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.

    I want everything in a girl. Why should I pick and choose between qualities? That is meaningless.

      Because many qualities are contradictory in nature and cannot possibly coexist. I'll give you an example: A perfect car in my mind would be highly efficient, able to scale huge boulders offroad, turn corners at incredible speeds with the suspension sticking to the ground like glue, able to fit in small parking spaces, carry large loads, be comfortable inside, be inexpensive, luxurious, reliable, safe, etc.

      Well, it should be obvious that things like "efficiency", and "reliability" come at the price of "performance" and "luxury", while handling and speed come at the price of comfort or potential abilities to venture offroad. And it goes without saying that fitting in small parking spaces is inevitably against the notion of being able to carry large loads.

      The leap from the above example to human qualities is left to the reader. But picking and judiciously compromising between desirable qualities that you can actually find in a single entity is never meaningless.

        This has nothing to do with choosing between qualities like personality, sense of humor, intelligence and morals.

          You just listed categories, not qualities. List ALL qualities in each category and you'll see many will inevitably be contradictory. The main question in this thread is asking about which categories would be more important than others. There is no problem with wanting ALL categories to play a part but that is not answering the original question.

            These are semantical games you are playing. And you are over intellectuallizing and losing sight of the point. You think it's a category and I think it's a quality... whatever. The point is that I would want a girl with a sense of humor, with good looks, intelligence, and personality. If you want to argue against the premise of the entire thread don't pick a fight with me, specifically.

              Ok I'll tone down the "intellectuallizing" ...

              If you want a girl with everything, I hope you realize you sound like those women who want everything in a man. They want a guy that'll always be there, have a great career (which means he can't always be there), will have a strong personality and stand up for himself, will be sensitive to her needs, etc etc etc

              I'm not picking a fight ... just pointing out that saying things like "I want everything" is downright childish. Not because such a thing is rare or doesn't exist ... but because it can't exist.

                There is nothing childish here. You are taking things out of context and distorting them. You are jumping on me for using the word "everything" but are ignoring what I meant by it. This isn't arguing; it's autoeroticism. Comparing general character traits with very specific, non-character related desires is childish.

                The point is that I would want a girl with a sense of humor, with good looks, intelligence, and personality.

                  And now we are at:

                  After all this, you just picked and chose between qualities since your list is by no means exhaustive ... thus pretty much pulling a 180 on your original post which started this whole rediculous exchange.

                  So now that you stated what's important to you, we are back on topic which is apparently not that meaningless after all (unlike what you claimed at first).

                    I was always on topic; you went of on the tangent. My post was dependant on context. There was no 180. You are acting as though by saying everything I want someone with and without a sense of humor simultaneously or someone who is dumb and intelligent simultaneously. That's stupid and any normal thinking human being would understand what I had meant. Picking and chosing? You seem to forget the point of this thread is that one can find different character traits admirable but one may feel certain traits are of more value than others. Essentially, you were feeling down on yourself today so you started a pointless argument that makes no sense so you can use big grinning smilies and make yourself feel better.

                      If a person has a great personality, then the sense of humor and kindness comes with that great personality....I think a sense of humor is the most important. I remember dating this guy who was soo sweet, but couldn't keep up with my joking around. OMG it was soo boring. He was even a boring kisser, which made me sick...

                      GOD I HATE KISSING!
