Don't feed the trolls, Joe! laugh

All paths lead to the Tao. I am more concerned with enjoying myself and having interesting debates here than finding "true love." I think anyone who comes to the forum is already in that state of mind, because you have already lost hope for your immediate geographic locale.

But yes, it is fun to debate these things. When people try very hard to build the conversation around themselves, it evokes your aforementioned right to opinion. So in that respect, it is probably a wise policy to think of the subject at hand in a more abstract sense than your immediate self.

County, city, Illinois, it's all St. Louis to me. I actually live in South County, but I rarely stay in one spot for more than a few hours at a time.

Haha.. Lex. Posting this thread makes me want to get into an argument with you sometime.

I hope we can find something controversial to disagree upon.

Yeah, but at least I can ADMIT to being a condescending jerk.

Tell me something I don't know.



Everyone should read my "Arrogant Narcissistic Conceited Jerks" thread from a few days ago.

Seems that all of this has been covered quite nicely, and very recently!





Have you got a link? That's a lot of forum to narrow down to one topic.

..it's been interesting to see some of the kind of people that post in here. although, there does seem to be a few people that just want to start arguements....


Yes, we are called trolls, and we thrive on the misery of others.

My name is Greg, pleasure to meet you miss.

FYI, I started this post thinking of you Cassie...


lol. hellkitten or whatever, i wasn't taking the beach thing personally, i was just explaining that not everyone who says things like what lex and mr. music listed in his list of peeves are taken from someone else's profile. now the thing with the kid, yes i do take that personally, because i have a 2 year old and he is absolutely everything to me. and i want any guy who is interested in me to know that i'm a mom first, until the end of time. someone with no children could NEVER understand that feeling. that's all.


I'm glad you got the joke, I was kinda iffy on saying that. As far as kids go, I know how you feel. I'm a dad to the end and I love my son more than anything. Nobody could ever come between me and my son or whatever children I might have at the time and its good for whoever I might be seeing to know that, so they don't waste their time trying.


Anyone that can read, can see if you checked off that you have children. And to add to that, if they have any sense of reality. They would KNOW that your child comes first. It doesn't need to be displayed on your profile, since that is what being a parent is.


Yes, that one is patently obvious, isn't it?

I think single mothers looking at relationships stand a lot better odds of finding what they want if they focus on demonstrating how different/intelligent/creative/etc. they are than just saying it after drilling in the speech about how the kid comes first.

I mean, they might as well be explaining that 1+1=2. At length. In detail.

well **** it. i do love the beach. because i like to camp there, and it's serene and i live somewhere that doesnt have a beach so it's a treat when i do get around to getting to the coast. i didn't copy off of anyone's page. it's an interest of mine so i put it down. just like singing and writing and taking my kid to the park. they are things i find fun and that make me happy.slaphead


Wow, I guess you think this whole topic is about you huh?whoa rofl


You are such a venomous, volatile character, hellkitten.. and that is why I like you.

Understandable -- I've been scarred for life by the sheer, overwhelming level of vapidity! It's like suddenly there's no oxygen anymore....


Vapidlious vapidness of vapidly vapidity?

Hahaha.. you love that word. :laughing:

"I don't know what to write here."

"I'll fill this out later."

"My friend told me about this site and I'm not going to write anything here until I see if it's worth it."

"Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask."

"I'm laid back and easy going."

"I love my friends and family."

"I'm different from anyone else you've ever met." (Then their profile is a word-for-word identical copy of the last 285,000 I've read.)

"I'm a single mother of two kids and they are my world."

"No game players."

"I like going out or staying in."

"I'm a fun person who likes to have fun." (A COMPLETE profile from another site.)

"I'm me." (Another complete profile -- how very informative!)

Profile pictures with more than one person and they never bother to tell you which one the profile belongs to.

Misspelled words are bad, yeah. Inability to use apostrophes correctly.

"Tired of dating loosers."

"Good sence of humor."

etc.

sounds like you want a woman with absolutely nothing or anyone in her life. maybe you'd be better off with a blow up doll. she doesn't say anything and has no attachment to anyone else ever!


Actually, I am in total agreement with Lex on this one. What does any woman who relies on these stupid cliche's have to offer in terms of intelligence or originality?

In the end, these might be all the qualities that are left. Even the best looking woman begins to sag and wrinkle with time, so she better have something more worthwhile than a cute face to offer if she is looking for long-term.


That's really my point -- if she can't write anything better than that -- if she can't write anything even remotely engaging or original at all -- why should I waste my time?

Yet, about 98% of all the profiles I read are just that vapid and empty.


Well, I've been here for couple months now and I am willing to give people more benefit of the doubt than you do, I suspect.

In reality people are generally more intelligent in their respective niche, they just don't apply themselves to such a degree as would say.. a Psychologist who studies the nitty gritty and mechanics of presentation so closely.

I also think it is possible for women to be a little -too- smart, and that is something to consider when trying to get a clear picture of what our leagues truly are.

I have no problem being considered judgmental. I judge people all the time, just like you do every time you look at a profile.

Haha well, when you spend as much time in East St. Louis as I do, you tend to notice it.

Because you feel pressured by other sheep to comply with their worldview and subject yourself to an outdated social contract.

'Til death do you part, or whenever it is convenient to get a divorce.

Well, this is a violent city. You might consider a life of crime and decadence.

I have been growing a beard lately, so I guess it is time for a new picture.

So, Rare, any tips for grooming?
wouldnt know, mine is all natural drinker


Spoken like a true bearded wild man. May your exploits in life be none too few, and your enemies fear your wrath.

Hah. People use the word lightly. You know how to test you are in love? Let's take you both in a room and tell you that you have an opportunity to jump in front of your lover's bullet. That's a good scenario.

All of the embellishment and confirmation of words is pointless. Actions determine the nature of the beast.

Yeah, these are the kinds of fights you have when you are five and six.. because then people still ring in your mind as property, and friends "belong" to you.

In reality, people tend to worry more about themselves than stuff like this. I think you should tell them that it's completely boring and juvenile, and then I think you should recommend some Shel Silverstein books to facilitate the next step in their psychosocial development.

Ah, Calleigh is back. So am I.

I guess there's no more room for jerks and playboys around here? Hahaha.

A little tip for women: refrain from using the words "Mr. Right," "Prince Charming," or "drama and games" in any combination or order in your profile. We appreciate it.
