It's Venus vs. Mars for Singles at Weddings (This summer, hide your bridesmaids.)
Fox News ^ | Tuesday, July 12, 2005 | Darragh Worland

NEW YORK — This summer, hide your bridesmaids.

So warns the promo for this weekend's new movie, "Wedding Crashers", which is about a couple of bachelors who show up at weddings uninvited to prey on lonely bridesmaids and especially desperate female guests.

The movie cashes in on two common stereotypes about weddings: that women hate attending nuptials alone, and that men, realizing how vulnerable weddings make single women feel, use the occasions to their advantage.

But how are true are these generalizations?

Gee, sweetie, you blew your supposed credibility, at your first post. Anyone can say anything on line and if you really are a wedding planner ( dubious claim at best ), you don't know your job.

You don't want a committed relationship, which leads to marriage, then? All you're after is a roll in the hay? And you think that that's okay?

That's hardly a Conservative view.

The "game", is supposed to be finding someone to share your life with, love, and marriage; NOT noncommittal sex.And anyone who thinks he's a "player", is nothing but a cad.

Not any more. That was another life and I was a bad cad, that much is true. I would go so far as to call it predatory, and there are a lot of guys out there that are real good at it. I'm now very happily married for 13 years to the love of my life. My wife got none of that treatment because we were friends first.

Well, that good...your being happily married for 13 years. :-)

Marrying your best friend is THE way to do it. I married my best friend and we've been happily married for 38+ years.

Go back to the couch, your bon bons and Oprah. You are really better at that than venting your bitter little dreams of being a wedding planner in the form of half ass comebacks.

Your family's wedding receptions are probably a lot more interesting than mine.

With all of the teetotalers in my family, DH and I had to save the champagne toasts for our hotel room afterwards.

Not that that was a bad thing. :-)

I don't eat bon bons, I don't spend my days on a couch, I've never watched OPRAH, and unlike you, I never claimed to be a wedding planner. OTOH, also unlike you, I actually know how to plan and run a wedding and reception correctly; though I don't have any "bitter little dreams of being a wedding planner". But you, dear, could learn a great deal about just HOW to be one, from me. ;^)

And as far as insults go, you are incompetent in trying to make any clever or valid ones.

Just saw Wedding Crashers - funniest movie I've seen in quite a while. I haven't laughed so much since Shrek 2 - I'm still laughing as I sit here typing this. Wilson and Vaughn are brilliant together. Beware of gratuitous sex, nudity, and language, but "South Park Republicans" will love it. ;)

Oh, Mr Jeeves, you should not have written that!
nopardons, aka 'the mouth', WILL NOT like hearing what you wrote!

Why ever would I care that someone with a juvenile sense of humor liked a stupid movie?

"The mouth"? Well, dear, you sit on the part of the anatomy, which most would call you. ;^)

nopardons, the TRUTH hurts doesn't it?
YOU have disparage just about everyone on this thread that DOES NOT agree with your MOUTH. Your MOUTH has done your heart's dirty work. If someone DOES NOT agree with you, YOU always manage to ATTACK them personally with some SNIDE REMARK. You really ENJOY putting people down (example: your last post just criticized Mr. Jeeves for their 'juvenile sense of humor', just because they happened to like the movie tonight). You have done this many times throughout this thread against others.
I feel sorry for your family having to live with YOU, if YOU are like this at home?
Your SNOBBISH, CONDESCENDING, KNOW-IT-ALL PERSONALITY rubs many people the wrong way, and I would guess this IS NOT the first time YOU have been told that during YOUR lifetime. And YOU probably think the other person HAS the problem? Right?
Anyway, there is no place for your kind of ATTITUDE in a forum like this.
With that being said, WHY don't YOU go take your SNOBBISH, KNOW-IT-ALL attitude with you and LEAVE Free Republic, until you CHANGE your ways? We WILL NOT MISS YOU and your MOUTH!
Well, I await your MOUTHY response again, as I'm sure it is coming, ho-hum!

If the truth hurts, you must be in a great deal of pain.

Look, there is comedy and then there is what passes for comedy. Sadly, it takes very little, nowadays, to make some think a movie or a T.V.show is "funny". And yes, this movie from what I saw of it, is the lowest of low comedy and juvenile to boot. This is my opinion of it. There'/s nothing "snide", whatsoever, about calling a spade a spade.

My family and friends love me and enjoy being with me. Sol no matter how it warms the cockles of your heart, to imagine the opposite, it's about as valid, as when Clinton claimed that he did not have sex with that woman...Monica Lewinsky, or the claims that Hillary is a " moderate".

And, though you aren't one of them, many people here enjoy my posts, like me, and are my friends. They miss me, when I am on vacation and not here. :-)

Since WHEN, exactly, did you buy Jim out and now own FR? NEVER? Then please refrain from telling me to leave. You don't like my posts? Don't read them, or perhaps, you might consider leaving FR. Just a thought, because I'm going nowhere.

Feel better now, that you've thrown your wee temper tantrum ?

Hey, if I responded to everyone who didn't like my posts, I wouldn't have time to do anything else. Some DU troll tried to get me going on another thread today, I just reported him the Admin Moderator and he got banned immediately. Life's too short to argue with the cranks!

tsk, tsk, tsk....I'd feel sorry for you, except it's all your own fault that you're so upset and delusional. ;^)

nopardons, I am sorry the truth, about how hurtful you are to others, has hurt you tonight. Your many posts you have posted thoughout this thread just reinforces that truth. Sometimes the truth does hurt! Instead of whimpering and whining about it, why don't you use it to straighten out your life? You would be a lot happier and you would get along much better with other people.

Nothing you've said, NONE OF IT, has "hurt" me at all. Made me laugh at you, yes! "Hurt" me? Only in your delusional mind. :-)

Please don't worry about me at all. My life is just fine, happy, and filled with loving family members and friends.

Projection is a problem, which can be treated. I suggest that you see someone for it; though your delusions might be a tad more problematical to fix.

Say 'mouth', aka 'nopardons', YOU have a real misguided knack for shooting off at the mouth. It is obvious you speak without thinking! If someone does not say something you agree with, or you feel the least bit slighted because what they wrote is true, then YOU counter with they are delusional, incompetent, juvenile, warped, bigoted, whatever adjective your filthy mind thinks of first. RIGHT?
Maybe you are right, though, maybe I should not feel sorry for the miserable life you lead, talking down to other people, letting all know what kind of superior mind you have. But still, I do feel sorry because I know you are miserable inside and I feel sorry for your family. Excuse me!
Anyway, again, I await your 'mouthy' response which I know YOU cannot suppress. Maybe I can help you with some demeaning adjectives to use, when you run out? Take your best shot.

Miss Cleo, is that you, or are you just a LIBERAL DEM, who imagines that if they say something again and again and again, that makes it so ?

Look, sweetums, wallow in pseudo sympathy, imagine THE very worst of the worst, which you are delusionally thinking that I am mired in. What you post and think, won't make it so. But you're certainly making me laugh, out loud, at you. :-)
