Why does every relationship question consist of one paragraph?

Asked by jrpowell (40562points) March 10th, 2009

I notice a trend. Perhaps your failure at love is related to your inability to find the return key.

My recent one wasn’t. I had lots of nifty little paragraphs. ;-P

But I know what you’re talking bout’.

Interesting observation.

we just don’t want to give some kind of long explanation that might expose our own inability to deal with something that should be private…. nope, just kidding…

I think in general the people who post those questions are pretty young and immature. Unfortunately, being young and immature can also mean being terrible at grammar and spelling, just not caring, or not realizing that how you write can play into how you are perceived.

And what eambos said.

Why doesn’t fluther format my words to fit in the box?

They are members of the conspiracy group linked to the eye drop industry. Maybe it’s time to buy stock in Vizene (or however you spell it.)

There’s a rule. I think you’ll find it in the TOS. I believe it is on page 492, Title 23, Subsection 5,

In the event that a question is about relationships, referring, but not limited to the following aspects of relations between two people: sex, love, exes, homosexuality, parents, siblings, in-laws (except Mothers-in-law, the regulations therewith found in Title 24, subsections 1 through 91), dogs, cats, animals of any kind, babies, and any other relationship between one person and anything else, the details therein shall be limited to one paragraph, irrespective of length.

I’m suprised, JohnPowell, that you would need to be reminded of this.

I think JP was just bringing the fact to the attention of those who in fact don’t notice their syntactical faux pas in the case of affinitas articulus.

@bluedoggiant: Shame on you! How could you ruin my fantasy? I so wanted to read the sections on mothers-in-law.

@daloon – so what is in the sections on mothers-in-law? I can’t find it ;-)
