Usually you respect people age of Mylot?

In real life, I respect everybody but I tend to respect more older. Here, I am not looking on the profile before answering, and if I look only the avatar, I've already reply to many babies . Some members have removed their age from their profile, some may cheat : GoAskAlice is a myLot member since 99 years, but she is only 29 on her profile (I know, it's not polite to ask her age at a lady ) : http://www.mylot.com/GoAskAlice

I usually don't look at the age of mylot users unless I stumble onto their profile and just happen to notice it. Sometimes when I ask a question on mylot and a user gives me very good advice, I'll assume it's an older person. But still, I don't think you can tell how smart a person is just by the age. I think there are many intelligent young users here at mylot.

I take little interest in a member's age, it is the person theirself that really matters. I fail to see how a person 16 years old should not deserve respect while a person of 60 years old does. I am currently 60 years old but I believe that I should still be respectful to younger people, providing of course that they deserve respect. I also believe that I should behave in a manner deserving of respect in order to earn it.

hi icesmile yes I sometimes look at profiles as I am curious where people are from and okay how old they are, but it doesnt really matter as I respect all people unless they prove to be insulting to me than I will just by pass that person. I find so many wonderful people here it is just amazing and so many times they come from far away p laces like in t he old song "far away places with strange sounding names, that I found in a book on the shelf" only I found them in discussions here on mylot and I have a lot of respect for those who struggle to learn English and m ake discussions .I do think the English language is really a hard one for non English speaking people to learn., So my hat and my respect go to those who really try to learn English and post some very nice discussions on mylot.good luck and God bless.

I dont tend to look at a persons age unless they make some reference to it in the discussion or it seems relevant to the topic. If I get friend requests, I check the profile to see what the persons interests are and what sort of discussion topics they've started/responded to & you cant helpbut notice the age. (It does surprise me that I get so many requests from young people) I think its not necessary to be rude to people whatever their age. We are all here to express our own opinions and respect the views of others irrespective of age, gender, culture or anything else.

Well age do matters while interacting with an individual.When we chat with people who are older than us then respect automatically comes as we feel that they are more knowledgeable than us and have seen life more closely than us.So that we could learn something from them,that's why i probably respect older people and try to chat with them more often but exceptions do exist.

I think age is less taken into consideration when it comes to discussions. But respect these days are in short supply as some people have that weird behavior thinking they are young and more powerful while the age are 'redundant' lot. I have concealed my age in my profile because of one bad encounter in mylot where someone has said something like 'who is interested to a 50 years old discussion......' directly implying on my earlier discussion.

Hi Icesmile, I actually don't check a persons age when answering. I do know some of our older members...I'm one of them but I don't give or expect special treatment just for that reason and I doubt most of them do. I try to treat everyone with the same kindness and respect regardless of age. Respect should be earned.

I do most of the times and i tend to avoid making offensive remarks to them . as long as possible i like to keep my sensitivity never to hurt them with my remarks. So I avoid being rude and like to be polite as much as i could and this kind of attitude of mine does not only indicate here in the manner of of my writing but applicable in real lives as well.

To tell you the truth I'm never curious about anyone's age on Mylot, as I don't think that age matters when dealing with another person. I will talk the same to a person younger or older than me, as I think that we all deserve the same level of respect, as we're all human beings

I often look at people's profiles to see their ages, where they're from, etc. and that does have an affect on what I reply, how I reply, if I reply... I tend not to get in to discussions/arguments with "children".

Personally, I don't care much about people's age, because I usually have a conversation with them sincerely and carefully no matter who they are. What I really need is our thoughts during the conversation rather than status.

It can go a few different ways. I don't care much about age, but if someone is telling me things from their experience I'll definitely treat them with the respect they deserve and listen wisely. Everyone should be treated with respect and shouldn't resort to name calling. That just shows immaturity and disrespect. Just like older people shouldn't talk down to someone that is younger just because of age. I hope my comment is clear enough. Things sound so much better in my head lol.

You don't necessarily need to know the age for you to respect one person. It is a must for me. Whether I'm talking with younger person or older ones, I make sure there is always a respect in words and ideas. I don't really look at profiles to know somebody's age. As long as everything's fine, I don't really care about it.

I usually see their profile, and I make no distinction between age as a symbol that people had a better experience. I respect and appreciate all they do, and if they are older than me then they like my parents for guiding me.

Yes i respect peoples age in mylot.. because i have also many friends in mylot who are very elder than me... so i gave respect to them.. and always when i responding to their discussions.. then i always started with "Sir".. i think it is best for me.. and also a beautiful way to gave respect them.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..
