I am sure there are many people that come on here as a guest, read some posts, don't find the answer they are looking for right away, create an account, ask their question, then maybe just come back as a guest again (not bothering to log in again) and read the answers, then maybe they never come back. Some users might not like answers they received, so they decide the resort isn't for them. So they don't feel the need to say thanks or comment again. I personally do not get bothered by this. I mean it is what it is. Different people have varied expectations when it comes to using the internet and what could be called "internet etiquette". There are defiantly generational gaps on use and expectations of message boards and other types of social media. Younger generations, that grew up with the internet literally in their pockets, don't always feel the need to reply and have a "back and forth". Even though I may feel a message board is a two way street, other people don't. It's bing bang and move on. I got what I did or didn't need, and I couldn't care less who, what, where it comes from. If we didn't get these one-off repeat questions often, then there would be much less to talk about. For me answering questions that I have already answered, or know the answers are on here already is just something I can do to kill some time, and hopefully help someone out.
Very well said Steve, I couldn't agree more, I have been on both sides as a seeker of knowledge and a giver of what I hope was accurate information, its one of the things I love about this site.
The only thing I get bothered by is how "anti single dude" people on this forum are. I would hate for someone to change their mind about the resort due to ignorant rude comments from people on this forum. TTR is for everybody... Not just couples or "older" or "younger" folks.
I think the problem starts off by not getting their personal information out, location age work picture etc. and the low amount or lack of normal type question/answer posts. Some people don't like or feel comfortable with that. Most people who truly do want to socialize would give out their info. T
Yes I also agree there is a bit too much of the anti single dude. People seem to have very different experiences with this though, and some people might post about this more, because their experience were so bad. I think a huge part of this, and when the forum gets nuts in this regard, is around March. Yes, don't go to Cancun in March. You heard of MTV before right? Common sense should tell you to avoid this place. Just like I hope my dad wasn't going to take his family to Daytona beach in 1980 in March. For me going in Sept (2x) and May (1x), I have had zero issue with young single guys. There were some young single guys there(not very many that I noticed), but none of them caused any issues for me. Maybe my wife is gross looking, so they don't hit on her. Or maybe I just look so scary that they avoid us like the plague. The only issue we ever had was with 3 older (single or not single) 45+ men sitting around the sexy pool making comments to almost every girl that walked by. The said to my friend "your ass is bad but your boobs are nice" (or the complete opposite, both pieces looked good to me). Well obviously she got upset and came back practically in tears. So her bf, bother-in-law, and myself walked over there to say something. Started with "we are not trying to fight, but you need to learn respect for people. What possesses people to say that to someone they don't know". We made then apologize to her, and told them they should shut their mouths towards anyone else that walks past. They left shortly after. So this was an issue with men, not kids, who knows if they were single or not single. I am not saying I want a bunch of 21 year old kids here, and I know age doesn't matter, but I wouldn't mind if there was some younger people mixed in. I started going when I was 29, and hung out with everyone. I don't think it would be a problem if there was some more groups in their mid to late 20s. Remember not everyone is 45+, so for me it is nice to have people on both ends of the age scale. I am sure there are some single ladies I know out there that wouldn't mind if some additional younger guys in their late 20s were there. Maybe it would draw in some additional single girls, which might cause an increase in the population of unicorns. So I never try to be anti-single or anti-age. I am just anti-douche-bag. There is a place for everyone. And I think it is perfectly fine for people to try to gauge the age groups there, and we shouldn't be so quick to assume they are all young, dumb and full of cum.
