She's not ready for a committed relationship, I think, even though she's got a couple of years before that deadline is reached.

But even from our breakup talk, I think she still sees me as someone she wants to marry. I mean, who listens to someone's random story about some stupid cat dissection final in high school, and talks them through the story when they pause to lament the breakup?

Much sadness. Very tears. QQ

Meh. I fail to see humans' reason behind obsessing over romantic relationships. When an animal does something and it hurts they learn not to do the same thing again. Humans on the other hand... Their actions are scientifically illogical. This race is an enigma.

They're not going to waste their time and energy on one insignificant human being who's feeling sorry for themself. The world ain't out to get you; you're just paranoid.

Simple, really. Love feels good. Sex feels good. Security feels good.

The potential gains outweigh the negatives. Quite scientifically sound.

I think the reason behind the obsession is that romantic relationships ended with reproduction for most of our history. Our main goal as a species is to survive and that means reproducing. One could argue that everything we do is help continue the continuation of our species. And now I run of steam...

Only because our base evolutionary behaviours once had very specific purposes does not make then any less meaningful now that we have culture and civilisation. I think if you break down everything to biological instinct, life becomes a little boring.

If I fancy someone, it's just that. I try not to dwell on cognitive impulses to spread my genetics far and wide. My prefrontal cortex is more than capable of making decisions beyond base instincts.

yeah, some people are unsympatthetic assholes, go fikgure.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

yeah, some people are unsympatthetic assholes, go fikgure.

I am not unsympathetic. Just speaking my mind. Humanity's actions directly contradict much of logic. I am simply suggesting that romance not be considered important at the time; if you find that person, great. If you don't, don't feel bad; love is not a requirement of life.

Or maybe I'm just a bitter cynic. Take your pick.
