Bollocks. Then why have I had nothing but bad luck?
Don't think that just because you've not had the best of luck all the time, that that's how it is for everyone.
Now, are you referring to romantic relationships or friendships? I hate how some people think that somehow it's supposed to be easier to find a mate through an online medium because the potential pool of applicants is larger.
IME, it is
more difficult because you have to weed through way more chaff than if it were purely real-life face-to-face. Online profiles give people more opportunity to be deceitful, because they can play at being something other than who they are with relative ease.

I defy you too.
I have a close-knit group of women friends whom I met years ago on a parenting message boards. We try to get together for a girlfriends getaway every year, though sometimes we can't swing it. We still talk almost daily.
They stood by me through some of the darkest times of my life.
Oh aren't you the lucky one? fresia people like me who are hated by everyone, even on the internet, aye?
I beg your pardon?! I didn't attack you at all in my post. Where did I say "fresia you" or "fresia anyone?"
I actually amended my next post to you, but I'll put in what I took out. In response to your quote::
"Bollocks. Then why have I had nothing but bad luck?"
Judging from the tone of your belligerent posts here, perhaps it's
your attitude.
You're just spoiling for a fight with someone, aren't you?
