for all the girls on chess.com.....

why do you act so surpised when guys try hitting on you/try flirting with you all the time? Your in a website that is 95% filled with men, and we all know boys will be boys. It's just human nature for men to always be looking out for a female especially when a large percentage of the males here in chess.com are between 16-30, where a man it at his prime filled with testesterone. 

I am not saying it is right for a guy to harrass you on here, but please respect the fact that you will always be targeted as a female & treated differently ( sometimes better or worse). If you have a provoking avatar of a picture of yourself, you are just asking for it......

It is like this in every single part of the internet, every online video game, every online messageboard. So unless you hide the fact that you are a female, you will always get hit on by other men. Seriously just look at any female chess.com member, they have 100x more homepage views than a guy does.

You can't blame a girl for having good taste and not wanting to talk to a troll.

Is this post for fucking real?

Did this guy really just utter the words "please respect the fact that you will be targeted"??

I usually say something like "thank you for providing such a clear illustration of exactly what is wrong with the world today," but sometimes I can't muster feelings of gratitude for such garbage.

Stupid. Or males could act polite and treat women like they do other men on here...if I was female I would just say I was a male here (no joke). Fact is, many men on the internet are losers and it shows... Stop blaming the victims, that's so yesterday's thinking.

Hard to believe, but Kasporov_Jr is not a troll; he's an actual moron. He's using his real name. You can meet all sorts of weirdos on the internet...

I'm not sure being a troll and being a moron are incopatiable.

Heh, true. He's deluded, then.

Hello beautiful!

The best thing to do with an inflamatory thread is to not post in it. Instigators thrive on attention, and this one is likely playing off http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/goodbye2, where the OP is a woman who left chess.com after a man sent her an offensive image.

He saw that thread is popular, so he made this one.

edit: Move this to Off Topic.

Agreed.

lol if you think every single man out of the hundreds of thousands here in chess.com will be polite & treat women normally, then you need to stop being so naive.

I'm not blaming the victims, nor am I saying it is ok for a man to harrass a female on the internet especially sending her inappropirate photos; but if a girl has a picture of herself especially in a provocative way & has to advertise herself that she is a female ( going around saying she is a girl or putting the word girl in her username), then she is only asking for it. lets be real here, all bs aside.....

all men are biologically animals that are always looking for another mate. saying all guys who hit on females on the internet is stupid logic since even in real life situations, men always try flirting with females. 

you wonder why guys hit on you.....lets see

1. your username has the word '' girl '' in it

2. you showing half your body in your avatar while holding alchol

3. you have a picture of yourself in a bikini in your profile

 Profile Views: 41,169

Yeah let's just claim were animals who are wired like that...your logic is awesome...it's not being naive, it's holding people to basic standards ill regard if they follow them or not. It's simple to say men are like that, that has been a common response for many years in societies...but that is slowly changing. This is a chess site, treat women as you would another man, if you harass a women, it's no different than harassing another man. That simple. Cut the BS and excuses.

make that 41, 170. Once you said bikini, I had to go look.

Maybe I should put a pic of me in a bikini to increase my profile views.

'' it's been like that for years "

it's been like that since the beggining of mankind for thousands of years lol, it's not a '' fad '' or a ''movement '', it's embedded in our DNA for men to go after females. It's not '' slowly changing'', and it never will change.

Again, I am not saying it's ok to harrass a women, but for a girl to be suprised/angered/annoyed by all the men trying to get at them its just being simply childish. They know exactly what they are getting themselves into.

no, society has obviously been changing their attitudes to how men treat women as a standard over the years. a lot more progressing is needed but it's come a long way even in the past 100 years. your animal wired biology nonsense is just BS and excuses from yesteryear. men can and do act better than that, and the expectations have been rising for that. because many don't on the internet isn't something that women should have to "deal with" or "expect as the norm". this is a chess site, play chess. not difficult to do honestly... 

i think you are the childish one, at least your views betray such. men can't act like that because they want to. it shouldn't be tolerated or expected. get over it. back to chess now...

this is stupid... you're basically saying we like hitting on you and you need to take it.  Stupid. Go and get a grilfriend loser.

alright think of it this way. there is 1 pretty girl in a classroom filled with 100 men. Do you think the men will behave themselves, and none of them will try to flirt with the girl? it's been like that since the beginning, and will stay like that forever.

lol as if having a girlfriend is going to prevent men from trying to talk to females....

I tried that, my profile views actually went down

I was thinking about doing a thesis explaining why Internet chess is despicable, because it is about Intenet rather than chess. This thread is a substantial contribution, thanks
