USMCHokie Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Perhaps one must weigh it against the overall discomfort and discouragement one feels when reading such posts. How high is one's threshold? Indeed. But is that not strengthening one's internal fortitude and resolve...? Isn't that what you strive to push everyone to get to? A point where you are unaffected? Turning off the switch on someone is basically submitting that you are affected by them and their ideas.
edgygirl Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Well because, in my view, that's exactly what they are. And yes, I am judging them by their words and what they post which makes me sick to my stomach. I don't think what I said is juvenile. It's just reality and there are plenty of people here who agree with me. Them saying women over 30 are washed up is what's immature, specially coming from women haters as they are. Do I really have to explain it to you? Small observation here...but how is calling them "unfortunate clowns" any different from them saying a woman (e.g., you) is "washed up" due to her age...? It just seems juvenile from both ends... Your assessment of them is as much a judgment as their assessment of you... So what gives...?
ThaWholigan Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Indeed. But is that not strengthening one's internal fortitude and resolve...? Isn't that what you strive to push everyone to get to? A point where you are unaffected? Turning off the switch on someone is basically submitting that you are affected by them and their ideas. That's a good point. The only reason why I suggest ignoring the likes of Greznog (without mentioning the t-word) is simply because his argument is redundant and repetitive. That's not to say that it isn't beneficial to be able to withstand the bullsh*t of posters like that, I feel it is to a large extent. It's more so the disruptive element - but you are right, and we should not allow ourselves to be affected by their ideas (and their bullsh*t). Especially if one believes they are not correct.
Woggle Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Just live your life and in doing that you will probably meet somebody good along the way. Fixating on how you think you will never meet somebody tends to become a self fulfilling prophecy. Don't let LS get you down. This board is filled some of the most bitter people on the face of the earth. People get married at all types of ages.
edgygirl Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 No it's not. It's depressing. I thought in the beginning I could learn from the bs they post to be aware and avoid such men, but after a while it gets tiring and plain offensive. The OP doesn't want her thread to go in that direction if you hadn't notice. I think we should focus in the difficulty of finding love and not in some loser assclowns. Indeed.
