TET: Your thread or mine?

[Ethel mermania]

if she didnt feel the same way, getting married would be a bad thing. did he say why?

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

a good friend would. see what happens, if shes not ready she is not ready, a good relationship need two things, the right people and the right time for people. give it some time, sometimes you can stay friends and sometimes you cant. your allowed to wallow for a bit,

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.

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...

Personally, I just like being in love with people.

You're just blind Thaf

Nay. 20/60 vision

So you can see 20 ft when perfect vision can be seen from 60 ft.. You are more blind than me Sir.

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.

Now now. There's something to be said for whacking your intended over the head and dragging them back to your cave.

its how i met your mother,

[Liberonscien]

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.

I choose option 2 mostly because if I take what you are saying to be true then life loses some meaning for me and I could possibly become depressed and pessimistic. There are studies that have shown that optimistic people live longer. Therefore self preservation tells me to be an optimist even though I am usually a realist (read pessimist).

No wonder she doesn't remember. It wasn't the booze, it was a concussion.

So do I. I want to know why we feel the way we do but not if it costs us our species in the long run.

Well, metaphors aside, there is something quite primal about physical attraction that does make you want to behave somewhat caveman-like.

children who grow up without love tend to become fairly fucked up adults. i would say love is a requirement for human life, but not necessarily romantic love.

Damn you Elementary OS. Give me my grub.

a little bit of both.

Nature vs nurture. It's why we don't bash each other over the heads with rocks any more. Well, much.

human developement cycles are very long, there has to be something that keeps parents from killing their 16 year olds.

I think it is a requirement for moral life but not life. Nutrients, a safe environment, a means of reproduction, a desire to reproduce, and self preservation are the only thing that we really need. The rest are wants.
Edit: got rid of an extra letter.

You're the only one in TET who still uses an actual flag.

Also, this (current flag) is a phone wallpaper, too, because I replaced the picture of yaoi buttsex with this. ^v^

sane life, human developement is different than survival as an adult.

Someone's going to kill us all.

What are you ranting on about now?

Fireworks. They are scary.
