And I reiterate: you are in no position to tell anyone that THEY are over the line. Unlike you, I haven't had to resort to calling either you or the other dude names. (Loco?). I think both of you need to learn to take it as well as you can dish it out.
Yeah, go ahead and walk it back.. I can see you're new around here so I'm sure this heated banter is all very exciting to you. Come on, show us boys what a sassy handful you are. I'm not bored at all

I reiterate as well: you took it upon yourself to get butthurt/offended by whatever it was we were discussing. I wasn't directing anything at you, nor was I trying to.

Walk it back?? Okay, I don't know what what that means, but that's probably because, as you say, I'm new around here. I guess that means that I'm an amateur on CD and I gotta learn the ropes. BTW, why would I "call out" someone's mother? I AM a mother.

All I know is that you were making what I consider to be very rude, disrespectful, and deliberately provocative comments (have you gone back to read them at all?). I'm perfectly aware that you weren't directing them at me, since we'd never had any lovely discussions before today. But I got tired of the rudeness, and I decided to call your bluff. I get really tired of people who can't seem to have online discussions without being deliberately rude and offensive.

I admit that I was having some fun with my sarcasm, much like you were with your rhetoric. But you say you're now bored with the banter, and I've had enough, too. So, why don't we be big boys and girls and call it a day, huh?

If you're too thin-skinned for this stuff, stay out.

Thin-skinned? LOL. Okay, UrbanAdventurer. You win, I lose. I guess that's pretty clear. I couldn't argue my way out of a wet paper bag if my life depended on it.

Are we done here, now? I've gotta put my 10-year-old to bed.

But it's been a blast. Always enjoy an intelligent conversation with well-mannered people. Happy New Year to you!

Not taking away from her success, but in many major cities there are thousands of women that are on her income level and higher. In order to attract the type of guy she wants (high income...marriage minded...professional male) she is going to have to be different than every other woman these men have met. I hope she wakes up soon and makes the necessary adjustments. I love successful women like your friend. But I find that many of them are not down to earth and humble.
I'm educated like her but unlike her am not obsessed with money. For example I am more educated than my boyfriend and he is a blue collar worker for the most part. If we broke up I would be open to dating mechanics for example or other blue collars. She wouldn't be, they all have to be upper income white collar professionals However there aren't all that many white collar professional men who are single and willing to marry. Many are content being single or don't plan to marry because of fear the wife will take their money. Others are but only want much younger women aka trophy wives.

Blue collar gets so much hate these days doesn't it? Actually more like disdain. Dry panties. That's even worse. Hate I can work with.

Blue Collar really does get hate which I don't get. I understand her not wanting to date a fast food worker but that's different than say a mechanic.

Don't be asinine. There are tons of blue collar workers that make the low 6 digits.

LOL, no doubt, some of the tradesmen do better than a lot of college degreed types....... not all do, just sayin....

Specially if you got some bs generic "Business Admin" or something else that doesn't draw a big salary type of degree, no offense......

Instead finding "someone to settle down with" you should open your heart to find someone to be madly in love with
