-Women who write off guys because they don't have an advanced enough degree/don't have perfect spelling/grammar/didn't like the shirt they wore on the first date/how they wore it/didn't like a comment they made to their dog
-Liubots obsession with WHY DOESNT ANYONE LIKE ME
-Whiners
-People who don't get my sense of humor
-Vaguebooking
-People who talk about their iPhones, can't reference it just as a phone, always an iPhone, come on now it's just a fucking phone GET OVER YOURSELF
-People who tell me to quit swearing
-Hotties who don't text me just cuz they are busy with their parents in town
-Parent martyrs -Flaky friends -Friends who give unsolicited advice and are WAY more of a hot mess than me. For instance my friend who eats a bag of full fat popcorn with extra butter and a 7-up for dinner every night and is 50 pound overweight told me I wasn't eating enough. -People who bitch but don't take steps to change

Pointless irrationality and denying of scientific evidence or facts Abusers of all stripes Lack of compassion and humanity (especially anti choice, anti social safety net combinations) People who try to legislate their religion or claim the US is a "Chirstian" country; it is a secular state Joe Arpaio the sheriff who spends millions chasing potential illegal immigrants instead of processing rape kits and going after violent criminals and rapists People who refuse to take responsibility for their actions Arizona DV laws and judges who ignore DV when making decisions The gun law amendment in AZ to allow a person convicted of DV to continue to carry a gun if they are required to for their job (because so much of the police force here wouldn't have been able to work otherwise) People who are mean and nasty for no reason...

The dynamic of this board lately. It's either people bitching and moaning ALLthefuckingtime, or it's people jumping down each others throats and judging the shit out of them.

Yet we just got criticized for being too positive, telling people to "go for it" with FWBs and for not giving people a hard enough time when they're making crap decisions.
For real? This board is generally all over those post like a fly on shit. Not sure where those comments came from, but it's just been my observation. There's sure a lot of cranky-pants around these parts.
I just sit back and observe....sometimes it's pretty damn entertaining.

Haha, yeah AK came on and was saying that we were being too nice just last week and how she's outgrown us.
I'm honestly a little hurt that you would say this about the board though, especially after how supportive we all were when you got married last week. It's not easy for a lot of people to see wedding pictures, especially when they're on here and we were really happy for you and supportive and now you're pretty much telling us that we're a bunch of cranky bitches.
lol FOR REAL
"I think it's a great idea to go AW my wedding to a bunch of bitter divorced bitches!!!"
I mean, good for you and all, I wasn't offended by it or anything, but really. Think about it. Probably not the best place to post that.

Maybe I am in the minority but I don't think there is anything wrong with people posting wedding pictures on here.

I appreciate the support...and I know I've always loved seeing wedding photos, even when I was recently separated from XH (I had an IRL friend get married 2 months later). I just LOVE wedding photos, regardless of my personal situation. Maybe that's not for everyone...but as with ANY online forum, if you know you won't like what the message inside contains, don't open it.
I guess I'm just generalizing -- it just feels like the overall vibe of this board is different. Maybe it's because I just happen to open posts that contain a shitstorm. Eh, whatever.
I DO think this board is an awesome support system -- especially for those who are new to starting over their lives, whether it be trying to get the courage to leave or realizing their new (and better) life has just begun. I can see a lot of frienships have formed and I think that tight-knittedness (not a word, I know) is pretty awesome. Either way... my comment was simply my personal obersvation and opinon. Take it for what it's worth. For the most part, yes, this board does kick ass though.

:::backing out the thread carefully:::
I don't think there is either, but don't throw your wedding in our faces and then call us bitter bitches. We showed a shitton of support, which can be really hard, and then we got shat on.
I'm all for someone being happy and just because I'm not in that place where I've found someone yet doesn't mean that I cannot be happy for others who have.
That being said, I sometimes get upset or sensitive to people who kind of have an "I've got it all figured out" approach. I'm talking on this board AND IRL. Maybe it's just me getting my feelers hurt too easily but sometimes it's hard to take the "smug married" attitude. Everyone has had different times in their life where things were difficult, whether it was when they were dating, or because of something else they've gone through.
I have two very close friends IRL who are both married. One totally empathizes with me going through difficult periods where I get really down about not meeting the right person and all of the trials/tribulations I've had with dating. Even though she's been married five years, she STILL can put herself in my shoes enough to make me feel better and like I'm not alone.
The other friend doesn't really understand what I'm going through or what to say. It's like because she's married she's so far removed from the dating scene that she just can't even hardly discuss my feelings about it. I don't think it's even intentional, but it comes across as uncaring at times.
Achase-I can relate to what you're saying. I sort of find that once my single friends meet someone it's all puppies and rainbows. And they always keep telling me "oh see! It happened to me, it will happen for you. You just have to hold out for the right one like I did! My life is so awesome now, someday yours will be too. Don't get down about that bad date, keep going! He just wasn't the right one!"

This times a gajillion!!!!
Some people don't really think things through but whatever, I don't go into their posts and tell them what to post. I hate weddings and hate wedding pictures even more. But the world doesn't revolve around me either does it?

I Will admit, I have been cranky. Liubot really pissed me off with her flippant "I'll get a dog to learn responsibility, even though I haven't done anything to be responsible for myself EVER!" And I smacked her down hard. Then again, Liubot had been getting a LOT of head pats lately for NOTHING and it was time for her to have a smack down. She was getting too big in the britches all: "Look at all these good decisions I lied about!"
And your wedding pics are beautiful.
And I :heart: MCC.
I think we do kind of have cycles here where it's like:
"You bought a cookie today? YAY! GO you! Pats on the head to everyone!"
Then it gets tiring having to validate people and it becomes:
"You bought another fucking cookie? Why? You are poor and trying to lose weight! Just making another bad decision. Dumbass."

My typical response is "suck it."
Haha, I thought I was one of the only ones who got all bent out of shape about this. Maybe I am bitter but FFS, really?
I also get irrationally annoyed when said people didn't really date at all before meeting the right person BUT this could have to do with me being secretly envious because I've dated 5 bazillion losers, I'm not sure.

Get a room you two. I'm probably the crankiest bitch on here today since I'm sleep and sex deprived. Feel free to ignore me and go back to your regularly scheduled program.
