Got a crappy parking ticket, lost your wallet, whatever\u2026 \u00a0And you just want to vent to get that crap off of your chest.<\/p>\n<p>The constant complainer is different as he\/she likes to complain about whatever topic is within his or her grasp.\u00a0 If she can think of it, she\u2019ll complain about it.<\/p>\n<p>Case and Point: An acquaintance of mine, friend of a friend, is one such type.\u00a0 Nice guy, by all accounts and cool to hang out with\u2026. For about 2 hours.\u00a0 After that, you pretty much feel your energy has been sucked out of you.<\/p>\n<p>What does he have to complain about?\u00a0 Nothing legitimate.\u00a0 Healthy guy with healthy family, he has a successful business, owns property and has his toys (cars, bikes, etc). He us doing well by all accounts. You can better bet he\u2019ll complain about everything under the sun, and then some.\u00a0 It\u2019ll never stop.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically enough, his wife is very similar to him.\u00a0 So, in some cosmic way, the universe makes sense.\u00a0 The two of them somehow get along.\u00a0 Good for them!<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the point? This personality trait is not limited to any specific gender. For some of these people, it\u2019s just a way to relate to others.\u00a0 Maybe they never learned to relate to other human beings socially outside of complaining.\u00a0 In a way, it\u2019s a method for them to gain rapport.\u00a0 For others, it\u2019s how they draw attention to themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>OK, enough pseudo-scientific psychological mumbo jumbo!\u00a0 What does that it all mean?<\/p>\n<p>Simply put: AVOID this type in Dating!\u00a0 That\u2019s sort of the point of this article.<\/p>\n<p>The incessant complainer is not someone you can happily date, (exception being if you\u2019re one yourself as noted in example above.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First Date Scenario:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So you\u2019re on a first date with girl you\u2019ve recently met.\u00a0 (or maybe you\u2019re a girl dating a guy, for the 5 girls in the planet who read this blog.)\u00a0 You\u2019re having dialogue, it\u2019s going OK, and then you\u2019ll notice that it starts.<\/p>\n<p>You can quickly identify the constant complainer by the end of the first date.\u00a0 By the time, you hear the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> complaint, you pretty much will have been tipped off that this is someone you don\u2019t want to go on a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> date with.<\/p>\n<p>Again, barring legitimate vents about a particular issue, you\u2019ll discover that the complainer will literally find issues to bitch about.\u00a0 You can try to inject a bit of fun into the conversation, but quickly they\u2019ll bring it back to a complaint of some sort. When this happens, you ought to cut your losses short.<\/p>\n<p>WAIT!\u00a0 What if YOU are a constant complainer?\u00a0 What if you just read this and thought,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOh shit, I just realized how much I do that!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, consider it an epiphany, courtesy of me, free of charge!\u00a0 Work on eradicating this bad habit.\u00a0 You picked it up somewhere along the way, and it stuck.\u00a0 Just like smoking cigarettes or eating donuts at breakfast, it\u2019s a habit!\u00a0 Habits can be changed.\u00a0 If you choose to go forward with this habit, you\u2019re going to drive away quality potential mates.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the random complains come in a wide variety of topics. In the extreme, it takes the ugly form of complains that demean another human being based on superficial values.\u00a0 You may be at a party and you hear: <em>He took me to a 3-star restaurant. Can you believe that?\u00a0 I don\u2019t eat less in less than 3 star restaurants.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find that this personality type also will find fault where others do not.\u00a0 In a restaurant, the food could be: Too hot, too cold, arrived too late, arrived too early, was better last time, was cheaper another time, not as good as another time, and it never stops.<\/p>\n<p>These are non-hostile random complaints.\u00a0 You can\u2019t even sympathize with the constant complainer.\u00a0 If you\u2019re living in Cleveland and are livid with the way Lebron James handled himself this past summer, we get it!\u00a0 You\u2019re pissed off, and we can empathize.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s directed hostility towards a certain issue person.<\/p>\n<p>The incessant complainer doesn\u2019t even have focused complaints. They just arrive from every angle.\u00a0 The weird thing is that sometime these are really nice people.\u00a0 In the aforementioned of my acquaintance, I can honestly say the guy is a nice guy and he\u2019d even help you out in some spots.\u00a0 You just can\u2019t spend more than 2 hours with him.<\/p>\n<p>Energy vampires.\u00a0 That\u2019s what the incessant complainers basically are.\u00a0 You\u2019ll feel drained and may not even realize why.\u00a0 This is a toxic personality trait.\u00a0 If you\u2019re on a date and notice this pattern, you probably should reconsider pursuing that relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the next article where I\u2019ll discuss another toxic trait\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.attractwomenanywhere.com\/ebook.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Building Attraction Secrets Ebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toxic Personalities: The Incessant complainer .
