| ever date an on going arguement. Posted: 10/18/2007 5:37:53 PM | I am wondering how many people have ever dated a person that seemed to have the need to argue or disagree with just about everything?
I am not talking about political disagrements or religious arguements. I am talking about just everyday conversation stuff!
After starting a thread that a "few" found to be so offensive, I was reminded of a women I dated for a while. Well intill the BELLY just couldn't take it anymore! I said belly she said gut!
She was the type that had to reword or correct everything everyone said untill it was the way she wanted it, or felt it should be!
Go straight. No, never straight always forward. Wow what a huge crowd.. No it a big crowd! Oh what a cute baby, babies arn't cute they are adorable.
So have you ever dated a living thesaurus? | |

He never forgot anything I ever said either. This one month relationship was exhausting and draining and he thought it was fun and entertaining.  | |

We can't talk about punching a disabled person in the head... people with these control issues definately have a disability....but the troll police are on the prowl so do not to bring up in a post or it will be deleted.

| ever date an on going arguement. Posted: 10/18/2007 7:18:22 PM | Yes, I have dated a woman like that. It seems those are the only ones I date..
I might listen to her for an hour complaining about work, and how poor of a job her coworker is doing. I would agree, and say something like "Yes, she is not doing a good job" Her reply would be "No, actually she does a very good job". WTF??? This would happen every single day in one form or another.. | |

Rather than calling it a "control freak" issue (although that could often be true), I call it the Devil's Advocate syndrome. I don't like debating or any form of conflict - so, I can only handle those people in small doses. | |

Posted: 10/19/2007 3:49:29 AM | No, I have not dated a person like this but am curious as to how much energy a person like this must have in order to not only try to live her own life ... but to also try to direct the lives of those around her ... perhaps she should seek employment in the directors chair ...

| ever date an on going arguement. Posted: 10/19/2007 3:56:14 AM | No thanks.
Did you ever ask her what it was like to be right all the time? I mean, what an incredible waste of energy!!
People such as her have WAAAAAAAAAAAYYY too much drama going on in their lives.
I've no time for that cr@p! | |

| Sounds like a HUGE bore... Posted: 10/19/2007 5:55:50 AM | | She sounds like a huge bore. I've found folks that have the need to try to control conversations, people, situations, etc., they are really insecure and that is their way of making themselves feel better. Keep looking...there are some really together women, like me, just waiting for a great guy to come along. Women who've learned to not try to change people but either accept them as they are or don't be with them. | |

| ever date an on going arguement. Posted: 10/19/2007 6:03:34 AM | Did you ever tell her it was annoying you? Sometimes we get so used to a behavior we do not even realize that we are doing it. How unfair to not mention it to her but to mention it to everyone on here. Glad you are so perfect.. Perfect enough to be right. | |

| ever date an on going arguement. Posted: 10/19/2007 6:07:42 AM | I've had dates like this. Make me barf!!
I see this as insecurity, poor social skills and being too nervous to be able to stay calm on a first date. To me, it seems the person is trying to impress me with their superior intellect. win me over A social flaw. | |

| ever date an on going arguement. Posted: 10/19/2007 6:48:17 AM | | I love people like that . . . they're sooooooooooooo much fun to ignore, it drives them nuts!!! Then when you've had enogh fun with that, go out of your way to let them know their opinion doesn't matter. As they're about to explode simply say, "don't go away mad, just go away!" | |

| ever date an on going arguement. Posted: 10/19/2007 7:26:38 AM | No, I have no desire to date someone who thinks his way is the only way to look at things, and that the opinions of others are to be ridiculed. That happens frequently on here when someone starts a thread and doesn't get the adulation they expected. The Op MUST be right and anyone who disagrees is to be scorned and ridiculed. Yep...I see that quite a bit here...and it's a good thing....shows people who to avoid.  | |

How one disagree's is the differance. An insultive comment or negetive reply will recive BELLY love in return! ( BELLY hand book pg 2. How to deal with haters)
I can state my opinion with out ridiculing the question or the asker.. (shows self respect)
"shows people who to avoid." Well thanks for stoping by to visit the BELLY.. | |

| ever date an on going arguement. Posted: 10/19/2007 7:48:33 AM | | Yup, I dated a guy that thought the sun should rise and shine on him only....he could do or say anything, and I was supposed to take it at face value...wrong!!!! I had my own opinions and thoughts, and my own way of doing things, so since he was always right, and I was always the bad guy, I thought he would be better off dating someone more worthy of himself....so I stepped-aside so he could be with the one person he could truely love...HIMSELF. | |
