Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Then there's the other women who have their hymens surgically recreated... Either way, the outcome is denial and lies. And that works fine for them because all anyone's interested in is a bloody bed sheet.
    They are only lying to themselves just like women who get plastic surgery and "enhancements" done to their bodies.

    "a woman who has sex inside a committed monogamous long-term relationship." - This is the definition of marriage.

    A woman who believes this is acceptable prior to committing to a contract and later leaves the relationship has already shown to be incapable of being loyal, committed, faithful and does not take life seriously so why would a man sign a contract knowing a history of this belief and behaviour?

      Wouldn't it be better for all to have education about sex and teach responsible practices, etc than to go on this way and have men go to the town wh0re or Russian prostitutes or whatever? Are the men not "dirty" in this scenario? Indiscriminate and reckless? They're going to go expose themselves to disease and then transmit it as a gift to their virgin bride on their wedding night? "Hey, baby... Wait til I show you the skills (and herpes) I picked up practicing with my favorite Russian prostitute " Give me a moment while I swoon at the romance and thoughtfulness.
      You're assuming that the man who the woman was in a "monogamous" relationship with wasn't out performing the same acts A promiscuous woman can be with 10 men who were virgin while the woman who was in 1 or 2 relationships could have been with men who were dogs. See how it doesn't make a difference?

        Well yeah, but that's neither here nor there...
        That wasn't the question...

        Ugh. You focus on a couple nit-picky thing again and ignore the whole point. It's not even like a premise is false and that's what you're pointing out.
        That's your definition and that's, again, not relevant to the point.

        So, what if she had a long-term committed relationship, but they didn't sleep together? That's not breaking an agreement of "we're going to be together"?
        I think being in long-term relationships actually gives people a more realistic understanding of what it means to be in a relationship and when they eventually wed, they'll have a less romanticized understanding of the work involved.
        Realistic expectations are a very good thing. I think generally when people know what they're getting into when they make the decision to pursue it, they have better outcomes.

          In a society with rigid "rules" for women only as you described, wouldn't lead to women doing this at the same rate as men.

          But outside of this, yes, both sexes can be promiscuous. That's why it makes more sense to take a more case by case approach and look at the whole person instead of just making it "check this box if your hymen is intact."

          This is a problematic way to tell a virgin anyway because not everyone has a hymen and not all hymens are broken with one instance of sex. So, there's a lovely error rate that will humiliate and break the heart of a girl who actually was a virgin and then claim another who wasn't was honorable.

          What about my point that your sort of ideal society actually encourages more dishonesty?

            You have a long term relationship with your parents and I'm pretty sure you didn't sleep with either of them..... there are reasons why cultures came up with these practices. By the way, what we discuss here doesn't really relate to our generations since we're fu@ked but rather hope some younger people can get some insight and form their own opinions.

              Okay, twist things so you can avoid addressing my post. I also have a long-term "relationship" with my dentist, but I'm sure you knew that's not what I meant. Nice avoidance tactic.

                Huh?

                re·la·tion·ship

                1. The condition or fact of being related; connection or association.
                2. Connection by blood or marriage; kinship.
                3. A particular type of connection existing between people related to or having dealings with each other: has a close relationship with his siblings.
                4. A romantic or sexual involvement. <---- This is an affair, not a "relationship"

                  It is OBVIOUS from the context that I was talking about romantic relationships. You have a "relationship" with everyone interact with otherwise... e.g. cashier, mailman, dentist, etc.

                    You seem to be stuck on this hymen thing.... I'm not sure why. Chastity has nothing to do with a woman's hymen. It's about a belief and code of conduct that was common practice in traditional societies.

                    You claim that "your" model encourages less dishonesty but there is nothing dishonest about a woman who intentionally attempts to seduce a man who she knows is married. She knows what she is doing and it's up to the man to turn down the offer. Why do the men still get blamed? It's up to the women to take out the trash in their society. However, since the modern woman blames the man for a practice that she herself admits is acceptable then the man is really in a lose-lose situation.
