And aren't the winners supposed to vamoose anyway to their dating and relationshipping bliss -- until they come back with the WTF Happened threads?
That's when the winners become the whiners
Perhaps we'd call that Karma - something I'd like to believe in but don't really. Ohh, bad OFF TOPIC POST! I've severely reprimanded myself. | |

| well, I'm not the one who's single... Posted: 9/21/2007 5:14:29 PM | If you're not single....what the hell are you doing on a site that it primarily meant for single people.
I am not "single" either...I have met a tremendous man on POF and we are having a great time getting to know each other, going places and doing things together and enjoying each other's company. Quess people who are not single do not do that...otherwise they would not be on here bashing the ones who are HUH? | |

| well, I'm not the one who's single... Posted: 9/21/2007 5:22:34 PM | You forgot about parents vs. non-parents....I have seen it said in the forum to others (not to myself)
"your profile says you don't have kids so how can you offer advice when you don't have any kids yourself?"
These kinds of statements are usually made when someone disagrees with a poster but can not come up with a valid rebuttal statement. I don't see it as a burn against the person that it was directed at but rather a burn against the person making the statement themselves. It shows their immaturity and how narrow minded they are.
No one group of people is any better than the other. We just bring different views and experiences to the table. We are here to share ideas, thoughts, experiences and opinions. It would be nice if we could all be civil to each other...but hey this is cyberworld and anything goes! | |

If you're not single....what the hell are you doing on a site that it primarily meant for single people. uggghhhh....more of that... I'm not trolling for dates. I was on here a long, long time before I found someone. There are people I regularly gab with that are friends, I make new friends (both male and female) and the forums amuse me. Besides, I get wonderful ideas from these forums at times. The revenge ideas are amazing. Actually, couldn't you say I'm being smart, because I have time to plan revenge way ahead of time before the guy leaves me?? (just kidding....not doing that) | |

Just look back through the replies and i cannot see where anybody said this. What i said is "most people" on here are looking for dates!  | |

A bunch of single people trying to give each other relationship advice. Umm, if we HAD the answers, would we be here?
Yeah, kinda like, "here take my advice, I'm not using it".
Well, Fry, you win the prize for what is perhaps the most simple and spot on post I have ever seen in these forums. Congratulations, and well said. I'm in Brigadoon, Wisconsin. Is Dairy Aire nearby? | |

| well, I'm not the one who's single... Posted: 9/21/2007 9:42:27 PM | Oh yes, I agree whole heartedly. You absolutely cannot be right about anything or have a valid opinion on something unless you are married, in a relationship or dating 6 nights a week.
I mean, really, what were we thinking? Clearly only attached people are brilliant and know the answers to all of life's great questions.
Doesn't matter if you were once married, or otherwise attached, once you become single again you automatically revert back to being an idiot.

................. oh phooy my basher is back at it. Ah yes, when your inconsistencies are exposed and its pointed out clearly that that of which you are accusing others of is exactly what you're doing yourself, and you have ZERO logical responses, then start the name-calling ("basher"). As *several* others have already pointed out here, stooping to the name-calling tactic only serves to highlight your lack of any reasonable response.  | |

Or, tearing others down is the cheapest way of trying to build yourself up. Those who can't do, tend to do unto others ;) | |

| well, I'm not the one who's single... Posted: 9/22/2007 12:23:12 PM | | *laughs* If I ever get in such an argument, it's going to be VERY sick humor that truly wins... that and a site full of TERRIBLE marriage jokes.... they arent worth being serious with, but they ARE worth having a little fun with when they are that uptight. | |

| well, I'm not the one who's single... Posted: 9/25/2007 10:25:03 AM | | Fry Lock; Different people have different goals. Just because some were brainwashed to think that being married, and a parent, and such, are what life is all about does not mean that everyone everywhere has fallen for that line, and bought that bill of goods. The idea you have-that if any of us knew anything about relationships we would all be married-is childish, to say the least. The type of relationships, or number of relationships, we have is not that important. It is the quality of relationships which matters. Is a married woman who is cheated on, beaten on, maritally raped, robbed, and finally murdered by her spouse-ala Nichole Brown Simpson-a wise, and successful, person-smarter than the rest of us-just because she was married? Might not a woman who never marries-but has several good relationships with men who treat her like a valued treasure-be smarter than the Nichole Brown Simpson like wife? Cancel your programming, grow up, and get a real life. The 'ideal' of living like Barbie Doll until you wed, and then miraculously changing into June Cleaver, is a mindless fantasy incapable of being fulfilled. Look at those-such as Britney Spears-who tried it and failed miserably. Quality is what counts...not quantity, or style. | |

Nicely said Wodehousefan, and may I applaud you on your literary taste. 
Apropro of nothing in particular, I give you the following - "without prejudice, and for what it is worth" as PSmith would say.
I was so darned sorry for poor old Corky that I hadn't the heart to touch my breakfast. I told Jeeves to drink it himself. | |

| well, I'm not the one who's single... Posted: 9/25/2007 12:30:13 PM | Yep alot of us here are triing to find someone new to meet, other than getting set up with someone who you won't like from your friends, family, etc.. So Alot of us has dated before and I'm sure some of us are divorced(hope i spelled that right..lol) So we should have some knowledge in dating. We just need to translate it into our lives, what advice we give others and what we have been through, through out our lives.I guess we are here triing to figure out the answers getting others opinions and sharing our experiences.

| well, I'm not the one who's single... Posted: 9/26/2007 11:48:00 AM | | Not being single does, in no way, equate to having a strong healthy relationship. I happen to know a lot of people who are "not the one who's single", but probably should be! It all comes down to quality versus quantity, and your personal definition of same. | |
|
| well, I'm not the one who's single... Posted: 9/26/2007 1:23:07 PM | I think its funny to read the what some people post on threads as being "fact", when in fact its only their opinion. Personally I feel if a person is in a relationship and uses this site as a venue for entertainment its ok. To say they know more because they are in a relationship, which has probably been preceded by failed relationships, makes them pompous and arrogant IMO. I must admit I;m not offened by them and I enjoy messing with people who appear to do this, their responses back to me is part of the way I use this site as a venue for entertainment. A person who isn't in a relationship or doesn't date that often may just be fussier than the self proclaimed relationship/dating experts. | |
