Do people here just want everyone to agree with them and then tell them they are right, your ex was a total freak/loser/b tch/weirdo ??
What good does that do really?
1. For example, in another thread a single mom posts about how she doesn't want divorced guys, at least college educated, boring descriptions, no crop out photos or other "poor" photos. She want's a guy with motivation and ambition, funny profiles, well taken photos, etc.
2. She then claims she is not overly picky.
3. She gets replies telling her she is too picky and needs to lower her standards or ask her what she brings to the table.
4. She gets mad at everyone.
so.....
What good does it do if she made a thread and everyone said to her, "good for you! Keep it up! Don't worry those guys are just losers."
Then she goes back to online dating and finds no one for years and years because she is still picky. Then comes online here again and makes another rant thread. Then everyone again sides with her and tells her "don't worry 45 is the new 20! You will eventually find someone!"
I guess some people like living in a Matrix/Cloud 9?
I think a lot of people do. Some people aren't really looking for advice so much as validation for their conclusions on a given matter. It's a rare person who is able to identify himself or herself as the common denominator in all his/her own problems.
I don't have that problem, of course. It's the world around me that is so screwed up!

I only made a few threads. But nothing in relationships-dating. I just vent a bit on existing threads, and offer advice.
But I am not looking for a relationship tutor lol or advice. I am already aware of the issues I have, and plan to get better.
But, some here either like trolling, or they think they want advice and want to hear certain answers, But when people get blunt, or tell them, they don't listen, because deep down, it's not the answer they wanted.
A girl I know asks for advice all the time about her sex buddy, and the issue with being such, on top of also being his side chick. People always tell her the same thing from needing more self respect, to being a *****, to being stupid. They also give reasons and back up for the claims. but she never listens. Just goes off to do as she pleases, then come back to ask more questions the next time he disrespects her.
But she's like some of those here. Maybe looking for validation/someone to kiss her ass and tell her she's innocent, hot, and put blame on the guy and his girlfriend.
So, yeah. Sadly some people ask for advice, and don't want it. They just want attention, validation, or sympathy--to be told they are great and the problem lies with everyone and everything else, as an excuse to continue doing what they always were.
Some people do come here to get support for their point of view. Some don't. Some are open to different POV's. It's a mixed bag, as far as I can tell. Like anything else.
How about the guy who posted about his "relationship" with his hooker, and expected everyone to be OK with that?
I won't say we've seen everything here, but we've seen a lot.
Oh yeah.. and you are the same person that said Elliot Rodgers posted here as well!! GADS! Did he? That really really CREEPS ME OUT because I think he was here ( before I was here) but why did you say something that I kinda of knew but is so damn painful? Because I kinda think he did as well?
I guess he had the right to post here.. but that is a really creepy feeling.
