Standstill in the sense that you can no more prove you're telling the truth about your life than I can about mine. It's the Internet.Ethel mermania wrote:Though that's not the point, as much as I disagree with you politically, I want you to be happy in life
Then why are you tarnishing the credibility of your own advice by tying it to your own insinuation that picking-and-choosing about who to believe online, based on nothing more than your preconceptions, is a-ok?Ethel mermania wrote:and with your attitude towards dating, you will not be.
Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure I'd be content with mere sexual pleasure, and I doubt I'd get adequate emotional pleasure out of compromising my own beliefs to get my short-term fix of her approving glance. If I can find someone who appreciates honesty about one's beliefs, great! But if I can't, then don't underestimate my willpower.
Well my default position is to take what I am told at fave value. So when you were honest about your experience I believed you. I believe you are being sincere in the beliefs you are expressing in this thread. if you think all married men are unhappy and I am just lying about it to preserve the institution, nothing I can do about it. So if the internet is a contest of believability of some sort, you win.
I dont underestimate your willpower, I just think its sad that in this part of your life you want to apply it.
