druidess6308: Hope you feel better after your coffee!

I have to admit that I get annoyed by all of the "Would you date me?" and "Would you sleep with me?" threads. Honestly, if you have that little confidence, you've got work to do on you before you enter into any type of relationship. As to the advice seekers...well, what might seem trivial to some of us is apparently of import to the person posting. I read, and if I can't come up with a nice or serious response, I usually move on. Unless I'm bored. I really do try not to join in with putting these people down. And if it's one of my friends, I will take it seriously, no matter how minor it might seem to me.

I'm not perfect, so there are times I do things that I shouldn't, but I try not to most of the time.

What she said!

Also, on the flipside... if I post something, I shouldn't expect people to respond if they don't want to. Everybody is free to post at their own will here on whichever topics interest them.

hrt4lse: Ya think?

If not actually judging them, then at least forming an opinion and deciding not to go that direction.

Exactly!

In response to: Well, don't have much to say, just noticing that in the last few weeks that, I totally understand why many people on this site are single.....it seems that we have got an influx of stupid people. people that are in their 20's-50's posting threads and asking for anwsers to questions that any 7yr. old child could anwser or explain, alot of the people bring only drama and stupidity, nothing good to the table. Do these people seriously think that someone would want to date them. Don't they realize that we are judging their character and demeanor in their threads and posts???? and when they cry out for attention and want someone to feel sorry for them, that we are getting a taste of what they would be like to date?????

your thoughts....

Well of course it's just my opinion but I don't believe that people are stupid. Yes we do stupid things but to slap labels on people is to react out of frustration. Yeah I do it too. I guess this morning after listening to Nicole Nordeman and her kind heartfelt lyrics I am tired of unkindness. Although lately I have found myself reacting to what I perceive as the cruelty in some people that they try to palm off as humor their biases have come across as ignorance and trying to make others feel lesser.
Maybe they are just being goofy and having fun coming on here and posting the nonsense polls and look-at-me-am-I-worthy threads. Maybe others really are serious and have self esteem issues. I don't know but I stay away from most of those threads lately but I know that I could be a bit kinder to some people who I am not on the same wavelength as. Just a thought and trying to take responsibility for my part in things. It is wonderful to joke on these forums but all of us have those things that we just don't find amusing.

Growing up with an extremely abusive mentally, physically, and emotional, father whose family was from the South I guess the women bashing sets me off. If we are to have successful relationships with the opposite sex then respect for the "personhood" and uniqueness of others must be in there somewhere.
After all it's the little things that make us unique and make those who love us remember us when we pass on.
