I think relationships are dumb.

That definitely justifies it, but you lost me at strawberry jelly.

Don't experience the emotion of jealousy.

A concept that might conceivably be abbreviated.

Like, reducing the length of a word.

for instance, going from the seven letters inherent in 'jealous' to something two letters shorter

and proceeding from that to a pun involving humour, berries and their preserves

...i am condescending to you as gently as is humanly possible-------please pm me if you need me to blonk you on the head and explain it to you with a pop-up book or somethin

The OP says that relationships turn out to be a lot of work, and no fun. What did you expect, it is not supposed to be fun. Life is not fun. This is just another chore you are expected to do. Now go out there and fulfill your biological imperative. Provide your family with many descendants.

I personally think relationships are a waste of time too. The reason for this is that most people stake everything, their own self worth included, on a relationship, only to have it fail, then they try again with the same false view, and repeatedly fail until they become bitter enough to stop trying. Some people even go so far as to expect every shallow and pointless attraction to mean something in the long term. People that go into a relationship for fun are just as deluded in my view. Fun is not something two people can really agree on. Nor is it a good goal to serve as the basis for something. Fun should be the result, if anything, not the point. All fun means is that when things start getting routine, the whole thing comes apart at the seams, then they just go looking elsewhere for fun.

Eh I had a girlfriend for a while and yeah it was a lot of work but you're clearly missing so many of the benefits of being in a relationship that works. Sure it might be hard to find or hard to maintain but it was worth it

Up until she told me she never loved me and cheated on me multiple times but hey that has nothing to do with the relationship and that was just her being a gigantic *****.

I guess the biggest point is that the relationships you've been in haven't been fulfilling because you need to fit a certain role in the relationship to be happy with it (totally normal by the way) and you haven't met a person that does that for you.[DOUBLEPOST=1401116990,1401116912][/DOUBLEPOST]Also fun is absolutely something two people can agree on. Otherwise anything multiplayer wouldn't exist because people can't have fun with each other at all

i cannot advocate simply being an eagle enough, by the way

living on mountaintops, stooping on prey, giving mighty eagle-cries of eaglery

eagles are so dang rad

like...go be an eagle already, is basically what im sayin

holy sh*t!!! you're lucky-----most people only get this view of an eagle when it's eating their filthy guts out, or maybe teabaggin them

Softguitar · #46

Although eagles are solitary birds, I think they build relationships with other eagles too...

#47

You're goddamn right they do!!

Here we see a group of eagles doing what a group of eagles does best----namely, f*ckin being a group of eagles. This is, in fact, the best thing a group of any animals could do. It is here, one could argue, that eagles have an extreme natural advantage.

Uh...it's like you've got the end result in mind, and that's a good start, but you need to think about the steps you're going to take to get there.

^^ Generally you find a person who you would like to procreate with. I don't have a document detailing the whole thing but I'm not sure I need to.

#52

I'd be more fond in finding a person to be good friends with

shame that if it's a male that kinda makes procreating impossible

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · #53

Who is to say you can't have friends? Male and females can both be your friends, and you can procreate with a female one. I'm not suggesting that women can't be friends, just baby-machines, if anyone is getting that into their heads.

Not like I am anti-fun. I am just against immaturity. If it was all just for fun from the start, then it will collapse when the first phase is done.

I am hardly talking about my own experience. I have only ever dated one person seriously. The other 2 really don't count to me. And that has been a few years. I have not went on any sort of casual outing with anyone outside my immediate family-group for years. No friends, no dates. However, I do see other people constantly struggling while playing this game. It never works.

What about gay people?

#57

^What about them?

IRHP is specifically referring to his own hopes to procreate with a lady in this instance. Gays aren't germane to the discussion, here. (Unless IRHP is a gay man who wants to have children. Which...you know. Possible, I guess, but I wouldn't bet on it.)

Softguitar · #58

Well, he said "generally" and "you". So not really talking about himself? I'm confused.

I'm sure you already know about the birds and the bees, but two people of the same gender cannot procreate together.

^^ Exactly. But I would make an exception for you, Boobaby. :awesome:

^ I was talking about myself, but as the conversation went on, I simply mentioned what people generally do.

I have been thinking, I really need to find one of these relationship things, quickly. When I look at the fact, as I said before, that I have no real contact with people outside my family(and whoever I have to deal with in non casual situations), it just reminds me of how much that sucks. Having to endure my family is even worse than being in a relationship. Makes me want to get married just as an excuse to ignore them.
