyte Maybe because they keep it real.

I'm like you, I would prefer truth with a bit of tact.

But it shows that they're not afraid to say what needs to be said.

Constructive useful criticism not mindless useless gossip.

Couldn't say, but would you prefer me beat around the bush or get straight to the point?

Nevaeh0081 · 36-40, F

@TheMountainMan there's two ways to look at that.

If it's the latter, then I agree with you.

@Nevaeh0081 like,if you need to tell me something, [i]tell me the thing.[/i] Dancing around it serves no purpose but to irritate me.

Nevaeh0081 · 36-40, F

@TheMountainMan I totally agree with you.

I'm just saying, beating around the bush, literally means ...

But, yes, get to the point.

I don't. Sometimes they're too blunt.

No idea -- usually when someone takes pride in being blunt or "telling it like it is" it's just an excuse for being a rude jackass.
