Arguments about who has it harder in dating.

Almost any conversation about sex, weather, or politics.

Watching sports, karaoke (unless of course it's Emlion :wink: ), dancing, wine tasting, anything that involves screaming "WOOOOOOOO!!"

Being nice to a person you don't like, or as I call it "Playing the Game". Why have a conversation with someone when your constantly thinking "What an A-hole"? Don't do it unless you absolutely have to.
