the 'lad' is a sub-species in which I do not approve.

You shouldn't play nutmeg rush if you aren't any good then. Easy way to get hurt.

Down to earth, kind-hearted, caring, loveable gentlemen like myself and Novo are a dying breed these days, as hard as that is to admit. The Leon's of the world are taking over.

Love you though Jenna, as always you're so sweet.

Sounds like he does it because he wants to put a front on around his other friends, though he should really just learn be himself, putting a front on is stupid.

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ****ing words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ****er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're ****ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ****ing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're ****ing dead, kiddo.

You can walk away from something and still have been treated badly previously. You can't predict how somebody is going to treat you.

[Jake.]

But you can change how someone is going to treat you

[Kazanne]

You can walk away from something and still have been treated badly previously. You can't predict how somebody is going to treat you.

Yes and it happens ,it's happened to us all most probably,but you learn from that experience for future experiences and hopefully you dont let the same thing happen again.

Amen to this.. You need a good judgement of the persons personality and character when you meet them as well, if your impressions of the person are that they arnt trustworthy or they show off in front of friends and like the female attention then it should be up to you to stop there and not go any further because the outcome probably wont be good.. Both genders do this but there's more good people than bad out there

Women who say that they can't find a good man are liars, there's plenty of good people around they just get ignored in favour of the morons that will **** up at every chance you give them.

If you keep having bad relationships then you have to stop going out with the same types of people. It's a sign of madness to repeat the same dance over and over and expect a different outcome.

Bit of an odd comment :o

[Ammi]

..I agree that it's not down to gender SH, it's down to the person...I have two sons, both of them incredible people and all of their friends are too..male and female friends that is...of course there are some idiots out there, but those are the ones that you just kind of don't bother with..let them carry on their idiocracy without you, they're very capable....

...this is one guy in your workplace and in that environment you do quite often get people trying to impress...they want to be a 'lad' to other male workmates..they want to look caring and supportive to female colleagues maybe...they're not being themselves really, but they're just trying to impress people...there are females, who do similar stuff as well..it's just that sort of environment where some people feel they have to 'look good' rather than just be themselves...it's their insecurities really, but maybe he's quite young..?...so he might not be all bad really, just a bit silly...and hopefully he'll learn it's not the way to impress people...

...it's also part of life's balance and learning that you have to experience the idiots in life, otherwise you won't recognise the great people when you meet them, because you'll have no gauge to go on...you just have to try to filter them out and the more you meet, the easier that will be, fortunately, in my experience anyway, the better ones far outweigh the idiots....

I do think people are underestimating the fact you rarely really see how much of an arsehole someone can be until you are in the relationship though.

[Lee.]

I do think people are underestimating the fact you rarely really see how much of an arsehole someone can be until you are in the relationship though.

This is true, but I do think some people are so desperate to find "the one" that they jump into bed/move in together/ make babies far too quickly. I think its important to take time and find out if you acually are compatable first. A partner has to be a best friend too.

I have to say that I've never found males to be idiots. Quite the reverse... I've always got on far better with males, but then maybe I've used good judgement on which ones to associate with. I find males - at least the ones I've known - to be quite open, straightforward and easy to get along with. Whereas women in my experience tend to be far more complicated, a lot more hard work and with a special inbuilt ability to be able to add two and two and come up with twenty two.

No offense to you but what age are you? 16/17? Believe me when I was that age I had no intentions of settling down either, the first guy I stayed with for more than a couple of months was when I was 21.

And that b/f who cheated on you, I doubt he intentionally lured you into feeling secure just so he could hurt you like that, teenagers are impulsive and don't often think through consequences or how their actions might damage other people. I don't mean that to sound patronizing, it's just I was a teenager once and it's amazing how differently you'll probably feel about things like this in a few years time

And that b/f who cheated on you, I doubt he intentionally lured you into feeling secure just so he could hurt you like that, teenagers are impulsive and don't often think through consequences or how their actions might damage other people. I don't mean that to sound patronizing, it's just I was a teenager once and it's amazing how differently you'll probably feel about things like this in a few years time

That's a really good post, Niamh.

You missed off this smilie though :pat:

Joke. That's actually a reasonable way to explain it.

I was just supporting the point that often you can't see that a relationship was bad until you are out if it, I wasn't trying to villify men more :p

Both sexes are as bad as each other.

haha, I know, it does sound really patronizing.................it's true though :laugh:

..Munchkins, when I was very young a boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend..they ended up getting married, which was the best revenge I could have got as typically they cheated on each other as well and the marriage broke up...I met the love of my life shortly after, so it was a pretty good deal all round...

..sometimes things are just meant to be and all your ex has done is reveal something about himself, which is no reflection on any other guy you may meet....

I think it's less patronising than my attempt at saying the same thing.

Lots of people think they'll be happier alone, but then they get older and grow up.

I don't really have much to say on this topic other than it's individuals, not gender, that determines someone's behaviour in regards to relationships.

One thing that really bugs me though is how men are lauded as 'legends' if they sleep around, but if a girl does the same thing they're a 'slag'. Either everyone that does it is a slag, or no one is, and I'd opt for the latter. Sexual promiscuity shouldn't be looked down upon, it's the business of nobody's but their own and so long as they aren't hurting people in the process, I honestly don't see why people care so much. Bandying about derogatory terms for people that choose to do a lot of something they enjoy is just petty if you ask me, and it's like we're living in the past. If you wouldn't do it yourself, that's fine, but don't judge other people for it because at the end of the day, it's nothing to do with you. Live and let live and all that.

Ammii, you give the best posts honestly :) and yeah hopefully i will meet a nice guy eventually, but i'm just not allowing myself to focus on that and allow it to control my life
Niamh your advice too was great, and i do agree, i am only young, and so my views will not be final yet
Jesus, well your posts are always sort of patronising so :p

Yep that pisses me off! and that annoying saying

[the truth]

Not all obviously but why do they play pathetic games and expect people not to get hurt?
