tbf Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 That's a good one, I mean It's one thing to be nice to people and help them, but there are limits. That's how people turn into doormats. Or, "Well, I dated ____ who did XYZ, so you're probably going to do XYZ".The hasty generalizations fallacy! Translation: I'm a freaking lazy thinker. Don't expect me to understand distinctions. 1
runningfar Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 That's a Marilyn Monroe quote. Have you seen the type who has appropriated it? Or is my Facebook feed unique in that?
iKING Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 The hasty generalizations fallacy! Translation: I'm a freaking lazy thinker. Don't expect me to understand distinctions. Always a good one. "All men/women do XYZ" Translation: My picker isn't working so well. 1
Eternal Sunshine Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "All my ex gfs have turned out to be crazy" Translation: I am an insensitive dick and and can't handle being called out on it. "All the recent girls I dated wanted marriage and kids like tomorrow" Translation: I just want to hit it and quit it. "I hate drama" Translation: If something is bothering you, you better keep it to yourself. "I just love women" Translation: I am a male slut. 5
Star Gazer Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "I hate drama" Translation: If something is bothering you, you better keep it to yourself. So true. I've grown to hate the word "drama" and avoid men who use it. 1

dreamingoftigers Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "I don't think the number of sexual partners a person has really matters at all. We're all different. To each his own." Translation: I've slept with everyone in a two block radius and don't like talking about it. Can we go to a restaurant a little further away? "I think that men/women expect too much. Unthinkable there are very few good men/women left anymore." Translation: I have serious issues with the opposite sex and largely blame them for whatever is going wrong relationally. "A lot of men/women are just really controlling." Translation: if you don't assert yourself, I will walk all over you. " I'm just staying for the kids." Translation: I am a cheating, passive-aggressive user. Expect nothing from me. I warned you. Although, I think the last one is kind of fair. 5

dreamingoftigers Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 So true. I've grown to hate the word "drama" and avoid men who use it. Funny thing. I have found in life that whatever people tend to shout the loudest about is what they project often. In my family, the most abusive, dysfunctional, disloyal, disrespectful people in it crow loudly about LOYALTY and RESPECT as if it is supposed to be a one-way street leading directly to them. My mother-in-law had a meltdown at a Chinese restaurant on Christmas. A screaming at the top of her lungs meltdown about nit liking the food that her husband had ordered for her that she asked him to. Two floors of people heard it. When we got back to her place (after tipping the waiter a whole helluva lot) she blamed me and her husband for her outrageous crap and then freaked out about how she "just wanted peace and couldn't handle dealing with anybody her stupid family anymore" who "don't even know what she would like even though we've known her for years." :facepalm: The whole experience was rather upsetting at the time. However talking to my mother about it, she cracked up laughing. "dreamingoftigers that woman doesn't even want a peaceful dining experience." It actually helped me deal with her. I just remember that she melts down at restaurants. This was actually round 3 on that count. It had been so long I had actually forgotten. My MIL's version of "peace" is "I want my mind read and everything in it done NOW." The most ridiculously self-centered person I know who runs like a tornado through lives (including her children's) uses the word "drama" and how she's "so sick of it." But I haven't seen her make one sane, healthy choice for herself or her kids in YEARS not to mention the ex-boyfriend conveyor belt she seems to stand at the end of. Yeesh. On a larger note, the most anti-gay people seem to often come out as being gay, with a boatload of self-loathing attached to it. Westboro Baptist Church screams loudly about "God" etc. And look what they do "in his name." If someone is repeating anything a lot, like a catchphrase, it's an automatic flag to me. 2

soccerrprp Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "I like my women to look natural" translation: only if she naturally looks like a supermodel that is. If not, she better does her hair, makeup and get those boobs fixed cause that's what TV made be believe natural looks like. Not true for me. I've seen her in make-up and know she's attractive. I then appreciate her more w/o it. Just me.

dreamingoftigers Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "I like to go out on nice, long walks." -to the buffet table and back. That's why I use cliche lines in my OLD ad. I like to sound like I "do" something other than watch Jersey Shore reruns. 4

iKING Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "You need me" I'm insecure and not so sure that I'm needed presently. "I'm different then most men/women" I'm not really all that different, but I'd like you to think I'm special. "Men/women have to do this/that to get my attention" I'm looking for a reason not to like you. 1
mesmerized Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 On OLD: "I might be slightly older than you but..." Translation: I know my next strong fart might cause me a painful death but I think the maturity I've gained in those 40 years I lived when you didn't exist will make up for .....hmmm what did I want to say? Where are my alzheimer pills again?!?! 3
Krieger Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Can't say any man I've ever dated has interpreted my amazing breasts as the result of being a whore or stupid, as I am neither. it just a stereotype that some times is true IMO.
Star Gazer Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 it just a stereotype that some times is true IMO. Why would you state it as fact then?
soccerrprp Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "I'm looking for a good Christian man/woman." OR "My faith is very important to me." On OLD, this translates to: "It's just another way to help weed out the cheaters and liars, though my faith may not be that important after-all otherwise why would I be dating using these terrible OLD sites." 1
Divasu Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "I was suspended from work because I beat up a civilian". (told on a 1st date with a police officer) "I'm addicted to Luke Skywalker" (1st date with a guy who talked about Star Wars all night ) 1
iKING Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 "I was suspended from work because I beat up a civilian". (told on a 1st date with a police officer) Anger management issues. "I'm addicted to Luke Skywalker" (1st date with a guy who talked about Star Wars all night ) Obsessive. That's what I gathered.
