PINETREE Points: 2514 Join Date: Oct 9, 2005 Status: offline	I have been noticing that many members upload their travel photos here which is fine. However, quite a few, esp westerners, upload pics of their local "galfriends" or acquaintances or travel guides here. Maybe these members are not aware - it is not quite proper to do so. If you notice, the Chinese & Asians don't do that. If the gal is your wife, daughter or part of the family, it is fine. It's hard to explain but such photos are an eyesore & they insult the gals' modesty. It also hurts the male members' image. Concentrate on the scenery or pics in group. I expect this to be controversial but need to point out. Hahaha !!

That's very considerate of you, good guy! In the different places, people have different culture and customs that need to be took into consideration, which is a polite and proper way of expressing your friendliness and respect.
But, it's really good if you can take the pic with local people that make your trip there sounds more true, ask for permission first, then enjoy taking pic with them is fine, I think.

Eventually it is whether members accept this or not. If they can accept this, then there is no problem at all, I suppose.
Just like earlier today, there were 2 alleged white men from UK both claiming to be residing in Dalian advertising for women companion - married or not. I found them disgusting and insulting - esp the tone/manner of the posts. The posts were rightfully deleted. I am convinced that these are not regular members but adhoc members who came hoping for such fun or to create trouble.
It's up to you, ladies.
