You know what we fail to do too often as members is put ourselves in the Models place, - we fail to empathize. I have seen, and been involved in conversations too many times where it seems like everyone in the room has forgotten where they are, - where everyone has got swept up in something that leaves the Model ignored. I don't think these things are done intentionally, or with any aim to leave the Model out, and it is easy to think it is no big deal - we aren't being disrespectful, or, are we? If we remind our self that being in a Model's room is like being in a night club to see someone entertain, or being in an auditorium where there is a performance taking place, I think from that POV, we would have to see the act of, "not giving our full attention to the entertainer/s", as being pretty disrespectful. (add the nature of the entertainment be offered, and how directly that must feel connected to self worth, and it is understandable why so many don't last very long.)AmberCutie said:If I had to guess into this mystery situation, I'd say the model probably already was struggling to get the sort of attention in the room that she prefers. You know, where she's dancing around naked and getting a tip now and then, and having people include her in the conversation.zippypinhead said:Leaving for the night seems like a bit of an overreaction to a short celebratory, if a bit non sequitur, declaration of IRL goings on. Maybe her leaving right at that point was more of a coincidence?
Maybe the comments about baseball, after 30 minutes of conversation she already wasn't involved in in the chat room and everyone ignoring her dancing, were the straw that broke the camel's back.
When I first thought about this, I pictured some smoky strip bar with a stripper dancing in front of a table full of rude drunken bastards that are paying absolutely no attention to her, and tried to imagine how that must feel as a woman. I have been one of those bastards, and sometimes still am, but I try to not forget where I am. And do not think it is out of line to remind others to think about where they are, when I see they have forgotten, or I catch myself being disrespectful.
