That might be a sign of the apocolypse....

But you have to agree that there is a percent, albeit very small percent, of people who really love each other and are blissfully happy together.

I agreed with some other people today that I dont tend to agree with, it may very well be a sign...

Actually, these days over half of all married folk get divorced.


Making a relationship work involves finding someone compatible with yourself -- this means you need to have a lot of common ground as well as traits that don't irritate the other person ("odd couples" don't work in real life). Then you have to compromise on everything else, because the chances of finding a perfectly compatible match are practically nil.

Then you have to work. Love isn't something that happens, infatuation is. Love is something you build and consciously create with another person.

That's too bad, because now you're wrong.

People are social creatures. We create emotional bonds with each other because evolution has dictated that social evolution works better than biological evolution (and it does). So we form these emotional bonds, and we also crave stability in our lives, so the only logical choice is to create long-term emotional bonds with other people.

...an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, called a paradox...
Very true. We tend to emotionally lean on people, if only to fool ourselves.

yes, but that doesnt mean we need to create one all consuming emotional bond...

Have u ever heard the phrase:
"Nice guys finish last"?

Well, its a big fat lie

U see right now ur a nice guy, most girls at this age would love to go out with guys that are difrent mean sickingly evil and love to make trouble. Oh the greatness of all of it, what happens is that, they might call it love, but in the end he doesn't respect her or treat her any better. and thats how it will be.

Just like perverted boys, mean boy hungry girls one day grow up and mature and find out that in both sides we realize that in life, we just want to be loved, then people will go OMFG i remember that guy thats niceaww too bad i didn't go out with him...

by this time someone will appreciate u, and ull live happily ever after ike cinderela and the weird prince which name i do no know...

the point is
Nice guys start up last but finish up with the winning prize in life
While bad guys turn out raping people, going to jail and being raped by gay jail people.

its an interesting image, but I have yet to see evidence of its truth in my life...so I'll go along seeing myself as finishing last, its fine by me, as long as the people I care about are happy.
