Recently a single (male) friend has been asking me for advice. I generally don’t GIVE advice, but lately, I have started. What pearls of wisdom have I given to an attractive, talented, single guy looking for a long-term relationship with Ms. RIGHT instead of whoever comes along? RUN AWAY FROM THAT WOMAN RIGHT THE $&%# NOW. And why? Because many of you single gals out there make me sad and afraid. And ANGRY.
Since when is it acceptable to: Give out your address to a perfect stranger you have exchanged 1 line of text with online? Practically rape a guy who tells you he wants to take it slow? Threaten to kill yourself if he doesn’t call you immediately after you text? Text or Facebook or call – every 5 minutes? Offer to let someone MOVE INTO YOUR HOUSE when you’ve only had a few conversations with him on the phone? Talk about how other men have “damaged you beyond repair” and how you’re “so glad to finally meet a guy who won’t do anything mean like (insert normal dating behaviour here)”? Threaten bodily harm to other people’s pets/friends/family/possessions because you’ve been told “I just don’t think we’re compatible”. Creeping people’s Facebook and sending emails to their friends asking really personal questions?
Dear whatever-god-you-believe-in, what the hell is WRONG with women? IT’S NOT LIKE HE’S HAVING SEX WITH YOU! In some of these cases, he’s never even MET you in PERSON! I cannot believe how desperate, clingy, and downright frightening you are! And it’s not like this is a one-time occurrence – he’s been single for MONTHS, and EVERY woman he’s met has done at least one of these things!
I am proud to be a strong, independent, confident woman, because I worked hard at it. Now I feel like I need to round up every single woman in the HRM and throw a motivational “love yourself because everyone is going to run away from your crazy ass until you do” seminar. —Get Some Confidence, Girls!

What’s the point of formatting a bitch if it gets posted without stuff like punctuation and easy to read paragraph spaces?
POF is a quagmire, filled with the reek of desperation.
Glad I grew up in a Halifax before Facebook, texting and cell phones. I can only imagine how ‘social media’ is fucking over teenage minds. OB, everything else you mentioned was happening 30 years ago, too. There have always been inexperienced dudes & chics learning to fly.
This is complete and utter gibberish. You must be related to Life Sucks.
so you’re saying crazy bitches be crazy, yo’
I’m guessing he’s not meeting these people at nice places like the library or his weekly canasta games….
Maybe your friend likes these kinds of women. Maybe they make his life exciting.
Meh. Meh.
Meh.
Bitches be crazy… respect that
Sounds like he’s been cruising plenty of fish..
Tell him to get out more and approach some real live women. One who looks happy.
I’ve never met one girl who was on plenty of fish that didn’t have some crazy in her.
Just to be clear, I’ve never met anyone off any dating site, a good friend of mine was all about that life for a few months a couple years back. That’s where he met the girl who eventually filed false rape charges against him when he broke up with her. He met several others off there too, all had serious issues and/or were promiscuous.
I got a funny but scary POF story that I think I’ll save for the summit.
It is my firm belief that girls on those sites are very narcissistic or just plain nuts, and the guys are creeps, about 99.7% of the time. When you think about it what girl would want to be placed on a website like an item out of a catalogue for people to look at? A crazy Narcissistic one.
Hard to find someone cool and attractive and sane these days. You’re lucky to get 2 out of 3. Tell him not to get discouraged.
“I think I’ll save for the summit.” FACK now I have to go …
Hold on Tommy, crazy isn’t ALL bad. Some people might be looking for that ‘unique’ outlook on the real world.
you gibbons will have to monkey about with me…
duty calls.
*without…
whatever.
it’s friday and my brain’s turned off.
I’ll be lucky to have enough motor function to meander onto the hell ride home.
I expect my 60″ limo to reek just that much more of musty B O.
Some of these women are people NOT using internet dating sites. Just FYI. 🙂
Just makes me almost ashamed to be a girl when I hear some of this shit.
Oh, and summit? Who do I email? I’ve been TOTALLY swamped every time there’s been one, and I’d like to get to at least ONE someday…
pretty kitty is our summit leader
Ah zed. You didn’t enjoy the smell of old urine in the morning Because I know I sure did.
I miss my heated seats in da car.
I won’t even suggest heated bus seats because, duh.
I’m going to have to find a new route too because I’m not so into bus buddies and blech a bunch of people I know take mah bus. At least if I take the 21 I know zed’ll leave me alone and not talk to me because he’s a big fat scaredy cat.
And Gidget — email me — prettykittylady@gmail.com.
w000.
And it’s not like you were actually going to come anyway, zed.
I was. and still will if I were paid more than I’d make working that day.
ya, pay me for my company?? … I didn’t think so.
I’d be more inclined to get you to pay me not to show up…
I dated this girl a few years back, she had two different names, and had two separate groups of friends who only knew her by one or the other. What a fucking wackadoo!!! Didn’t take long to punt her that’s for sure, but I asked her a few time “who are you today?” instead of “how are you today?”. Then it was over, lol.
Ugggh POF is just the worst corner of the internet. Show me someone on there that either:
1) isn’t a scum bag
2) doesn’t have an STD
3) doesn’t have permanent Dorito-stained fingers.
You can’t.
“POF is just the worst corner of the internet” Clearly you’ve never been to 4chan. 😛
I doubt every girl but you is like this.
I also bet you’re more like this than you admit.
If you had to work hard not to be a desperate, jealous, clingy freak then chances are you’re still one that hides it fairly well. Same thing.
Funny, I often find myself asking what is wrong with men. I’m a respectable girl with class and have met many guys who are looking for otherwise. It’s almost as if you can’t win.
Hopefully hes not going to the dome or POF to find these girls…
Tell him to get offline and get out into the world.
Yeah gidget I beleive it. Just cuz a lot of the crazy wingnuts are on POF doesn’t mean some of them don’t use it.
Guys do some little bitch-ass hoe-ass shit these days too. Some stuff that, I wouldn’t say makes me ashamed to be a dude, but that makes me realize some of these guys are insucure, immature, needy, clingy, overly emotional little bitches too. Everyone just seems so desperate for attention these days.
lol tell you what Donk, come to the summit, give me and PK hugs, (I’ll settle for daps) and I’ll tell you that story plus a hilarious one that happened to me this weekend that involved a trip to the ER.
How can you resist?

mfmonster… funny how you neglect to mention WHERE you met them yet are wondering yourself where OP did…
@eats_crayons:
Never said “every girl but (me) is like this”.
What I said was I have worked hard to be confident and independent, which does not mean I started as a “desperate, jealous, clingy freak”.
I have my baggage like every other person (male or female) on the planet. I’m just not so terrified of being alone for the next 5 minutes that I’ll dive into the bed/life/periphery of someone who pays me a nanosecond of attention, and I would hope more women would actually prefer to be self-sufficient than recent evidence would attest to.
And FYI – I didn’t become “non-single” until after I figured out it was perfectly OK to be single. Then all of a sudden I had a pool of potential mates to choose from, and I picked Mr. Right instead of Mr. Holy Shit He Looked At Me!!!
ah, Mr. Right…
if it’s crazy to the right you want…. it doesn’t get much more fanatical than with this guy…
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/intersec…
Honestly, I’d rather be a crazy old cat lady than spend even 5 minutes in a relationship with any of the guys I’ve met over the past 10 years.
*shudder*
And that includes ones I have and haven’t dated.
Well , someone just talked herself out of a roofie-tini on Sunday. >: (
…and if you wanted to make Vastie cry like a little girl, you’ve succeeded admirably. Hope you’re proud of yourself.

I mean guys I’ve either been into or guys who have been into me or whatevez.
SO YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH, IVAN!
LMFAO – that’s one of my faves. >; )
Halifax bitches be crazy! Quick, throw yo penis and wallet off the MacKay bridge!
I’ve taken some flak for it here in the past…but there is a lot to be said for, rental female companionship.
I know many don’t agree…but it is the worlds oldest profession & I don’t believe its going to stop any time soon.
I say that even though I’m presently in a really nice relationship… but if it ever comes to an end, the only choices available won’t have to be ‘take the chances with the nut cases at the local bar scene’ ! Neither will it be a choice of the palm sisters only either ~;)
LOL Ivan!!
Best.. lolcat.. ever
He He He >: )
Hmmph! Gee, thanks PK.

You are attached, vastie! sheesh. You know I’d be all over you if you weren’t off the market! 😉
It’s just I always seem to find the fucktards. And if I don’t find them, they find me! I just want to be left the hell alone. Is that too much to ask?
*sadface*
LOL Nawww, I’m just kidding, PK. I’m not upset. To be honest, I was thinking about you the other day, funny enough.
http://onlymissm.files.wordpress.com/2011/…
quick o.p., tell me where this super horny bitch is. i can handle her.
Feck me! – all you guys – I’m dyin’ here. >: )
So overall, people be crazy.
I am so glad that I am not involved in the dating scene. Way too much drama for my mellow ass.
i.n.f.y., nope, must be a female thing to go on and on. i try to make my point quickly, because i know most of the bitchers read fairly fast. and i am ready and able to swing, o.p.
This is all a bit hard to believe that all the women are like this. He is the common denominator here. I’ll bet if you read some of his email exchanges, he’s far from the innocent one…Trollin’ them skeezy websites, askin girls to go to their place and “watch a movie”
Mmmm Hmmm
so, no_fool, you up for a good steamy sex movie? i deliver.
Yip, there’s some fucked up women out there … but there are also some fucked up dudes out there too. I think we all have our issues … but some are definitely ridin’ the crazy train.
Some people try to force things and have no patience. Some people don’t listen to their gut and ignore the negative. Some people try to make others into what they want them to be instead of who they are. Some people expect a partner to come along and fix their problems. Some people feel they are a failure if they are not in a relationship, but never seem to figure out why their relationships – or attempts at them – fail.
Folks need to step back and enjoy life a little … as an INDIVIDUAL. Be comfortable spending time with yourself – only then should you add someone else to your life. Relax and let it come – don’t go on a search and don’t settle. Be who you are – not who you think you need to be to attract a mate. Be prepared to let it go if it doesn’t work – then take some time to reflect on why that was, before you attempt to have it again.
All my opinion, of course.
Well put, Persevere.
Even if POF existed 30 years ago, I’d twist my tits into a propeller before I’d try that unchartered water.
Am I the only one that thinks TommyJules obscure picture makes him dang hot……
what
thot this was a dating site ….
LMAO
