Lurker / Noway 419 need serious TIP HELP
Okay so I don't but I wanted to say that I logged in at home with what I thought was my login etc.. and its one from YEARS AGo. so by day I am NO WAY419 and by night Needaname. clever huh. or ya can just call me Cindy
Totally random but I feel like there are so many entitled diptw@ts on this site (not in TIP obviously) but I feel like a really together, smart, well mannered individual.
I mean this post about money for her wedding, the posts about "I found womens undies in my bed that aren't mine..do you think he is cheating? " I mean I am in my 30s but really.. are people that naive.
Okay vent over. Feel free to post yours here.

What kills me are the women who see odd texts and naughty nuddy pictures on their SO/H/FI cell phone.... and they refuse to see that something is very rotten in Denmark and beyond.
And usually the post complaining about said pictures includes "he's a great guy and a wonderful FI/SO/H/Dad/whatever it is he is." There is nothing wonderful about a guy who is inappropriately involved with another person.
And if it isn't a phone pal, it's drinking until he's senseless. Or it's "he's a little too possessive". Or it's He's gone for hours and shuts off his phone.... Or it's He won't stand up for me; his mother/sister/brother/roommate/ex wife/ ex gf/ whatever it is comes first....
You can't tell 'em anything.
Then there are the dumb bells who marry a dead in bed mate -- turns out sex was always rotten with Mate or sex never mattered to Mate. Yet they went ahead and married this piece of dead weight. And now that the I Dos have been said, jeepers.... wow, we've got a sex problem. And they want it fixed stat.
How do you light a match under a guy who doesn't care about intimacy?
Then there are the fundies who have extreme religiosity factor into the picture -- dicey especially when the problem is one that involved intimacy. I don't see the problem being resolved any time soon, or ever.
We've got dumb doras who get pregnant, figuring a baby will save all, husbands/FIs/SOs who are perpetual middle schoolers, (they are lazy slobs and/or they can't stand up for their wives) guys who still think that the frat house is open for business (too much time with friends and usually lots of booze is involved), the 21 year old oh so wise women ("we are more mature than most 21 year olds and we've been together since junior high") and women who just will not leave because there is abuse.
And the old "We are staying together because of the kids"? Still prevalent.
Lol Tarpon. I thik you covered it all.
This is one of my favorites. "He's a great guy, BuUUUUT..."
But what? He beats you? He murdered someone? He's a liar? He what? You just never know what is going to follow that but. It all point to the same thing though-- a woman who thinks that she can't do any better or just doesn't deserve it. It's all crap.
He's master of his own domain!
Remember that one from Seinfeld? haha
And you can tell them nothing. Very sad.
