UGH, people frustrate me
Why are a lot of the chicks on the Starting Over board such negative nancy's? If you ask a question or for advice about starting a new relationship they immediately tell you that, because you have a question about dating/have only been officially divorced for 4 months/are not a bitter cow, that you aren't ready to date. This hasn't happened to me, but it see it happen constantly.
It's my understanding that the purpose of that board is to communicate with people going through or have been through something similar, but I'm terrified to ask a question or make a comment because they might tell me that I'm not capable of having a serious relationship because my divorce has only been final for 14 months. Meanwhile, I just found out that my XH is getting married.
Sorry, needed to vent before I explode over there. This really makes me like my Houston board so much more. Y'all are all really nice (most of the time)! 
Re: UGH, people frustrate me
Some people are just bitter and snarky & have to let everyone know. I get this a lot on the TTC boards, so I just lurk and never ask questions.
I cannot imagine how hard it must be to begin dating again, and even if we arent all in that situation some of us might be able to give you advice. Even though this isnt "that type" of board. Youre always welcome over here. :-)
Ditto
I've learned there are definitely some boards that are like shark infested waters and I stay away from them!
LOL at myself. I read the title as "UGLY people frustrate me."
As for the cows on the Starting Over board. Bitter people want everyone else to be bitter too. They aren't there for support, they are there to tell you what to do and make themselves feel better. There may be some helpful, supportive people on there, but the bitter people drive them away. At least that is what I have seen from some of the other boards I have lurked on.
Stay here where it is usually safe. We haven't had any trolls, AEs, or mud for a while. Hmmmm.
