    • No, you should not be rude in return, because two wrongs can't make a right. It is never polite to be rude.
  • I think if someone is rude you should be rude to unless you think their just having a bad day.=}
  • You don't always have to rude, you should respect your elders. They have gone through a lot in their life and she is probably not happy that she still alive. Maybe her late husband passed away and she takes her anger on everyone else. You should just try to understand, ignore her or tell her politely that she doesn't have to be so mean to you.
  • As people age, nerve connections in their brains deteriorate and that has the effect of removing tact and discretion. A very old person might say something that she would not have dreamed of saying a few years before. You can't in fairness penalise someone for something beyond their physical abilities. Nobody gets upset about a baby being incontinent because people know that babies do not have the physical ability to be clean and continent.
  • If you believe that the person who was rude has not yet started with age related deterioration of nerve connections, replying with exquisite politeness may remind her of her own manners.
  • You could say "I'm sorry - have I done something to offend you?" In this way you will show that you have class and that you are open to their feelings.
  • You might better ask yourself why you would want to be rude to anyone? What would you get out of it? It would not make you a better person
  • I don't think it matters.
  • She is old as you say; she may be unwell and unhappy. Try to forget about it. Allow your compassionate and spiritual nature to develop. Carry goodness in your heart not hardness. Apart from anything else, it is an easier way to live with yourself.

It is important to respond with kindness and respect, regardless of the other person's behavior. Being rude in return will not help resolve the situation and may escalate tensions. It is better to take the high road and maintain your composure.

What percentage of straight men are sexually attracted to transsexuals?

This is not a question that can be really be answered in the way that it is asked. The problem is that the question treats transsexualism as a gender or sexual orientation unto itself. A person is not their body. They are their gender identity.Most would be attracted to transsexual women if they didn't know they had the condition. If a man can be attracted to a diabetic woman or a woman with cancer, they can be attracted to someone who once had transsexualism and who had it eliminated with surgery. Transsexualism is a private medical concern that nobody has a right to know about. You should be able to fix it and get on with life in the correct gender. If a person has no interest in changing their genitals with surgery and blending into average society, they likely don't have transsexualism.Likewise, if a person is attracted to the point of wanting to have sex to a person who merely lives as the other gender and keeps their original genitals, they are likely not completely "straight" to begin with. If two people with the same genitals have sex, it is a same-sex act regardless of what feelings, excuses, or loopholes a person has.


Why some men will not look a woman in the eyes?

Just because a man doesn't look at a woman in the eyes doesn't always mean they don't have a good character and they could be nervous or shy. Some men however who lie to the woman often can't look her directly in the eyes. If in doubt communicate and ask why he does that. Depending on what culture the person comes from it may be a law.
