Ok - being a newbie here, I'm still getting used to the way people interact. I'm certainly used to online forums etc, but there are a few things to ask about how things are done here... When is it "ok" to add someone as a friend? ie - should one chat via email or IM first or is adding friends just "the done thing" randomly before you even introduce yourself?   People seem not to use flirts  - I've recieved a couple myself (very flattering) but the precanned responses don't say what I might want to say - emails go unanswered I guess mainly because they are not interested (fair enough).  Therefore what's the purpose of the flirt in the first place?   Chatrooms - many of you know each other already and seem to have flowing conversations... most seem friendly but it's hard to know how to break into a conversation when you don't know all the background.... any tips?   Thanks guys - bear with me please :-)

    Ettiquette on this site is be polite and be yourself.  Send a flirt if you think someone is cute or if you have something more to say send a messge......however before doing so make sure you read their profile or before you know it you will be reading the forums and the topic heading will have your name in it .   As for our friends, we had a rule at the beginning that we would only make friends with people we had physically met....however the rules changed when we got a lovely request from trishl whom we had bantered with via the forums but obviously not being in Perth we are unlikely to ever meet.  So the boundaries on friends are still changing for us (secretly hoping Gaz will invite us one day - he seems to be the godfather of RHP).   Can't speak for the chat rooms I find them very confusing - seems to me that everyone just continually says hi or bye or I'm tired and the lines change so fast I can't keep up.  We do go in to perve on the cams every now and then (you know who you are Miss Honey ) and of course to put our own crazy times on display.  But will be very interested to see the posts from those that do use them successfully.   Most of all just have fun with it, don't take it too seriously and feel free to ask whatever you want when you want in the forums, they are by far my favourite part.   ......just re reading to make sure there are no spelling mistakes, do you think RHP can add a spell checker.........   K.

    The only thing I would add is to read they forums a lot, it give you a good idea about who is have success on this site and who isn't and how they approach it.  Also, the more I read the forums the better I get at spotting which girls are time wasters,cheers, Mark

    Niceguy as a single guy you will find a lot of what you do will be ignored. You just have to accept that is the way it is. Friends - Everybody has different idea on adding someone as a friend and i don't think it really makes much difference. You will probably find that a lot will not accept the friend request anyway unless you have had a connection with them, or they are a profile that is rorting the site in which case the profile will often become locked within a week.Flirts - For the most part flirts aren't very useful because most of the women and couples ignore them. If you have actually got some yourself then message those people because you have a far better chance of a response. Just beware of the webcam girls and such that you will find on sites like this trolling for new guys to subscribe to their services.Messages - welcome to RHP, if you get one response in 5 then you are doing better than average. If you have 1 in 10 that are interested in talking more then you are doing alright. Expect a lot of unanswered messages. The better women and couples get heaps and most of them just don't bother with 95% of them. There are some good people that will give a decent response but they are few and far between. Also check out when the person was last online. I wouldn't bother messaging someone if they haven't been on in over a month, that generally means they are gone, profile is for show only, no one is home.Chatrooms.... just try to talk, sometimes try to join in the conversation. It isn't easy as it is very clicky and it can often seem like you keep trying to say something and everyone ignores you. Sometimes feels like you are invisible. You can only try. Some people on the chatrooms are nice enough and others downright rude. Much the same as if you went to a pub, you are going to get both sides of the equation. One thing though, be polite and don't stir up trouble or you will have a collective group come at you from all angles. I've seen it happen to people before.Hope that helpsDave

    Ive been on this site for many years so here is my point of view. I disagree with the above as i doubt that a single man can be totally sure what a couple and or single female has in mind. I have found that if you are on a whole friendly and genuine and dont have too many expectations the site works well. The chat rooms do have the desired effect IF you are prepared to have your own webcam, they cost $50aud so there is no excuse for not having one.Try to be somewhat pleasant when talking to the ladies in there, i am yet to see anyone walk up to a stranger and ask to see her tits! Above i read that flirts arent very useful pfft how arent they??? theres an oportunity to let someone know youre interested, whether they reply or not is irrelevent (we cant always get what we want) Friends list, well i rarely call strangers friends in real life so i dont really see the point in collecting them to make up numbers, I have facebook for that. I have read many letters sent to females who are members on this site and if i was sent a letter from a guest with no pics or information on thier profile, who would respond, why would you bother.Take some time and treat people with as much respect as you would expect from them in real life!

    Appreciate all the feedback - yeah I've noticed the stars seem to be people like Gaz and Miss Honey :-) Love the wicked sense of humour in some of those posts.  Agree that being yourself is what it's all about - just hard to get going like any single guy in real life :-)
