Overall, are we too cynical in our responses/posts re. OLD?



  • Maybe at times. But people are just being honest re. their experiences.
  • Sometimes. Perhaps we should stop being so pessimistic.
  • Absolutely yes. Who knows how many people we've driven away from this board.
  • I think we're being practical. And that's not the same as being cynical.
  • What are you talking about???

i think its only natural to be cynical on a datin board, OLD dating at that

if you think about it, you speak of your inner most thoughts regarding your experience so others can learn and you can express your experience. I mean, do you tell everything you [post on this board to friends/family IRL? I sure didn't. I did express my feelings to my friends but not the way I did on here way back when ...

Cynical thoughts are sometimes humorous IMO. Not trying to make light of anyone's experience and cynicalism - but if you think about it - aren't all the comedians who give stand up on dating giving stories in a cynical nature to make ppl laugh.
