    Love your posts. Witty and intelligent, with dash of sarcasm. Thanks for helping me keep my sanity at my own desk!

    Wow people that was a little much. The OP just posted that this site is for weightloss and motivation and some people are cruising for dates. While it's their business, it's a little surprising for a person new to this forum. I hate when people say someone is bitter/fat/ugly/loser for having a different opinion than the majority, it's silly and this topic is really not worth all that seriousness...

    What in the world? People use this to find dates? Heck.....I'm trying to lose weight with support....not find someone to stress me the hell out and trigger my emotional eating.... Geez! Get your priorities right. Wow!

    just stay out of the chit chat board and get over yourself. it's possible to kick *kitten* and achieve your goals while having some fun too. pull the stick out of your butt.

    Aside from the OP, didn't really see people insulting her, but I didn't read all the pages...most, but not all

    And there did any one call her fat? Are you exaggerating my pissy comment?

    While I admit that I was saying the OP was bitter...if not bitter, wasn't she a little "off her rocker"?
    People come to this site for encouragement, friendship, and advice. But she seemed in attack mode to me, just my opinion....no hate here

    Uh oh. My wife and I met on an website that was about a common interest we had, not about dating. I guess we should get divorced and get rid of our kids because it was just all so horribly horribly wrong to meet outside the context of a dating site.

    I saw "bitter." I didn't see any of those other words, not even implied.

    And I think bitter is pretty accurate under the circumstances. If she's not, she's good at pretending.

    @ Joy, I didn't even notice your comment. I was speaking in general terms...No one called her ugly either(she was however called bitter) My point was I dislike when people use personal attacks because they don't like someone's opinion. Again I agree no negativity is needed here.

    Truth be told, the OP baited people with the post then proceeded to encourage negative responses with her replies.

    I don't like when people disagree and are automatically accused of bullying because they disagree. I see that as a personal attack as well.

    But that's the Internet, not to mention a public forum.

    If this is harsh, don't ever venture into other forums...like for gamers. Ever.

    yep!

    her disapproval/contempt was thinly veiled in the OP and came out more prominently each time she replied.

    Exactly.

    Plus, I'm pretty sure the OP got the response she was looking for.

    Where do people do this? I've honestly never seen any posts that do this. Maybe i'm just not looking in the right places...

    For real. I've been here for three years and I've seen plenty of people complain about it, but I've never actually seen it.

    Probably talking about those date/bang threads or/and the flirting in posts (which most is really friends joking around)

    What the hell was all that about?!

    I'm thinking someone went on one of the Bang, Pass, etc threads and too many people Passed on her. Or perhaps some dude flirted with her and she started making wedding plans. Then saw him flirting with someone else, and now his pet rabbit is boiling in a pot on his stove. I am sure she will be back. Look for the first anonymous new profile that posts on here with the same complaint.

    Ahhh, what a way to wake up on a Friday morning. I need more coffee.

    This made me laugh far more than it should have done :laugh:

    Angry much? What do you care why people use this site? Focus on yourself then, and don't worry about what other people do. THAT should be YOUR priority.

    People find love at grocery stores, book stores, church, museums, bars, playgrounds, high school reunions, bowling alleys and soccer practice. BUT if anyone finds someone they are remotely interested in on MFP they should immediately shut down those feelings because this is a FITNESS site darnit!!!

    Just look in Chit Chat.

    By the way- it's not a personal ads place. It's a rating game...just on case I have the wrong impression lol

    Because you need positive forum feedback in order for the calorie counter to work, right?
