Why so serious?

edited October 2024 in Chit-Chat
There have been quite a few exchanges here in the forums lately that have gotten very heated. Things get ugly, name calling starts, and then the thread gets deleted. I guess my topic for discussion here is why are you letting a bunch of strangers push you to this point? some threads get all kinds of crazy with people going to defend others posts and such.
One of the things that makes me laugh out loud are the exchanges where someone throws out the "This is a weight loss site, not a dating site!"
My question is why does trying to become a more healthy person HAVE to be so serious. My thoughts are I will have much better success at doing this if I actually enjoy the personalities of people I interact with. What are your thoughts? I would really like to hear from the more serious minded folks here.

    I agree 100%


    And I also think if someone WANTS it to be a dating site, then for THEM it very well CAN be. What better place to find a like-minded significant other?

    My thought for those people is if you don't like what someone says, you don't have to continue reading the thread. Life is too short to get all wound up over this stuff.

    Sarcastic testosterone fueled postings aren't tolerated well in this estrogen soaked website.
    Let's see how long this stays posted.

    1. I agree.

    2. Why so serious?

    So raise your glass if you are wrong,
    In all the right ways,
    All my underdogs,
    We will never be never be anything but loud
    And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
    Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
    Just come on and come on and raise your glass

    I agree, this is a fun site, full of like minded people wanted to be fit and healthy. And if they don't like a specific conversation, then just don't join in! It is rather childish, but hey, you can't please everyone right?

    Because people let others get to them. If you don't like what someone is saying, ignore that post. Who cares?

    And if you happen to meet someone on here, then great for you. There's no point in people *****ing about it.
