non smokers

April 25 2018

Hi we are non smokers and love fitness (I am a PT)but come up agsinst quite hostile responses when we get a message and we reply saying we arnt smokers. (from smokers) We like people but is it bad to say no thanks to smokers? Its a personal dislike of us both and in this day of PC are we wrong to be honest? Love your comments from non smokers and smokers?Mischa

    "If you smoke, I will never get into a relationship with you" Reasons:Because that is how I want to run my life -call me a cunt, I don't care. Mishca - your choice... (AND it is a good one too, I might add here) and I hope you just move on to people who respect you guys enough to settle for that... Hell... After seeing your photos.... IF I was a female/couple who smoked, and had a chance to play with you guys.. FM... I would just give smoking the fuck up .. Good luck and good choices.

    Mischa Everyone has a right to their own choices. Your choice is not to kiss a smoker. Some smokers think that with a bit of tooth brushing and some extra deodorant that they eliminate the smell, but non smokers can smell and taste the difference. We are with you - smokers are not for us. Crux32

    It is your choice and personal dislike, and you are quite entitled to say no. We too dislike cigarette smoke and will not come into close contact with anyone who smokes. We too have received hostile responses when turning down smokers. But then we have also received hostile responses when turning down bearded males and those males who are not circumcised. We feel that it’s not so much about why (smoking) you have turned them down, but more about the fact that you have turned them down. Many people just cannot handle rejection and became quite abusive. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I'm a smoker myself, and respect those who don't smoke, it's a personal choice, you shouldn't be made to feel bad because of your preferences, I go by a little saying from my father in law, "if they don't like it, then that's there problem" so chin up love, your not in the wrong here xx - Posted from rhpmobile

    If I get a flirt or message, I look at th profile. If it says smoker or even social smoker I don’t bother answering. I clearly state NON SMOKER in my profile. If you choose to ignore that, that’s your problem. I detest smoking, the smell on your clothes and breath. Let alone the brown teeth. Stick to your guns and simply don’t bother replying. - Posted from rhpmobile

    You're perfectly entitled to have what ever preferences you wish, as everyone has mentioned. Over the years, we have chosen to only play or have relationships with other non smokers, just our preference. Some people don't like not being a part of everyone's equation. If you say no, perhaps block them, whatever, they take that as a personal attack on their belief of entitlement, that they are so special, no one has a right to deny them what they want. There are a lot of us, no one is that special and you are entitled to personal preference. Keep up the PT work and enjoy life. Mr. urn. .

    I’ve been both a smoker, and a non-smoker. I’ve always been respectful and courteous. Perfume, mouthwash, mints, open smoking areas and step outside or away from others and always washing my hands throughly. Most smokers prefer the 5 mins time to themselves anyway. I respect people’s choice to smoke or not, like it or not. But I detest judgy non-smokers on their high horses. Especially if they claim to be open minded and love thy neighbor. Hypocrisy is a pet hate of mine. Hows this; “ I hate rum! The smell, the taste, the behaviour of people under the influence of rum and the bogans that drink it. I choose not to go anywhere near them and will block them straight away. Personality and looks don’t even become a factor as I choose not to associate with “those people” in my life!” Yes I’m being a smart ass to make my point. Some of the comments above sound very similar 🙄 Let’s just be a little less rude and judgy hey? And I’m entitled to feel this way too 🤔 I know I’ll cop an ear bashing for this, but in an age where people sprout on about equality and tolerance...... just saying 😉 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Each to their own but end of the day you have to respect one another for who they are and what they choose to partake in. You can ask them not to smoke while around you , that’s something I would be offering if I wasn’t into smokers there is a compromise for everything. For me I don’t care if you do or don’t I love my fitness too — but I see it as it’s their life who am I to say what’s right or wrong I bet they disagree with some choices in my life too. - Posted from rhpmobile

    “Preferences” exist because they represent what we like And I never have to explain or justify why I like what I like. Nor should anyone else If someone doesn’t come up to the preferences and standards that I prefer, that’s not my issue.... it’s theirs, and I don’t make it mine. And the more they try to complain about it, the more they prove why your preferences exist Amen 😉 - Posted from rhpmobile

    It all comes down to personal preferences. We like what we like. Some like certain body types, lifestyles, genders, racial profiles, age ranges, how is smoker/non-smoker any different?? You are perfectly entitled to your preference and no one should be condemned for it

    The issue in this topic is not about whether you smoke or not. Or whether you will date a smoker or not. Everyone has the rights to their own preferences, whether it be non-smokers, no facial hair or height. The issue here is how you communicate that preference or accept the rejection. The OP has voiced her preference and received an abusive reply. Not cool! Neither are some of the comments in this thread towards smokers. Suggestions such as don’t bother replying, not even associating with them etc. immature, negative and judgmental and just plain rude! I wonder if we were discussing circumcision or facial hair or a preference for drinks, would you describe people in this way? Sounds very discriminatory.... and I judge people on how they treat others, respect, tolerance, kindness. Just my thoughts 💭🧐 - Posted from rhpmobile

    I just wouldn't smoke if you wanted me to join you and brush my teeth and use mouthwash before.. all non smokers haven't known when I've done so. I'm a pt and into fitness myself also.. in fact I'm also 5th in nsw for strongman. I've met many Russian and well known powerlifters and strongmen that smoke also. But as stated I'd respect you dont smoke and dont like it so I wouldn't smoke before I met you or during and you'd never know because it wouldn't be on me or my breath. In a way its picky but at the same time I'd respect it as stated - Posted from rhpmobile

    I used to smoke for over a decade...and gave it up 11 years ago because I don't want to die from it. But, going forward, I wouldn't let that choice stop me from dating a woman who smoked. Mainly because some of the very best human beings I've met have been and are, smokers. A former partner was a smoker when I wasn't...and I didn't mind, because she was worth that minor sacrifice and more. I think that's the real question. Tobacco versus a person..? Is it really nasty enough to deny me happiness? No.

    People are entitled to smoke, people are also entitled to be fit, fat, skinny or kinky. Whatever people are looking for is their personal choice and should be respected. Smokers should be treated no differently to single men / women / others, couples, Asians, blacks, big dick, small boobs, skinny, hairy, kinky, old , young etc etc. We all have personal preferences. Thankfully, hopefully, there are also others out there who are exactly what you are looking for. We’ve found a few and we hope you all do too. Xx - Posted from rhpmobile

    Everything he is on here looking for whatever they are looking for! Be it blonde, brunette, tall or short.....smokers or non smokers are also a choice! I think it’s more of an issue when we have people who contact us that don’t fit what we are looking for and get a bit put out when we say “sorry, not interested” This happens not to just smokers, but also to the bearded guys! Nothing wrong with knowing what you want!

    I have written in my profile that I prefer non smokers. It’s not a judgement on the smokers at all, it’s just a preference of what I like. I’m a very sensory person so smell and taste is important for me to fully enjoy the experience. Then there’s the fitness side of things... not as hot if the smoker can’t keep up the pace because they’re out of breath. If they want you that bad... they’ll give it up! 😉 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Your choices are for what suits you and your lifestyle. If people don't like what you say then frankly, too bad to them. I'm a bit old school in this PC mad world we now live in. We all make choices about what we do and don't like in our lives every day. Take ownership and stop sooking about it people. Mischa and her partner have the right to put whatever exclusions they want to on their profile, if you can't get past that then don't contact them. Its not rocket surgery and go find someone you are more in line with as far as preferences go. Stand your ground Mischa, you like what you like and never compromise because you might upset some delicate little flower. Individuality seems to be lost by people pushing their own choices on to others and getting upset if they don't get their way. Stand up and yourself, thise that matter will stand up and out to you.

    The senses of taste and smell( and lung power ) came back in a big way in the years after giving up smoking. To the point that it's quite a pleasant surprise just how stifled they are by it. Though, even now, 11 years later, I'm still not repulsed by the smell of fresh, burning tobacco...it's even a little appealing. Stale, used tobacco, not so much. I won't try it again, but. Maybe that's why it's definitely not a deal-breaker for me...as long as a person has the usual, good oral hygiene habits. Bad, unpleasant breath I find to be quite repulsive, however. For me at least, it's quite possible for a person to be a smoker and not have breath that I find unpleasant. I know that from personal experience. However, I'm pretty confident that won't apply to all smokers I've met or meet. But, it's enough that I won't rule out getting to know a smoker intimately. Some people are totally worth that one little thing. Some are not, too, I guess. It's not even a flaw. But, I'm a hard cunt .

    We could plug in our parameters and nobody on RHP who doesn’t meet these would be able to view your profile. Then everyone could stop sooking and moaning about being contacted by people who don’t meet their lofty standards. Sure the takent pool would dry up significantly and a few egos would be bought back down to earth when the attention is filtered to what they are actually looking for but it would solve all the problems. Everyone has a choice and the right to express it. Personally we won’t look at any profile that has the word fit in it as it usually implies gym goers whose vanity surpasses their personality and a mirror would be their preferred option for a partner. But unfortunately it is what it is. If its that much of a hassle just dont respond to those who dont suit your options and block them straight away. Be your own filter. Problem solved.

I gave up 3-years ago and have no problem having a few drinks with a friend of mine that smokes. He likes to drink in the smoking area and don't care or judge and join him (I don't smoke though). I also went out with someone for a while 2-years ago who smoked (only occasionally though), but I did not care and never thought of wanting to start smoking again (yes I do miss it sometimes though). If someone was a chain smoker and smelt bad I would most likely not like it but there are smokers out there that don't smell or taste bad. As sassy says though it is personal preference and you like (or dislike) what you like. I also drink rum (but not the Bundy rum which I believe is horrible)

    Another non-smoker here! I’m not a big fan of smoking, however, it’s not a deal breaker if she has a favorable personality. My work mate gave up rolling gaspers after about 50 years and went to vaping. So much more pleasant to be around, he can blow a cloud out in his workshop and it doesn’t affect me, sit on the top step with his mate vaping, and no inconvenience to me whatsoever! I’ll even give it a whirl myself on an occasion! Thus I’m very pro vaping as a smoking harm minimisation strategy! M_D4 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Smoking is a smelly habit and kissing a smoker is like kissing an ashtray. Did it a couple of times and it was rank. When I was 18-20 I worked in a pub and you would go home smelling like filth.

    I use to smoke. So I really don't mind those who do smoke. And I'm not the kind to pull faces or make them feel uncomfortable if they choose to light up. Most smokers are considerate people, if they see its annoying you they tend to move away. I enjoyed a cigarette after a meal, or with a coffee. It probably gave me a little stress relief as well.But people smoke for different reasons Been off them for 15yrs, food tastes better, sense of smell is better. Do they smell..... Yes, and sometimes i find myself asking me how did you use do that. Its an addiction, you need a good deal of strength of character to be able to give them away cold turkey. Others can just say NO! that's enough for me , i'm done with it. If you can give up the fags, you can do anything. But to claim people lack intelligence is a little far fetched

    I’ve dated two. One was super fastidious, he knew I wasn’t a fan of the smell so he came over always with mints etc. you honestly couldn’t tell. It wasn’t a problem and he tasted fine as well. The second was a chain smoker. He had a cough and the smell permeated him and he constantly needed to step out to smoke. I couldn’t deal with that level. It was a bit too much for me. So now I wouldn’t disregard someone if they smoked. Case by case basis. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I come home from work with the smell stuck in my hair (takes ~2 washes and by then I’m back at work) which is bothersome, occasionally I fear someone will think I’m a secret smoker though! Regular smoking’s a dealbreaker for me (for dating smoking at all is a dealbreaker), but if someone has a cigarette socially with their booze, whatever, shouldn’t be an issue as long as it’s not directly prior. Also there’s a difference between someone who smokes three a day versus a pack, especially with the ongoing smell and taste. I don’t have an issue if someone asks me not to drink/have coffee/wear perfume/whatever for an occasion, or any other noticeable thing that doesn’t affect me for more than a day or so. Unfortunately smoking is a habit that is noticeable for a long time post-cigarette. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Delete delete delete block block block...if they respond aggressively back of course. Send em to go smoke the meat cigar.. perhaps the attitude gave away their position on behaviour.. Doing you guys a massive favour Skip hop and PASS on the offer. Sleep, fuck eat, play and repeat. Simple motto.But effective - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting Sleepa2608 Dumb Your choice. Your rules. Why bother getting all pissy about it. Dont respond if the rules don't suit. Surely not that hard. Totally agree. Everyone has choices. Smoking is just another choice. Mr HNP is a smoker and and we don’t get pissy if that’s a deal breaker for some other couples. If smokers get upset by that, then perhaps it’s the rejection part that they can’t deal with. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Negative reactions to your dislike of smoking? You’ve got no reason to have to explain your preferences and are we within your right to ignore and move on. Respect is a two way street. 👍🏽 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Reading some of the comments here just reinforces why I don't bother going into chat rooms. A lot of self-absorbed people with inflated opinions of themselves. No thanks. P.S. I'm a bearded smoker - I judge people by their personality not by their habits - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'bootsnall' ...that means respecting peoples choices where you can but for us..kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray Interesting point that, from my perspective. I was thinking about exactly that, well kind of. I personally don't like the smell or taste of beer. I know, how un-Australian blah, blah. And to me, kissing a beer drinker is exactly like I'd imagine the bottom of an ashtray would taste, and I've always thought that way. Now, Mrs. urn. does sometimes like a beer, I still kiss her, however, my preference is to do so when she hasn't had a beer, perhaps a gin or something instead. Mr. urn. .

    Often at adult parties many have been smoking, and therefor the main social space to be is with them in the smoking area. I do not really mind, casually, but for a partner my preference is stronger, and not so much because of smell or cleanliness, but life expectancy and health. In general though, the blantant and complete careless littering of many* smokers annoys me more so than any smell/taste etc. * Not all

    I believe they have done you a discourtesy by contacting you when you clearly outlined, they are outside of your boundaries! Although your manners probably tell you to be courteous and answer them, after something like this, I would suggest not to, to prevent opening “some” cans of worms. And no reply is not discourteous. I also believe manners vary from person to person, but thats another story! - Posted from rhpmobile

    Haha yeah thanks for noticing. SEGWAY! You talking about sunshine and having Meander as your username reminded me of a song that got airtime at said smelly pub. A nice song. EVERYBODY'S FREE (to wear sunscreen).....and the segway lyric If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would....be....IT. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists. Wheareas the the rest of my advice has no basis, more reliable, than my own MEANDERing experience. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I’m sorry I outed myself as a non-smoker! It seems my non-smoking cohorts are very intolerant and judgmental lot! Seems we need to be able to vote up or down each other? If you like someone’s opinion, or even them, up-vote them, and if you feel to the contrary, down vote them! May it will keep us a bit tidyer, not say as many inflammatory things to grandstand ourselves? “Look at moi! Look at moi!” “Nah mate, your shit really does stink!” M_D4 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Huge no to smokers from us. Personal choice to smoke/not smoke as it is to accept/reject and we are always courteous in our rejection. There are enough non smokers to keep us occupied :) - Posted from rhpmobile

    We have it in our profile description that we don’t smoke and expect the same from our playmates. I think the fact that it’s an option to tick in your RHP profile description shows just how important it is for some people to know in advance. That being said, being polite and using manners costs nothing. Mrs Priv8cpl - Posted from rhpmobile

    As I agree that it is dirty , but my biggest is working with smokers , is they are not trustworthy, poor time managers, not able to cope within the high stress working environment, take more breaks , less productive.

    Just a few massive generalisations in your post, most of which I disagree with. I'm a smoker, I have no issue with people declining to meet because of it. Their life...their choice. 👍

    I'd love it if a smoking member of RHP made an opposing thread that flows the same as this one...but in opposite. Where most posters would bag the shit out of non-smokers for 5 pages...but in a nice way, y'know, cos' it's okay if it's your preference an all...and I'd pop in with, "Hey, non-smokers aren't that bad...I used to go out with a girl who didn't smoke and man, I loved her...she didn't preach about it or nothing.." Yeah, that'd be funny..

    I don't smoke and I just don't like smokers. The idea of smokers breath (just the idea) is a huge turn off for me. If that means that some people will pass on my profile that is fair enough. Just pass, no need to be nasty. Live and let live I say.

    Everyone has their own opinions. If you communicate politely and they reciprocate with a rude one, then more of a reason for you not to continue speaking with them ;) Meh, screw people who can't handle rejection. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Im a smoker, hubby isn’t. Never get defensive or rude if not to anyone’s liking. I do go out of my way to avoid smoking or smelling of smoke if it isn’t someone else’s cup of tea and things are progressing well. Otherwise it’s my way “out”.. Ur choice to say “yes” or “no”. I DONT have brown teeth either. Which surprises some obviously 🙄 - Posted from rhpmobile

    I respect everyones choice to smoke or not and really dont mind if someone wants to play or not based on their own views towards us. I am a social smoker and before a meet i like to have a smoke to relax ..... i also take toothpaste and toothbrush and mints to a meet and freshen up before any touching or kissing out of respect. Ive met with a few men and couples who arent smokers themselves and they've become regulars ..... my occassional smoke hasn't bothered them at all. I agree its dirty habit and i want to quit but hey its my life, my choice..... if we get turned down for a meet (which hasnt happened yet lol) because of our choice then we really would not be disappointed as we respect others choices. Cheers..... the wifey xx - Posted from rhpmobile

    So just because l don't like smoking people have dodged a bullet. Yeah righteo 🙄 Sadian l think being a non smoker is the least of your issues. Some of my closest friends are smokers and they sure as shit aren't any of those things you mentioned 😏

    Some, Freaky, I said some people. Chill. Sadian sounds like a dodged bullet and then some. And our charmers who feel that smokers are dirty, smelly people with low IQ's..? Wonder what other generalisations they have hiding in the cupboard..

    Yep I'm not quite sure what low IQs has to do with people smoking either 🤔 And I'll go out on a limb and say I'm guessing Sadian hasn't got people knocking down the door to meet him.

    Its Your: life choice reasons call You don't need to give a reason why - just as someone might prefers bald to blonde, it's what You like/need and that's all it needs to be. For those that don't like it and text back 'at You': don't answer them back don't give em a 2nd thourght block them, and leave them to them selves to stew. If they've been bad enough in Your mind tho, may be reporting them to RHP moderators. (just my 1centz worth that is) - Posted from rhpmobile

    I really don't understand why people get disappointed or even cranky at times for being rejected for any reason (other than an insulting response) ? People don't have to have sex with everyone. We might as well say , well, we did not find your eyebrows, or nose or style or whatever or no reason. The same apply to us. We get turned down for any reason, move on and respect the people who refused to have sex with you. People trying to inject some sort of rules; like "swinger scene" rules. Why the need to inject a discourse into this so-called "scene"?. We just wanna meet/socialise/have sex with people who we feel like meeting/socialising/having sex with and use the website as a tool. I don't think we can define RHP or the swinger scene as community. Ahaha what am I doing, half of the post is only - semi relevant (if that) but I just wanted put it out there (also lots of time in hand on a lazy sunday morning :)) so I will proceed with posting...
