Dating is at a Record Low: Another Dating Thread

I have learned not to fall in love at all.

Would you like a whetstone to be sharpen that edge?

I don't see what's edgy about this. I too have foregone relationships and love because it's not worth the time and effort.

While also spending hours upon hours ranting about how you hate that stuff despite supposedly Going Your Own Way and ignoring it.

I usually simply speak my mind and don't socially polish it at all online.

Women and men are growing very picky. As in, people have preconceived notions and stick to them. Which makes them picky about partners.

I've witnessed it myself. It's not the women's fault-never let anyone tell you that-it's how society is becoming very picky in what they accept.

We need to teach more tolerance and acceptance, in my view.

What do you mean by “picky”? Surely you should be able to date anyone you like. Also, tolerance and acceptance towards whom?

From my own experience love at first sight exists but it is weak and quickly falls apart, especially if you insist on breaking away from it.

Muscovite is correct. There are different kinds of love, of which sexual love is only one, and all of them can fall upon you very quickly. Parents seeing their children for the first time often experience profound love immediately. Hopefully very little lust, though.

Well of course I mean the context as how it is amongst strangers. My interpretation was that if you've just met someone recently, you don't know enough about them to justify any feelings of love, that is mostly Disney romance myth crapola (lies by the media). What does seem more common is for people to be attracted to others on a whim if they look good enough or carry themselves in an appealing way.

I don't like how easily people decide to have sex with eachother, but unfortunately thats the case these days. The STI problem will basically never be solved if too many people sleep around by default. The old days arguably were markedly better, when most if not all sex was directly tied to reproduction and people were stuck together in marriage out of necessity.

Pfft, your old days aren't even just mediocre compared to mine. I liked the good old days when a man took multiple women as his partners and sired children with several of them, cementing his place as the chief of the tribe.

So I just got this one girl's snapchat, and as you can guess this genuinely has me excited.

It's funny cause like two weeks ago I didn't see how I could get out of this hole

You know? At least I can see my views for the edgy shtick they are. Might wanna take off the blindfold.

Yes, we’re aware.

Guru and Cult founders still pull this move nowadays.

That's a rather interesting notion from someone that essentially says exactly the same things as I do.

I can assure you that my beliefs are entirely sincere.

That’s odd. I never said anything about sincerity. It’s almost like one can be sincerely edgy...

You never answered my questions, do you and your male friends massage eachother? Are you going shopping together?( comics, games, clothes sex toys?)

[Costa Fierro]

What do you mean by “picky”? Surely you should be able to date anyone you like.

Sure, but the chances of actually landing your ideal combination of traits and personal preferences is pretty much non-existent. The "ideal 10" doesn't exist, and therefore you have to figure out what you won't compromise on and what you might. If for example you're into blonde women, being less uptight about hair colour would improve chances of finding someone compatible.

For some reason quite a few people seem less interested in compromising and more interested in getting what they "deserve". There was a couple of articles done last year about successful 30 something women who were at the top of their corporate game but couldn't find men of equal or superior income and education, and thus instead of dating down, decided to do things like freeze eggs.

Also, tolerance and acceptance towards whom?

People for who they are. There is a perception among some that people are increasingly having to look and act a certain way in order to be successful, and not just "romantically" either.

If I can remember back to when I had friends, the answer was no. And I get the distinct impression looking back that they would have thought you were out of your mind if you suggested that.

Sincere in this context is a synonym for honesty.

That's also not necessarily true, many people fall in love very quickly.

Due to my Autism I'm known to fall in love within a day.

It really sucks.

I'm already falling in love with this one girl and I know this probably isn't wise and I should have learned from what happened with my last girlfriend but you know what they say

Here I go again

I literally can't fall in love. The smallest sign of attraction triggers some kind of resistance inside me and ultimately overrides and crushes the feeling.
I'm kinda traumatized, I guess.

The issue with me is that what I want to do is often a conflict inside me. I consciously have stated I don't want to have a serious relationship with anyone and wouldn't even mind being with like 5 different women. But at the same time, I kinda do wanna have a serious relationship with this one girl. But I remember what happened last time I had a "serious relationship." But for some reason I wanna try this again? Big think on my part

Kind of happened to me until I started suffering panic attacks and nervous breakdowns in front of that girl I loved and I had enough.

Literally the same thing happened to me. This girl I was with drove me to the point I was legit losing my sanity. The thing is I really like this one girl I work with. She's really pretty and outgoing and extroverted and she's always friendly to me, but I worry nonetheless that this is gonna go the same way as my last relationship. Love is like an apple, it starts out fresh but slowly rots at the core.

Guess it's gotta be that way. Alexa, play losing my religion by R.E.M.

I know what you mean. Honestly, I think there's not much I can do other than wish you good luck.
