no expectations, no entering a relationship for a "purpose", just let things fuckin go the way they're supposed to go
to be fair i'd also probably be single if i hadn't met my fiancee in the last year of high school but i find that the methodology of generally eliminating one's expectations does wonders for relationships of all types
Why should you let go of your expectations? That implies settling for something substandard.Ephemeral wrote:

I'm not particularly mad, I just wish that for once I could have a conversation/debate on a forum about something (isn't that its purpose?) instead of having the people that don't agree just spamming pictures, smileys, or ridicule while ignoring the subject matter entirely. Like they're feminist at a Trump rally or something.Aurani wrote:

It's the opposite. GD is for post your x threads and circlejerking. There are no debates because debates only arise from natural conversations, of which there are basically none in GD and are all in Off-Topic. Even if there was an actual debate in GD, it would be quickly locked/deleted, because GD is more heavily moderated and mods do not allow and sort of dissension whatsoever, because osu! forums are a safe space where people shouldn't be subjected to the cyber-violence of having their opinions challenged.QuillGill wrote:

Why should you let go of your expectations? That implies settling for something substandard.it is extraordinarily hard to build meaningful expectations of something that has never actually happened before. a relationship is sort of like a chimera of two completely unique people smooshing themselves together in a way that is really quite unlike anything else ever. similarities may be drawn sure, but for the most part, you're going to be treading ground that literally nobody else in the history of mankind has ever tread before
Unfortunately the real world doesn't work like that, the relationship between genders is determined very largely by biological principles. Sure you might meet someone and fall in love, but unless the relationship is grounded in practicality it will almost always fail. A man needs to have a successful career and life in order to get a good women, and women try to get the best man they can. This is the competition and natural selection that drives the human race forward.i kind of get where you're going here with the biological principles guff but that generally isn't a conscious mediator of where a relationship goes in most people from what i've seen. if this were actually the case, humanity wouldn't have spent several thousand years rolling around in utter mediocrity. people are flagrantly irrational beings and people do all sorts of shit just because they like how it is, like flower arrangement or urethral sounding. relationships are not free from this foible, if anything they're more privy to it than other things
For example, the divorce rate is much much higher if Western countries than it was a century ago. This is because the welfare state has made it so women do not need to financially rely on men, thus marriages are not the practical and mutually beneficial thing like it was last century. And it has resulted in an epidemic in single-motherhood which leads to an extremely negative effect on their children and thus society as a whole.it's more because there's no longer a fucking HUGE religious and social stigma re: divorce, tbh. single motherhood is another kettle of fish entirely and i'm not wholly sure how it is related, tbh
That's why I have always advocated against the state and leftism, it tries to cheat nature by creating 'equality' artificially, and encourages poverty, ineptitude, and the deterioration of society.so you're a bonafide nihilo-anarchist then? i don't really know what else to say to that.

Doesn't that imply that you're the one who gives a shit about the other person?Mr Color wrote:
protip people will not give a shit about you until you make the first move
I'll just have to find someone to give a shit about first. Then I'll take your "protip" to good use.Mr Color wrote:

people do give a shit about other people and the potentially given reason for the other person to give a shit is already the first move, if there is none then it has to be madeKhelly wrote:

Doesn't this seem like a paradox? If no one gave a shit about anyone then no one ever makes the first move.
Can you see benefits to friendship then? Because there is definitely some overlap in terms of benefits you can get when you have either, a friendship or a relationship.KingKlick[01] wrote:
big thing with me is that i would just hate having only one fucking thing on my mind at all times, the one thing being the significant other. relationships in general are just stupid; i see no benefit to them.
