The uhoh moment when you realize you're on different wavelengths

It may only be me but there's always that urge to leap for the door when someone I've known for ages, or just met, suddenly comes out with one of the following. Uh - uh oh

In no particular order, for sure you won't agree with some, although maybe the last ... That's okay. I'm looking for an argument.

All immigrants are parasites, if they were any good they'd stay in their own countries (ok I know that one's a personal reaction) rolling on the floor laughing
Violence is a cry for help and our fault as a society, not theirs. blues
Oo's daddy's little pwecious den? to a dog or cat (it's the babytalk, not the affection, btw)
The moon landing was faked, you know
He's the greatest leader we ever had (I don't care whether you mean Hitler, Nixon, Churchill or someone more topical, nope, change the subject)
He / she is dead to me (especially when about a former close friend wow)
Oh, I'm totally God-driven (uh oh)
So what you're saying is (then they say the OPPOSITE to what you just said roll eyes)
I'd rather die than miss 'Strictly Come Dancing' (Really? rather DIE?)
No such thing as lesbians, just women who can't get a real man
I don't often talk about it, but when I was abducted by aliens ... super

Stirring, stirring, stirring ... grin bring it on boxing

uh oh nope I don't think I've ever said any of those laugh
Which is why we're friends laugh

Anyone ever said any of them to you, though? Or worse? wow
I think over my years on CS all of them in mail at one time or other laugh maybe that's why I'm still single rolling on the floor laughing
Art and I have agree to disagree thumbs up

He believes his country had landed on the moon 9 times.

MiMi believes they were faked grin
MiMi is wrong about six snooty (didja see the face there, didja?) rolling on the floor laughing

Art may be wrong about three laugh there were nine missions, six landed men on the moon
Z, you're single because you are impossibly difficult to please, lord knows I try and try and try sigh

roll eyes

Biff, I'm sitting in a total bastion of progressivism---our wonderful Food Coop Cafe. My politics, at least on non social issues, are often at variance with many of the nice folks here, but we can always talk. I've found that there are strategies for interacting that bring things forward, and others that don't so much. I tend toward the former, but sometimes guess at tactical/strategic approaches that have caused strife. Which isn't always bad. But on balance, I prefer the warmer and fuzzier approaches. So no arguments from me here.
And

MiMi strongly believes in black magic, psychic, fortune-teller, clairvoyant, medium, reincarnation, witch-doctors ( that’s what he claims they are! roll eyes ) and what have you grin

Art respects my beliefs but roll eyes roll eyes roll eyes
Vier, you've come up with some paralysing statements in your time here, but you've mellowed a lot laugh


No argument from me, many are quacks but there are more things than are dreamed of in our philosophy etc etc - to say all true, or none, either way would be bigoted. To discuss - fascinating!
The first time Art came visit MiMi in 2017, I took him for dried wonton noodle with char-siew ( barbecued pork ). MiMi thought he’d be blown away with the yummy soy sauce noodle!

Imagine MiMi’s horror when her Arty told her that he didn’t like the noodle at all?!? Instead, he preferred the Peking duck which MiMi loathed!

I think, I went there once
When it comes from your own family, it's a real good time to change the subject to anything else. wow
Francisco Franco, he was flying a drone


over Pakistan
Mimi, that's wonderful news. Ok can make catering at home tricky but nothing nicer than a partner who doesn't try to nab all your favourites but has his own

Match made in heaven smitten
Methuzelah - you lost me, hon. Eh? confused
on which one
Oh! You’re right, Biff!!!

MiMi has never seen it that way before! doh

Thank you! applause laugh
Imp, never mind the subject, time to change your family? uh oh

Don't get me wrong, I love debate, I'll argue happily about anything. But these are all flat statements, not open to argument. Yikes!
Thanks, Biff. The art is indeed long.
Mimi, wait, just wait, until a food parcel arrives with your favourite treats from your past and you don't have to hide it or feel guilty or anything - laugh

Timing is all important when finding out differences in philosophies.
If it is one that you both hold extremely strong, unshakable, views on , it's probably better to get it out of the way early to stop both of you wasting your time.
Other, less intransigent issues, can be drip fed naturally. At that stage, hopefully you will like and respect each other to either be able to debate it sensibly or even more sensibly, not discuss it
laugh
Methuzelah, you went where?

And the drone in Pakistan ...?

Definitely a wavelength fail, but I am frequently thick when following my own train of thought through thickets
Molly for sure it is way more unnerving when you've known the person a long time, if not well. uh oh

Luckily not ever come up in a relationship situation, usually friendships or colleagues
well, I was just following your funny

crazy blog
Methuzelah, crazy is where I'm at so thank you laugh
I had an ex who used to ve constantly complaining about Eastern European women working in delis, etc.

On the other hand, he used to also complain that the natives didn't accept him.

You can't have it both ways
roll eyes laugh
Quite liking the way the green light goes out within seconds of logging out of CS these days. Back soon with coffee

Molly, them as sees a law for them and a law for everyone else make me very nervous. A good one for the list applause
Heard all of those toodoh but for once I have not uttered one peace myself
Hello Biff,wave Speaking of different wave lengths , recent a young fellow I know showed a side of himself I wasn t aware of. He took pride in degrading women,all women and loved to argue about it,doh . This came out of the blue, and that attitude shocked me,doh He thought his rude ,disrespectful attitude was funny. I politely asked him, do you ever wonder why you can t find yourself a girlfriend,confused
It was a side of someone I never thought existed, quite a shocker. Defintely a Different wave length.
I don't think I've used any of those and .... shoot me if I have. Thanks laugh
Vier I'm usually interested in other points of view even if - sometimes especially if - they are absolutely opposite to my own - so long as there is rationality and thought behind them, not just I'M JUST RIGHT OKAY? DON'T NEED TO SAY WHY, I JUST AM! Anyone who is prepared to talk, I'm listening. And if they're listening, I'm talking. Makes life more interesting when people have different opinions laugh
1to1 haters scare me more than anyone else - I never resist that urge to leave, I'm gone as fast as possible.

We have had a few on here who plainly hated women and you think dude, a singles site. Why ARE you here??

But then I sometimes wonder that about others on here, they don't seem to like anyone, male or female, who doesn't agree to a T with their opinions. roll eyes
TR, you've suffered laugh

Unicorns aren't as pretty as you'd expect, though blues
This from a message to my mailbox, wish she'd posted it -

That awful moment when you have got right to the good part, you're peeling off clothes, and he says 'come to Daddy'

Guys - DON'T. EVER.
I’m the biggest gossip here on CS....does that mean you don’t like me no more, Berry? blues moping
You don't gossip to me MiMi....so, no doesn't bother me.

What people say about others, we have little control over.

It's harmful when gossip is malicious and misleading.....in other words a pack of lies.....that's when it's damaging. If it's amongst close, trusted friends, anything goes.....because we know it goes nowhere else.

I don't venture too far down the back streets on this site though....grin
