Okay, so I've been noticing an increase in both FMyLife (they don't have the guts to say fuck) and My Life is Average. I've noticed that MLIA is significantly better. Why?
1. Reality. MLIA has more realistic situations, ones that we can actually see happening. FML just has shit that looks like people pulled it out of their ass while the page was loading.
2. Humor. Okay, FML is actually funnier, but once again when you factor the real factor in, MLIA takes the bacon again.
3. Can be summed up by this post from MLIA:
Today, we told the teacher our favorite websites. A girl said FML and nobody laughed. I then said mine was MLIA and everybody laughed. MLIA.
Of course,this is only my opinion. I want to hear what you guys think, which one is better and why. I don't want any flak with posts like "WTF FML is way better retard" (oh wait, this is TL). But seriously though, tell me what you guys think.
I agree, MLIA is just more realistic and appeals to a bigger audience FML is quite hilarious though. Although stories from both can be fabricated but then again, all for entertainments sake huh?
While I know its not meant to be taken seriously and that people don't actually really mean anything by it, the triviality often associated with its use is really quite an underwhelming appreciation of what real difficulties can present in life.
Yeah, some of the stories on FML are just stupid pleas for attention or obviously made up. MLIA is interesting, some of the observations people make are rather humorous and almost glaringly obvious, yet I never thought of them. This is always a nice experience
Way too many Harry Potter stories on MLIA, but overall, MLIA is pretty funny. The old ones are the best though, a lot of the newer ones are starting to be just as contrived as FML.
UGH. MLIA is being ruined by retarded people that don't even know how MLIA works. Some of the stories don't even complement the MLIA at the end.
For example:
The other day, I was asking people to donate money for a charity, along with my friends. My friend went up to a British guy and asked for a donation. He seemed to not understand her. She then asked him in her best British accent and he gave her 10 dollars.MLIA
WTF IS THIS SHIT? This is a random anecdote that would do even better without the MLIA at the end. Why is this even on the site?
The general population understands how o use FML a lot better, and therefore, FML delivers more often than MLIA right now.
i try not to fuck my life too much, therefore my life is average
these are some of my favorite ones; and yeah some of them are parodies of FML:
Today, I was having sex with my girlfriend. She yelled out the name Tommy. My name is Tommy. MLIA.
Today, I received my passport in the mail. I checked the birthdate. Turns out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the correct day for 16 years. MLIA. + Show Spoiler +
Today, I received my passport in the mail. They got my birthdate wrong. Then I picked up my birth certificate that I had sent in with the application. Turns out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the wrong day for 16 years. FML
Today I realized that my daughters have bigger boobs than me. It's okay though because I'm their Dad. MLIA.
Today, I wore Axe body spray. I wasn't tackled by any women. MLIA.
Last night, I was really hot in bed, so I took one leg out of the covers. Then I got scared because it was too dark and my leg felt unprotected from somthing hiding under my bed. So I put it back under the blankets. MLIA
Today, I renamed my iPod "This ship" just for the pleasure of seeing the phrase "This ship is syncing" MLIA
Today I had rice. I'm asian. MLIA
Today, I drank Kool-Aid. A giant pitcher of juice did not break into my home. MLIA.
Today, the whole world came crashing down on me, so I got some tape and stuck the map back onto the wall. MLIA
Today, my teacher saw me texting under the desk and grabbed my phone. She didnt grab my penis. MLIA.
God, I would have rather remained in the dark about what the hell MLIA and FML meant, now it saddens me that I can read emo comments with those acronyms.

These are actually pretty witty, but they're all either takes on FML or things that have been already pointed out to be ridiculous.

how are any of them ridiculous...?!? i'm assuming you mean unbelievable or untrustworthy here... average lives are anything but ridiculous lol
MLIA was good until the 400th incarnation of "The Cedric Diggory version of Robert Pattinson is more attractive then the vampire version of Robert Pattinson, and someone agreed. MLIA"
tbh ive found a lot of the MLIA to be just as exxagerated and ridiculous as FML. The "MLIA" doesn't even make sense half the time. Atleast when the FML people are making up a farfetched story they make sense doing it.
EPT
FML is quite hilarious though.
