Love or Logic?

[coryreply]

I tried to date based on a checklist. Most of the time, I was bored out of my mind.

So you fell in love with a woman that liked you because YOU passed the checklist.

 

Her list was short. Money was the only requirement.

 

She's a typical woman and you fell for her.

 

So having a checklist works, correct?

Good point.

 

When it came to choosing you, Robert Z, she made a 100% logical decision. You were able to pay the bill reliably, and also checked whatever other boxes she required of customers. Love was never a factor. And since she's the most amazing woman on earth, that suggests that women who make decisions of 100% logic in sexual/romantic relationships are the cream of the crop in your eyes.

 

And it's a process of logic that brought you to her. You wanted someone young, beautiful, and ready for sex on the first meeting for the right price. If she hadn't been all those things, you never would have put yourself in the position to fall in love with her.

 

As for myself, I've always followed my heart, and I'm still single. I've had excellent logical options along the way, and still do, but I feel like I'd rather struggle or even die than feign romance and sexual interest in a man just because he can provide for me financially. But I'm starting to consider this might be foolish, and maybe it is time to settle for a good logical arrangement with only the slight suggestion of love. Logically I think I would be better off, certainly far more secure and comfortable, if I did this. But my heart just can't seem to give in to a mere business arrangement.

Hm, yeah if you're waiting to get swept off your feet like in the movies, I don't think that tends to happen often.

 

 

You should at least have workable physical chemistry though... Unless you're really ready to just settle for anyone.

I believe in real love and passion but that can't be bought or sold and a long term relationship that is supposed to last through really hard times, sickness, maybe money problems, getting old and decrepit, etc needs a lot more than fairytales of Fabio or his girl counterpart and how wildly breathless they make you feel!!
