Disillusioned Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Today's singles are a bunch of schizos, at least here in the Benighted States. We like to play games, yet we don't like to play games. We want to meet someone, but we don't want to meet someone. We want relationships, but the last thing we want are relationships. We want free and easy sex, but not too free and easy. And one ironclad rule is that we NEVER, EVER should tell it like it is. I'm sick of it. I'm going to tell it like it is right here: THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS LOVE, OK??? Love is a sick illusion God put into my head. There, I said it. Damn that felt good...
LeaningIntoTheMuse Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I believe love exists, but some people were never meant to have it.
collegeguy_24 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I believe love exists, but some people were never meant to have it. Exactly. Sometimes I feel the same way. Oh, I'm also not stalking you, you've just made some interesting points this evening lol
Mrlonelyone Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Love exist. The problem is too many people only get to experience lust and the novelty of meeting someone new and confuse that with love. Real love is what happens when the novelty and initial buzz wear off.... and you still want to be around the person. Most never realize this and never experience it even once. They go from honeymoon to honeymoon ever experiencing actual love...while those that don't even get the honeymoon end up coveting something that isn't real anyway. Real love exist, however like so much in our push button instant gratification society few have the patience for it.
PratyekaYana Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Today's singles are a bunch of schizos, at least here in the Benighted States. Agreed. It's the ongoing war between what one truly and personally desires and what desires have been foisted upon one by outside influences. For example... We like to play games, yet we don't like to play games. We don't like to play games, but the current "model" of dating success dictates that we must play games in order to command the interest of our partners, to be on a level playing field (the assumption being that everyone else plays games), and to generate as much drama as possible to make the relationship worthwhile. Nevermind what we genuinely desire of our significant others. We want to meet someone, but we don't want to meet someone. We desire companionship and the opportunity to create it, but we are told that to acknowledge that yearning is a form of weakness. Also, the act of seeking that companionship, as opposed to allowing it to effortlessly burst into reality (like in fictional works), is thought to be just as bad. Nevermind that pursuing our oh so special other is, by our own estimation, nothing of which to be ashamed. We want relationships, but the last thing we want are relationships. We want the experience of the relationship without the complicated labels that imply a greater commitment than that with which we are comfortable. I'm not saying that I subscribe to the belief that a relationship that is named as such automatically bears a greater devotion than the unnamed counterpart, but, socially speaking, labels are frightening which is why we are taught to avoid them unless it becomes impossible to avoid. We want free and easy sex, but not too free and easy. Gender roles and antiquated notions of sexual propriety prevent us from developing healthy sexual relationships. Casual sex is fine, but too much gives the scarlet letter to one or more parties. Meanwhile, what do we really think about the so called sluts, tramps, man-whores, etc.? What are our true thoughts on sex? And one ironclad rule is that we NEVER, EVER should tell it like it is.[/quote[ Agreed. I'm sick of it. I'm going to tell it like it is right here: THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS LOVE, OK??? Love is a sick illusion God put into my head. There, I said it. I disagree. Love is rare, love is difficult to cultivate, but it's our birthright in my honest opinion. Damn that felt good...
sagetalk Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Here's a few more: We love to sit at home and do nothing, but party like a rock star! We are shy and quiet, except we love to get crazy and rowdy! We like people who are kind and caring, but no pansies please because those wussies are losers. We are mostly home bodies that love to travel the world. We don't want people to buy us with money, but take me somewhere that's cheap and it's over. We just want to be friends first, but if that date doesn't make a move then they are gay and dumped. We hate when someone doesn't have much to say, but will tell them to get lost if they say too much. We love getting a text, but text too often and it means your needy and will be dumped. We want deep meaningful relationships, but if we at aren't laughing until we cry on the first date it's over. I could go on and on and on. No wonder so many people just get drunk and make out and skip all this crap.
Jazzari Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 People don't want extremes. They want a balanced and sane relationship. Nothing wrong with that.
LeaningIntoTheMuse Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 People don't want extremes. They want a balanced and sane relationship. Nothing wrong with that. This is why you should get a dog, instead of a woman. Women and sanity do not mix.
FrostFire Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 This is why you should get a dog, instead of a woman. Women and sanity do not mix. LOL, guess what she is a woman. Oops for you as you just pretty much just told this woman off! This is quite amusing to say the least. This woman just spoke the truth and I know it's hard for some of you to accept what these women are telling us.
welikeincrowds Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I believe love exists, but some people were never meant to have it. I think one can never know what one was meant for, even after that person has died. Potential energy that remains forever potential is still energy. To that end I think your claim is unhelpful, not just philosophically (it provides no knowledge, not even the knowledge that "this is something we cannot know"), but practically ("it's okay that I not try to attain what I want because it is possible that I wasn't fated for it").
Author Disillusioned Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 That's why I'm glad I have my Realdoll. No drama, no games, no contradictions, and no obnoxious inlaws. And she'll never reject me (if an inanimate object rejects you, you've got problems).
Jazzari Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 This is why you should get a dog, instead of a woman. Women and sanity do not mix.LOL! Maybe that's why I'm a sane woman. I have 2 dogs and usually am babysitting for a few others. Seriously though, dogs are great stress relievers and help keep me balanced. And I always feel loved. Plus they are good at reading people. If one of my dogs doesn't like someone, then I would really reconsider.
Jazzari Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 You are using dogs for love you should be getting from another human being and exploiting them as people detectors then you claim you are sane. More proof dog people are a little off to put it mildly. Just because I feel loved from a pet doesn't mean I don't also feel loved by family and my SO. However, love from a pet (or child) is unconditional and somewhat different. Exploiting them? ROFL! No more than I "exploit" people here when I ask their opinion. Clearly you're a cat person.
thatone Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 lol, you cannot exploit a dog. you can kick a dog's ass one day and he'll love you the next. wait a minute, that describes a lot of women....
