What is appropriate?

Been reading and posting to an interesting individual and was considering sending a private message. They had the following:
Message Introduction
Not here for inappropriate chat, so if that is your intentions....run along

Based on some of their post it was/is difficult to decide where the line of "inappropriate " lies. Such a subjective call

🤔here's an idea
You want to message them....
just do it

Be a gentleman🤨
Be appropriate.

Get to know them....you'll have a better feel of how things will and can go

😉it's easy.... just like how you talk to people in real life

You're in your mid to late 50s and you can't figure out what inappropriate means 🙄 and have to write a post about it

rfhh1959 · 61-69, M

@HannahSky actually in my 60's and fond of language. It is a subjective word and having fun with the overly serious

HannahSky · F

@rfhh1959 yeah ok 🙄

They don't want to chat about sex. When the word inappropriate is used in the context of messaging it almost always refers to sex chat. What the user posts about has no bearing on that.

@rfhh1959 Sure, that's you, but online it almost always means sex chat of any kind.

@rfhh1959

@Infobot is correct ... if you even have to consider it subjective ... then, it is not.

If it is a lady you are referring to ... then it is a capital letter DO NOT DO IT

rfhh1959 · 61-69, M

@questionWeaver subjective is a word that tells you that something is open to interpretation what I find inappropriate you may have no issue with and vice versa but if you tell me precisely you don't wish to discuss a subject that is objective statement. Again I am just having some fun throwing this out here because so many people take it so seriously in here. What I find amusing is the person I was discussing has actually commented in here and not calling themselves out I suspect they find it is amusing as I and if they do I would welcome them saying so privately so not to out themselves

Sounds very familiar....hmmmmmm

I would say they don’t want you sexting them. Introduce yourself, be a gentleman, and let them set the parameters.... just because someone may post or comment in a “inappropriate” manner...doesn’t mean they want their inbox full of that.

Inappropriate chat = sex chat.

rfhh1959 · 61-69, M

@StillStrong then why not just say that? Be precise

StillStrong · F

@rfhh1959 Well, if it was me I guess I'd write on my profile "Not here for sex chat/sexting, only casual conversation."

rfhh1959 · 61-69, M

@StillStrong as do many

rfhh1959 · 61-69, M

Just a point, I never stated what the person holds out at their gender identification

Virgo79 · 61-69, M

I usually don't, they always think one's bad to message🤭

bijouxbroussard · F

When in doubt, no sex talk unless the person initiates it. What they choose to discuss on the public part of the site may still not be something they want to talk about one on one, until they’re more comfortable.

rfhh1959 · 61-69, M

@bijouxbroussard again their subjects topic were wide and varied so the lines of appropriateness were very blurred imo

bijouxbroussard · F

@rfhh1959 Well, then do what you think is right, and good luck. 👍🏽

rfhh1959 · 61-69, M

@bijouxbroussard I am having fun. I find it amusing that this individual in all likelihood does not want sex chat yet has sexual content but will use imprecise language but would probably be offended if someone did. I am just stirring the pot.

I find it amusing that recently I was in a place that made it a point to read their safe space policy prior to taking a series of classes. Yet no one in the class had an issue with pointing out my age my sex or skin color. I did not tell anyone who did these things they were being hypocritical in my opinion because had I done so I would have been accused of being an old misogynistic white man.

So that is why I find it amusing in here when someone post sexual content on their public page if they choose not to discuss him privately just say so don't use weak word like inappropriate just come out and say what you don't want to talk about privately it's not that hard it's not like any of us will ever meet each other
