Most are people are very rude in the chat room.

It's very sad to see people just coming in there to chat and when they ask of your country and you tell them, they just close the chat window. That is totally rude. If you are not ready to chat with people from certain countries, please suit yourself and don't enter the chat room. It's really unfair to close the chat window whiles the person thinks you are still chatting.

Yeah my problem is that a bunch of guys will message me on there, ask where I am from, and just want to see my photos.  Not at all interested in learning English.

A colleague of mine at the office, to whom I had introduced Ebaby, complained that the moment he says that he's from Sri Lanka, the chat was closed by the other side.

Ouch!!!! chat rooms? I don't like it there either..had a bad experienced there..actually had a fight or argument with a male from London. Racial discrimination that they think they are a better person than other people from other countries. I entered London chat room…a male send an im to me and i replied ..he asked me where i came from so i answered the truth…when  he learned that  i came from Philippines..he said "why you entered London ..you have your own place" So i replied that its a free chat room any one can enter regardless of where you came from..and i said there is no sign there that Filipinos are not allowed. I asked him why he does not like us to be in that chat room..he told me that their women have been upset by Filipina women…so i told him why so? Are they insecure? He replied coz Filipinas are just maids…So i was hurt ..though am not a maid there…i told him what is wrong of being a maid? Its a good job…maybe low kind of job for you ..coz you use pen and maids used pail and mop…paid less but hard work..they are not robbers, killers, etc. And i told him that though they are maids they are educated..most of them are college grad…only its hard to find job in our place that they grab that work just to earn for their family. Is it bad? The male keep quiet for a while..then he said sorry.

There are narrow minded people i understand that…but just hope that those people think at least that we are all human…we have feelings too.

yes i have the same experience.and once,when i talked to a guy from turkey,he said he loves me just after a short time talk.i think that's stupid,he was just kidding on me!

i don't know why they come there,for fun or other things.at first i went there for my english study,but soon i found out that it's a chaotic place.some people use their own words to speak bad words to others.that's so rude i think.

but luckly,i made a good friend there.that's enough.

Hey, i experienced that, too, meeting  several rude (and absolutely stupid) people.

But, I also met some nice chat friends there as well.

So, here may be a remedy to friends who may want to try chatroom or don't give up with getting to know new people there.

Rule one: don't let anyone push you around. No need to do as they say or answer their (stupid/demanding) questions. Keep your politeness and brain intact.

Rule two; question them back what you want to know especailly when they try to push you. Even challenge them if you are confident enough or sharp tongued (hehehehe this is som quality I own). I even tell them directly how rde they are and advice them how to become a well manner person.

Rule three: if they still continue their rudeness, tell them to shut up and cut off their communication or ignore them and go chating with other nice ones.

Well, I must say that some guys turned into good chat friends—frank and polite. maybe they learned.

But, some were born rude, they were beyond my efforts to help add up good guys in this chat society.
