In that vein, I say a hilarious bumper sticker on a motorcycle last week...
"9 out of 10 women are battered, but I prefer to eat mine plain"
I know, I know, but it made me laugh and I couldn't help it
That's bc you have a sense of humor.
It's never ok to yell out of anger or frustration.
You can yell at a football game, cheering...you can yell when you win the lottery...you can yell when you see someone about to get hit by a truck...you can yell across the house (or just buy an intercom, people) to call your kids...you can yell across the yard to get your dog's attention...
But yelling in anger or frustration is basically you turning back into a 3 year old who hasn't gotten his way. It's immature, it makes you look ridiculous, it kills your credibility, it's disrespectful, and it undermines any attempt at conversation.
I wouldn't date anyone who yelled at me. Or called me a name. Or ever made it a habit to be anything but polite or respectful.
Here is an example. My date recently crashed his car and was looking to buy a new one. I found one that sounded like a perfect match for him and left him a voicemail. I guess he got excited about the idea. Only those deals wont be approved unless the buyer is related to someone that works for the car company. My date claimed he had mentioned this to me before, I do not remember... I do have a friend working at that company, but he is not a relative. So when my date contacted me and found out I only have a friend there, not a relative, he got upset, claiming I do not listen to him. It is a "stupid thing", he would never make, he said. I agree with this and understand his frustration, but even so I dont understand the point of raising one's voice, yelling etc... Wasnt I just trying to help? It is not like he took a trip to the dealer and found out! Or am I being over sensitive here?
I dont know what to think. I have never dealt with anyone like that before.

Sounds like you're dating a child. For his sake, I hope you have patience.

He's only your date and he's yelling at you like this?
That does not bode well for your future. I would be careful that his yelling doesn't turn into something physical. It's not a good sign that he's acting like this.
Wow, nobody ever raises his/her voice! Only on CD!
I was actually just about to post asking if people think to raise one's voice is the same as yelling. I think during an argument it's natural to raise your voice when the other person is being thicker than the walls they use to build nuclear power plants (they can withstand a direct hit from a plane and not even budge). Whereas I see yelling as this:

You're right, there IS a difference. I certainly didn't mean anything like this example.
