Loads of Sob stories, but sure you can't always have good humour posts either, it's nice to have a balance shows the kinda people here are real as oppossed to virtual.
How many sad stories and happy one's can you relate to and even id it's just 1 then you could help them to get through their rough times.
Definitely not. I cant abide whining. If you have a problem, then get help, but just whining for the sake of gaining sympathy is annoying and a big turn off
Being a member on many chat sites over the years, I've had tons of friends and aquaintances, seen the whining, the drama, all that good stuff. I also knew alot of men on most of these sites. They almost always would say that they hated it when women would message them whining. They usually didn't mind one, two times, but some people just never stop. Me personally, ocassionally, but probably rarely, I may be really bummed and post a *whining* type of post, or message a friend and whine to them...but I try not to. I don't want anyone to like me, or be nice to me out of pity.. My 2 cents
Good god no! I can not tolerate whinny people who complain way too much. Don't get me wrong I am sure I have had a few sob stories on here too and we all have our moments but I am talking about those who has to whine and complain about every single thing every single day. And I unfortunatly know people like that. It depresses me and frustrates me to no end

Continual whining is neither attractive nor condusive to wanting to spend too much time around someone.
We all have times when we need support from friends, or need to help comfort someone in emotional turmoil or just the problems shared syndrome. That is part of all our lives and and a normal caring way to relate to each other.
But to constantly whine and call for attention for no good reason, to me shows a very needy person which drains your energy and ultimately turns me for one away.
Don't get me wrong, there have been times when if wasn't for my friends, I am not sure how I would have got through things and I am always here for anyone who may just need someone to chat to, or help in any way physically that I can.
But we all have to realise the world does not revolve around any one of us alone and ongoing pity me, look at me, come gather to me, whining is not at all attractive to me personally.
