To respect someone to me is a hard question to really answer in the written form.
I see respect to have many different meanings and different levels.
People all see respect to mean different things.
Respect could mean to hold someone in a higher esteem than yourself, someone you would look at with admiration this could be for different reasons.
Respect could mean you value that person’s opinion but not see them in a higher esteem but on an equal level.
Respect could be a natural feeling towards people.
What does respect mean to you?
Willingness to show appreciation or consideration.

I agree but you can respect someone without ever meeting them personally or ever talking to them but just being aware about them. So you could never show that person appreciation or condideration.

I think you can. I don't put my feet on the seats when I'm on the train or bus. I don't know who'll sit there after me and may never meet them but I've been considerate and appreciated their right to have a nice spot to sit in.
Respect means paying your way on any kind of swinging meet!

Yes you can Minxy....in a forum like this for instance. You can respect anothers opinion and try to show consideration for the feelings of others when you post and just now someone showed their appreciation of me in the mistletoe thread...so I think it can be done virtually as well as in person.

I agree if you communicate with someone either verbally or like here in the written form you can show consideration.
My last comment was more to do with someone that you are never going to meet but have respect and admiration for... such as someone like Florence Nightingale sprung to mind.

To me not putting my feet up on a train or bus seat is more down to having manners. but could the two respect and manners be closely linked?
It means that Aretha Franklin will be getting royalties for a long time! :P
I treat people with the same respect I would myself like to be treat with.
If I don't receive respect, I'll not give it in return, end of.

this I belive to be true Minxie.
The simple practice of basic manners with those you either know or don't demonstrates a level of respect for both onesself and everyone else.

A lot of thugs think that it means being scared of them. I might be scared but I wouldn't respect them at all because they are worthless lowlife scum.
Respect...
It's about knowing the difference between what's appropriate and what's not. Knowing when the time is right to have a joke and when it's time to take a moment and think about other people's feelings before you open your gob and let your belly rumble in an attempt at humour.

For me, to respect someone is to value their time, honour their rights and acknowledge their worth. It doesn't necessarily mean to hold them in high esteem or defer to their authority because those things are as often done out of fear or social conditioning as out of genuine respect. If I were to put it in a nutshell, I think it's accepting someone for who they are.
Respect to me
in a short statement
Respect means a lot and goes a long way
respect can and mean a willingness for attonement or appreciation of another ...you can respect a good song writer for producing a song once heard not forgotten or you can respect a person for openning a door for an old lady not a dolly bird, it comes in all shapes and forms but respect is within...... respect yourself then you can respect others they will in turn respect you in their own way.

I once held a door open for a "lady" only to be barked at "I hope you're not doing that because I'm a woman!".
I replied, "no ma'am, I'm doing it because I'm a Gentleman"

Them not cumming in my mouth until I give them the 'nod'?1 wink :shock: Sorry, I'm feeling playful this afternoon on here...
For me it's treating somebody in the same way you would like/expect to be treated regardless of who you are, how old you are, what you do, where you come from etc etc - strip away all that and we're all just human beings that should expect and behave with a basic level of courtesy :P
Something my grandad said to me years ago;
Every man deserves your respect, until he shows you he does'nt.
Respect
It's what I live my life by, in here and in real life.
I try to have humour and always respect others..
Manners goes hand in hand with respect in my book.
ffs but that might be because everyone is bigger than me lol
