Pretentious Couples

I rest my case. But, I'm right tho' in a way aren't I?, speaking for my hubby and I, we are dead friendly with everyone, but... because we will not conform with the 'clicks', then we can often be 'picked on' unnecessarily (ie., threatened with being booted whereby the popular ones would be laughed out etc etc, this was just one example). Life is too short for all these barnies and opinionated people don't you think? :sparring:

Do ya know what? I was going to write a serious answer about the alleged clique and how I agree withsome at times when they raise the subject but to be honest I'm grumpy fagless, tired. and since you ended your post with an emoticon that signified you were trying to provoke people all I have to say is.........................
If ya don't like the forum don't fookin post in it lol

Ooops, I thought that was a 'barny' emoticon for the life is too short to have rows bit... maybe I'm not very good at this posting malarkydont think any ones saying you aint good at posting bit,it is a forum to say what you think ,but there will be people who dont agree with others so sit back and a think what they are saying ,mind you a lot of people in chat dont even get in here so dont really get known so end up in chat not joining in so wont be known ,so its good to do both things jaymar it opens up a new world being in both,you will find let are a lot of meets munchs and a lot of socials,there was a few in north east recently if you keep looking ,we in here like a few in north east chat like to come in for a natter a bit piss take ,ie the other day we were all chatting about something or nowt and a single male came back with" ffs is this a swing ing site or a chatroom" thats the sort of people we cant be arsed with if you get our drift , any keep posting and you will get known. :lol:
I know, my trouble is what I want to say in my head doesn't always come out in my fingers lol

i have just gone through your posts and cannot find any evidence of this happening,you seem to have joined in without any kind of trouble,apart from this thread where you were agreeing with the original poster....but again i couldn't find any proof of this happening to you in these forums....
ARRRRRGH!.... I know I know.... I meant the chatrooms!!!!!.... I'm new to posting in forum!
What a day! :cry:

Sorry Frecklebird, I think we are at crossed purposes here. I was actually agreeing with you not disagreeing with you. My initial reply was to support WirralGuy in that (in our experience of the chatroom and not the forum) people can come across pretentious. I agreed but you are right I don't know much about the forum I've only just started posting (hence your acknowledgment of my small amount of posts), I have always been to quiet to post before. Was Wirral actually only talking about the Forum people? Are these two seperate things, I'm completely lost now, but in any event there was nothing toward you whatsoever. As for the threatened to be booted, I was talking in relevance to a server chatroom where I was constantly being told off for swearing (when I wasn't) but that's not really important here.

is the forums anymore more pretentious than the chatrooms.... nah, don't think so, the only thing that is different is that if if we make mistakes in the chatroom people can look though ours so they stay around for a long time... whereas unless you are in the chatroom at that specific time, you will never know...
someone else called it clicky a while back..... i don't think in that sense the forums are any more clicky than the chatrooms....
but where some people would call it clicky... i would call in familuarity, remember that a lot of people here have met each other at socials and munches and clubs, and are naturally going to bounce of each other....
would you call a pub clicky if you knew no one in there and expected everyone in there to talk to you straight away.... no, you'd probably have to spend a little time getting yourself known, just like anything else.......

I have not disappeared Jaymar, I am still Here, just not been on my computer for a few hours.
Thank you for your support Jaymar.
And everybody else who has posted (whether they have agreed with what I said or not) thank you very much for your views on my first post and for taking it so seriously. We certainly have had a debate about this one!!!!
As you know this is my first post as I been watcher rather than A viewer but I have enjoyed this post and will definately be posting again.

Oops, just realised: I have not been a watcher rather than a viewer, I have been both of them.
I meant I have been a watcher rather than a writer.

Wirralguy24,
Good first post, I don't think you'll have too much trouble wondering if people will remember you on your next one..

Aye, and look at all the trouble you caused! lol ONLY JOKING!! I think I've learnt a lesson in forum posting today if nothing else. rotflmao

Really Jaymar?
What have you learnt then?

28 Oct 2006

Well just quickly read through this thread, seems to say what I already think! Yes one half of a couple here, the other half has too much sense to get involved in Forum life.
I have always said the same, people are so quick to try and put others down to glorify themselves... don't think its all bad though nor anyone picked out as such its just the way it goes.
Some do however feel the need to be accepted on here and as such will agree to just about anything....
Hey ho...
Stick to real people they are so much more fun.....

I was joking, but since how you asked....
That the forum and chatroom are not linked.
Jeez where is everyone's humour on these forum threads? No wonder more people do not post.

It is amazing sometimes how much difference one word or small phrase can make to how people read a post. Some people just never learn that and some of use have taken a long time to learn it.
You appear to be doing just fine wink

edit: bollox - I sound like a pretentious da69ve echo :shock:

Hi All,
I have been reading the forums now for a few months. What has sprung to my attention is why do a lot of the couples seems to think that they are some sort of superior beings? Offering advice, casting aspertions and being generally condescending to other people on the site (mainly single guys).
This is not a moan or a complaint from a single guy just an observation and a question?

actually it sounds like a moan.....where's the question?

The question is usually the bit in front of the ? and often begins with who, what, where, when or why. lol

He's probably asking the people who think they do it to respond. wink
