What is your ideal romantic partner?

[Flaxxony]

Maybe I am. But no, they are terrible and irrelevant questions

Irrelevant to you, perhaps. Nevertheless, they can give insight on why a person feels the way they do about specific topics.

False. All it does is allow someone to say "oh, no wonder he believes that way, hes a christian white male protestant etc. Should have known." And then write off their argument as invalid

(Going to borrow your template OP I hope you don't mind)

Preferences: Female only

Asethetic traits

1) Caucasian
2) Skinny, but not bones (~135 is about normal for the average 5'6" female in the U.S. (correct me if I am wrong))
3) Light skinned (no tan or a little bit of a tan)
4) Long hair

Apparel

I really don't care as long as it is constructive (no booty shorts, revealing wear, etc). When men and women wear clothing like that (men wearing the male equivalent) it is usually used to attract the opposite sex.

Personality/other

1) INFJ - Would balance out my INTJ.
2) Loves to draw or paint. Is really "artsy."
3) Some type of college degree (not required, but preferred). Education is important and I believe that an educated person would understand the dynamics of a relationship.
4) Is into video games or at least shows an interest in them. I game a lot during my free time and that may change, but for now that is the only way that I know of to bond with someone.
5) Is willing to share emotions and/or help someone understand them.

Now I am assuming by the OP's first post that this is identifying the "perfect partner." In reality nobody is perfect, but at least I can understand where they are coming from. It is nice to dream and have confidence in meeting them one day eh?

Even in countries like Uruguay, where legality actually reduced sharply the number of abortions?

Yes, because those statistics are false.

The only thing that you're reducing at this stage is the number of legal abortions in countries which do not have a social safety net though.

We've discussed about this before. It would be grand to you and others if women chose not to have abortions, however to have such a state of affairs things need to be nearly utopian to provide women absolutely no reason to abort.

This is not the world we live in though, so your morals are not disputable, but also don't try to push it on women who have nobody else to go to or no other courses of action other than have an abortion.

You know what would probably help me find a girl?

Talking to a girl, and trying reeealllly hard not to insult views by accident

I think I found a girl, but she's 3 years younger than me and lives across the continent

I know what she looks like because we have skyped

I met her on minecraft, don't judge me

[Myrobia]

Hitting someone lightly like a slap on the hand isn't violent, it also isn't abusive. Closing your fist against your wife is an example of abuse. I think punching is unacceptable.

A slap on the hand isn't beating somebody.

According to the law it can be.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I think you're reading a bit too much into his questions. There's nothing ageist or racist about them. They're merely questions, and good ones. Age definitely influences your views on certain subjects. So does cultural background.

Thank you Nana.

Everybody's views are a result of our exposure to the world. Everybody reacts differently to things, but psychology is built entirely around it.

I really don't understand how asking what helped develop his opinion is ageist/racist.

No problem. I understood where you're coming from.

[Manisdog]

An email I wanted to share with you guys,got it from a friend, nothing can say it better


Why Motorcycles Are Better Than Women

That is absolutely disgusting. You are literally objectifying women.

I don't think so and i am just comparing the happiness given/satisfaction derived between the two things


but seriously guys, have you seen those crazy old unmarried parsi people who spend a butt load on there cars/motorcycles, I mean they are the happiest, thank god i am not a parsi, yeah they marry there sisters but yeah just see how happy they are

It's funny because you're stereotyping while attempting to discourage what you interpret as stereotyping.

The only purpose of why one would be curious about background is to caricaturize and stereotype.

[Olivaero]

The punishment depends on the severity of his violence, divorce doesn't cut it. I would ask questions and figure out why he's beating his wife, there should be no doubt in my mind that he's severely beating his wife first. If he's unreasonably, severely beating his wife then I want to see that abuser get corporally punished.

And then force his wife to take him back after he abused her for what could of been a long period of time?

I'd like an answer to this please Roosevelt. Would you make the wife take her husband back after he has beat her and taken his corporal punishment for it in order to preserve a marriage?

Minecraft love, are you 20 or over, if so I'd say keep it low key until shes 20

(I've had friend who did the over twenty but dating teen thing and it was considered weird despite the fact she was like 18 or 19)

By assuming this, you are caricaturizing right now.

Stop it with the strawman.

I very much understand what you are saying, and I am saying that you are incorrect in assuming that the only reason somebody would ask questions such as this is to label somebody as so and so type of person.

Understanding somebody's culture and ethnicity, as well as age is crucial in order to have a better understanding of their views.

Not really.

For instance me and Anglo. To him is bothering that Latin American families look their position in society as important, whereas for me is natural for me to seek to further my family position in society monetarily and in reputation so my children can have more benefits in society.

It's all a matter of perspective.

And what exactly is wrong about writing off some arguments when these are clearly born out of outdated or erroneous perceptions?

Would you listen to a teenager who argues that beating their spouse is ok? Would you listen to a senior citizen argue the same? Or would you write them off as having fucked up views?

No I am making a valid conclusion and you are just trying to pretend that wasnt what you were doing.

Now lets get on topic. I will of course let you have the last word because that is the disciplined thing to do

[T Roosevelt]

According to the law it can be.

It's ridiculous rules like those that make divorce sound like it makes any sense. A man should get to be a man. Marriage shouldn't neuter you to where you have to walk on eggshells, an actual punishment for a tap on the hand? That's not beating somebody.

No, I rp that with other people

No, I mean like.... You know... That love between a 12 year old and a 15 year old :3

[The Flood]

Yes, because those statistics are false.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're talking out of your ass and can't prove that?

It's called logic. Banning something does not increase incidence of the activity, it decreases it. That's why we have laws. A statistic that says otherwise is either fabricated or erroneous.

With some exceptions, like alcohol prohibition. Which is presumably a reverse psychology type of thing, which would certainly not occur with abortions, because that makes absolutely no sense.
