people often say that kind of easily digestible junk, but when it comes to writing when one has enough time and space to think in more sophisticated terms such "play me with that red-head doll" behaviour is unacceptable.

Pretty much, a quick glance at someone's Facebook feed will tell you who is into drama and who is not.



Anybody who posts one pop psychology meme or Bible verse after another is a complete drama junky.



Anybody who posts about their personal ups and downs on Facebook is a complete drama junky.



Anybody who wears their hearts on their sleeves is a drama junky.



Anybody who has a constant 'Woe is me' narrative is a drama junky.



Anybody who writes Vaguebook posts is a drama junky.

The hell of it is that anyone with half-decent social antennae can determine is someone has just been hit with a couple of unfortunate events or is a complete drama junky. All you have to do is listen to them talk about their lives.

If the person has an endless series of dustups with friends, significant others, bosses, co-workers, credit card companies, auto mechanics, and God knows who else, then this is a person who is incapable of managing his or her life.

I mean, seriously. I can't remember the last time my wife and I had a serious disagreement. I can't remember the last time I had an argument with a friend or family member. I can remember having a disagreement with a client over a project, but we resolved it like adults. And if this person is telling you about these minor disasters and it's NEVER HIS/HER FAULT, then you know who is to blame for it all.

Good advice. Thanks.

"I had my fun and I'm ready to settle down" tops my list.

That's weird, because I always wanted to be the man she got together with after the fun was over. If I ever became single and in a fit of self contempt decided to try on line dating or an app I think my profile would be, in it's entirety,

"Marginally functional man looking for woman who's had her fun to join me in an exploration of tedium".

Any like minded gents feel free to swipe this.

High achieving go getter looking for a regular high mileage, sorry experienced, woman who's had her fun to join him in an exploration of finer no stress/work/sacrifice strings attached things in life. You might have a chance with this pick up line. Not even a 350 pounder wants anybody marginally functional.

This. Every guy I ever met who used these phrases verbally or in dating profiles turned out to be a drama queen himself.
