Your Whining is Killing Me

Seriously people, your whining is killing me. Or, at the very least, causing my soul to wither away. And it's not any one person in particular, it's a handful of you who keep coming at me with the same two identical complaints:
  • I'm such a catch, why doesn't anyone want me?
  • I'm so out of shape, but exercise is so hard.

I have three words for you: SUCK IT UP! I'm so sick of your whining for the sake of whining. It's not like you're complaining and hoping for constructive criticism. You're just whining for the sake of whining, with no intention of doing anything about anything.

If you wanted something badly enough, you'd go out and get it. Think about it. If your boss came to you and said "You have six months to get a boy/girlfriend, and you'd better exercise three times a week or I'll fire your ass" I'm sure 99% of you whiners would shape up pretty quickly (or sue your boss for being totally inappropriate). Because, for some sad reason, most of us are more motivated by our jobs and money than by a desire for personal fulfillment.

So if you want to bounce ideas off me for finding a mate or getting in shape, bring it on. If you're just going to come at me with the same complaints week after week, month after month, with no commitment toward progress, I really don't care. Seriously folks. I'm dying on the inside, and it's not pretty. And I'm nothing without my pretty.

  • Exercise is so hard? LOL. If it wasn't hard, everyone would have tight, toned bodies. If they're not sweating, their heart and muscles are not working hard enough to make a dent in that spare tire.

    I like how you compared getting fit to improving job performance. It should be a high priority for those who are whining.

  • Besides of improving chances of finding a mate, they'll improve their health and overall lifestyle. :)

  • I have only one guess as to who's doing the whining... probably a certain lazy kitty -T.

  • Like I said, it's the multiple whining from multiple sources that's driving me up the wall like a crazed kitty.

    I think people make the mistake of asking themselves "Can I do better?" because the answer in our narcissistic world is usually "Yes! I'm wonderful, of course I can do better. Time to move on."

    A better question to ask is "Can I be happy with this person for the rest of my life?" If the answer is no, then definitely move on. But if the answer is yes and you're ready to stop dating, what's the point in continuing to torture yourself?

  • So...does this mean I have license to brag about how in shape I am? Since it's the opposite of what is annoying you, that must mean you like it, right?

  • ChezPei is one of the most tolerant people I know. If she's ranting because of people whining, it's gotta be bad. :-)
