I'll add that to my pet peeve list as well. | |

Posted: 10/16/2005 5:27:19 PM | | I'd have to say my biggest peeve are people who act like they're your friend but in the long run they're just out to use ya. I have one of those friends and because I'm such a nice person, I get stepped over. It's hurtful and mean! People need to stop and think about what they're doing sometimes....I'm just glad that I have at least one friend that I can rely on! | |

Posted: 10/16/2005 7:17:42 PM | Pet peeve? That sounds like some kind of support group jargon from the human potential movement. Kids in elementary school have "pet peeves". Adults have something a little more..shall I say...refined?
I prefer to say that certain things just PISS ME OFF.
Right now at the top of the list is the "Black Eyed Peas" poor excuse for a musical selection, "My humps".
Ladybug, I figure that the person who didn't know what lane they were in was likely temporarily insane from hearing "My humps" on the radio. I almost drove into the ditch listening to it. I suppose I could have turned the radio off but for some reason I tried to find the appeal of it. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 10:05:42 AM | My pet peeve is the seperated and divorced guys who are messaging single women. Some of these men have used and abused their ex wifes and then think the single women are stupid and gullible enough to want to be with them. That really pisses me off. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 11:23:14 AM | Sassy are you saying that ALL divorced men are bad? People our age have had previous lives...shit happens, some of us are divorced...doesn't make us bad people. Perhaps one of these divorced men had a wife that cheated on him....does that make him a bad person?
Believe it or not....women do abuse men. Women abuse children. No one is perfect. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 11:44:49 AM | Ladybug, no I don't feel that all divorced men are bad. From my previous experiences talking with some of these men, they have a real dislike for their ex spouses. Really putting them down and name calling. They never mentioned adultery. I personally do not want to know these men, that is my perogative. Yes there are women also abusing men and children but these men just didn't like their ex wives. If they abuse one woman it could be a cycle where they do it to the next one!

Posted: 10/18/2005 2:24:00 PM | Sassygirl:
Simply disliking an ex spouse or even name calling one doesn't mean these divorced men have been or are abusive or that they are even bad men. That seems like an awfully big generalization you are making. They are also EX spouses for a reason. No divorce brings out the best in people. Hard to talk well of someone that you once loved and had a relationship with whom you no longer love or have that relationship.
I know I'm facing a separation soon that will probably end in divorce, and I'm sure I'll have some negative things to say about her at some point to some one, but I would be rather insulted to have it assumed that I was an abuser because of that or that I never appreciated her or any other assumption made without knowing me, my ex, or the circumstances surrounding our divorce.
You're right sassygirl, you have a right to feel as you do, but it doesn't make it a healthy approach for yourself or that other person that might be perfect for you but he's divorced. I think you may be closing the door on a lot of good decent people because of your issue with divorce itself and the assumptions you are making. If you were divorced, for any reason, and felt negative about your ex because of it, would you want to be judged as an abuser then? I doubt it.
Just something to think about. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 2:58:07 PM | There are some divorced men who speak with a hatred for there ex wifes or ex girlfriends. So I don't think too many women are standing in line to want to date these men .Also there are other single women not just myself who do not want to date a divorced man. Also you are still married and are on a dating site and you do not want your picture shown? Now why is that? Also other women on this site have mentioned that they would like a man to show a picture of himself, so what are you hiding? Show everyone what you look like, so they will be able to put a real face to your writing?
Just something to think about. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 3:57:40 PM | Excuse me sassy, this site isn't just for dating, it's also for forums --where we happen to be, and I have very explicitly stated why I'm here in my profile, so once again, I'd be very careful about the assumptions you make. I could have easily lied in my profile and state I was already separated and looking, but that is not the case.
I'm not hiding and why is it important what I look like? Are you going to make more assumption again? I am not dating here sassy, so no need to post my pic, but if you are into skin cancer scaring, I guess I can post a close up shot for you. Feel better? MANY on here don't post a pic and for a variety of reasons. You seem to jump from one assumption to another.
I tried to be respectful of your opinion and didn't insult you at all. I only asked you to consider the negative impact of your assumptions on yourself and others. I made no personal attacks. Could you extend the same courtesy? | |

The truth hurts. If you think I'm assuming too much then don't pay attention . I speak for myself.

Posted: 10/18/2005 4:56:35 PM | I think we can all probably agree that when two people aren't meant to be together it means just that.
They are better off alone or with someone else.
Alone first for sure.
Blame shouldn't be a part of it.
Point is, as a whole, they just didn't work out.
They can both be wonderful people separate but maybe together it wasn't right.
We need to learn from people, forgive, admit our mistakes cause we all make em and begin to grow again.
I'll start first...
Sorry for freaking out when you used my name Steve 1976. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 5:07:16 PM | Nice post Kis. At this moment in my life I appreciate what you just had to say. I think that is why my wife and I a determined to NOT hate each other when it's all over. Lots of mistakes were made, I'm hoping to grow from mine and be a better person in the end (but it is a long hard road).
We need to get ladybug's thread back on track.
Another pet peeve: administrators in education who have never taught in the classroom, telling teachers how to teach  --I have 3 administrators in my school who have never taught. Gotta love the irony. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 7:02:51 PM | Speaking as a man who considers his ex-wife to be one of his closest friends, I can say not all divorcees are mysoginists. I also think you shouldn't pre-judge others based on something they did for the right reasons but just didn't work out.
I do agree with you to a certain extent though: any man that is trying to chat up a woman by putting down his ex must have some residual issues to resolve and is a definite warning sign to watch for. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 7:08:29 PM | | oh, and my pet peeve? Poor spelling, grammar and punctuation. Gah! The forums here are pretty good but Plenty of Fish should incorporate a spell checker utility for the profiles in future updates. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 7:33:16 PM | | I cracked up one day at someone typing and spewing out words so fast that nearly 1/2 of them were spelled and arranged wrong. Then they'd go back over the whole thing and correct it all. It's one of the funniest things I ever witnessed. | |

Posted: 10/19/2005 7:33:02 AM | One of my biggest pet peeves:
Nova Scotia drivers who are so polite that they're dangerous.
A couple of examples:
I've seen people stop on the rotary to let others on.
I've seen people stop at a green light and then coax a pedestrian to cross on the red -- fortunately I've also seen those stopped cars get rear-ended -- hope it taught them a lesson.
There are others, but I'll stop here. | |

Posted: 10/19/2005 1:11:04 PM | Just thaught I'd ad my two cents to the divorce men messaging single women bit. So sassy is it your absolute certainety that should you get married (god forbid),that you will never get devorced? And should the impossible happen and your perfectness end up devorced, do you sware not to ever show your face on this site,any other similar site or even respond any kind of advance ever again?
You see, I was just thinking that some people remain single for a reason.
I could suggest keeping an open mind but basd on your replys so far whats the use? | |

Posted: 10/20/2005 8:13:00 AM | | Everyone has their preferences and opinions. People can change opinions and it often does happen. I don't agree with the point about divorced men either, but I do realize there's lots of situations in a person's life that can create hostility and mistrust like that. With that in mind, making fun and putting people down isn't a good method to help or change anyone's opinions if that's whats taking place here. Some of you need to ease up on the personal attacks and name calling here. I know i'm no moderator here but I have little tollerance for that kind of stuff. | |
