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?

What wrats said! :thumbup:
Some people just seem to enjoy putting others down. It's not clever and it's very easy to do in a place like this {a website forum) Just ignore it
Actually i have to agree with him, and i think its mainly men from couples who think they know it all (well it wouldn't be the women would it :smug
and attack everything single men seem to put down, having said that i don't mean all men from couples do it b4 all you male half of couples jump on me but a fair few do
and attack everything single men seem to put down, having said that i don't mean all men from couples do it b4 all you male half of couples jump on me but a fair few do I don't think it's a couple’s thing. I think it's a forum thing. Forums are made up of opinions.
You are giving your opinion in much the same way that you seem to be criticising others for doing.
In Edit: I see your thread is called "Pretentious Couples" I don't see many threads running called "Single Men are Pointless" (Or some other insulting term.) You are also indirectly insulting the Mods by suggesting they aren't doing their job.

Interesting that it was the expression that first popped into your mind though, isn't it?
:rotflmao: (I always laugh at my own jokes)
Nothing was meant by my choice of words, I just chose something that was in line with the thread posters title. Offensive but not crude.

On a more serious note....
Offering advice - well lots of people come here asking for advice, though not all genuinely. There are those who do want advice and those who just want to use a forum post to grab attention by camouflaging a request for a shag as a request for advice... the sad thing is it is usually guys who do this.
But is there really anything wrong with giving advice? It is up to the recipient if they choose to take it or not.
Casting aspersions - as you give no example I assume you mean generally talking ill of single guy behaviour. We can all become frustrated by the behaviour of morons (and this is not exclusive to single guys on here) but the stats tell us it is more likely to be a single guy just by the sheer volume. People do vent frustrations and sometimes make knee-jerk comments... that is human nature. A large proportion of people also stereotype - it makes them feel comfortable in some way being able to anticipate the behaviour of a certain group - have you never done it? Chavs? Boy-racers? Essex girls? Sadly it is the over generalisation and stereotyping which leads to the appearance that it is on-mass brush tarring. Sometimes it is nothing more than poor phrasing i.e. "why do single guys..." instead of "why do somesingle guys...."
The truth of the matter is (IMO) there is unfortunately too many guys on here who deserve to be tarred - I say unfortunate as I do strongly believe not all single guys deserve it. It is however understandable if you have encountered a series of guys all with an IQ of 7 inch tucked away in their pants that some people's views of single guys will become slightly jaded. On balance though - there are people who do realise that not all single guys are the same and there have been threads dedicated to their praise (not very often granted).
If you feel you have been unfairly tarred, you have two choices (excuse my advice giving here):
1 - carry it around on your shoulder as a super sized potato wedge and eventually justify the brush marks.
2 - accept that there are guys who do act like morons and frustrate the hell out of some people, then show everyone that you are not one of them.

I think that your very wrong for saying that its just couples that do this. From what i can see everyone has their fair share of nit picking at some point. I dont think that couples see themselves as superior beings at all, maybe that is just the thoughts that you have in your mind. Then again that is only my opinion, likewise you have yours. Offering advice, i think thats what most people post here to get, and as for casting aspertions and being condescending, do as i do i just ignore it. You cant really get to tied up with all the things that are said in this forum. Some quotes are taken out of context, some are encoded(mean more to some than others) and some are just general statements. So all you can do is take each post with a pinch of salt and carry on to the next. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether we agree with them or not.

That did just make me think....
I forgot to mention how many single guys have posted on the forum something along the lines of... the behaviour of single guys on this site spoil it for the few good ones.
So I agree, it is not just couples - single guys are not above casting the very same aspersions.

actually it sounds like a moan.....where's the question?
ooohhh.....i hope that doesn't make me sound too pretentious for stating my opinion.
Hi wirralguy24 - :welcome: to the Cafe! It's a brave post - well done! :thumbup:
Just to clarify: I'm part of a couple - but I'm the only one who posts here - so any advice/comments/crap is all my own work and in no way reflects the opinion of Mrs C. I don't know if other couples critique each others work before submitting it but we don't.
However, I know Mrs C would agree with everything I say (and I have her permission to say so ;-) )

so do you think any do gooders and bleeding hearts are going to come out in defence for us poor couples?
Probably not.
I haven't anything against singles or couples, in general. I'm part of a couple and I've played alone (with MR FB's approval). But I'm not going to stand up and defend the ones who come in and whinge about how badly done to they are. Or defend the ones who say that couples are pretentious. Just for the sake of having another go at people on this site.

In defence of what I wrote, in my opinion it was a brave post. I was attempting to point out that posts from couples are not always written by couples.
Forum:
A public meeting or assembly for open discussion. A general discussion area for a free exchange of ideas, thoughts, and comments.
In edit: Am I missing the irony of your pretentious post?

I'm just surprised there are no pretentious singles on here
.....but i'm sure if such a thread had been started by a couple that would have been ok....considering we are suppose to be far superior! :roll:
