Is it just me or does this phrase do your head in? I see it on here and on face ache and often question myself is it really their loss....

I agree, and it's often used when people are white knighting.

It's cringy.

It's a nice thing to say to reassure someone that they're not an undesirable minger. It helps many a victim of timewasters.

Said to make them feel better about themselves and to make you feel bad...

99% of the time the exact opposite is true

Makes me laugh. Their loss indeed . Usually said after someone has been very uncomplimentary about the person or people whose supposed loss it was

Does it though....how does said time waster know that it will be their loss by not meeting said person...it might be a blessing in disguise rather than a loss..

Sometimes it's true...you should all be bereft at not having met me

The person whose supposed loss it is doesn't see it as a loss because it isn't usually. Rather I meant that people say it to others to try to make them feel better. It's a flippant comment we've probably all made. I know I have when consoling friends.

No. Its really Your gain- as they have shown their true colours, and you have gained an insight into them.

not far from iceland,,,,,, tescos is nearer though :-) (near leeds)

This is where a time machine (I believe funky monkey has one as well ) comes in handy.. you can go forward see the meet , experience it and then go back and say it's your loss knowing it to be true...

It's a term used on mainly to make the person feel better that they've been rejected.

Personally I can't see how it can be 'your loss' if you don't want to meet someone ~ you've made the choice.

It's a somewhat over used term for people who get stood up or are rejected by another.

I've had it said to me by friends and is meant well.

I'm over in two weeks but not in your area.

It's on the cards though!

I said it to a friend who was turned down for a job I knew she would have been excellent at. It genuinely was their loss in that instance.

I guess it's better than saying 'phew they had a lucky escape by not meeting you, I'm sure they found a much better offer'.

The way I look at it, it's less 'their loss' and more 'my gain' if someone turns me down, as a meet with someone who doesn't really want to be with me would no doubt be crap anyway

Another one that makes me do a wry grin is "looks like you dodged a bullet". Often written after a lengthy complaint about someone's behaviour in which the bullet dodger paints themselves as an entirely reasonable and sane person who can't understand what went wrong.

I can understand you saying that in that instance because you actually know the person, but on here, people say it about those they've never met

Yes that's when it makes me do a small smile to myself

I agree if I knew the person etc then yes sometimes their loss applies but not to complete strangers.

As with all expressions of this nature they lose impact with overuse.

Ahh I don't like that phrase either and whenever I've posted about a guy that's bombed me out I always start my moan with saying "don't say it's their loss!" It's my loss and I want to feel shit for a minute and wallow!
