CommieGIR posted:As someone who has been married for nearly 8 years to his best friend: Get bent. That my friend, is the way it should be, and the point of the essay. We should get married to our best female friends, because it is they with whom we are the most compatible. Marriage is friends with benefits. Guess her boyfriend must be the best thing since sliced bread compared to someone like I. Ah well, that's OK, there's always another girl out there somewhere who isn't aromantic. I'm officially done and have defended my point about marriage. Carry on

CowOnCrack posted:Hey, I didn't know aromanticism was a thing. Can't blame a guy for trying with the woman of his dreams. I don't think you've ever actually had a real friend. Complaining about relationships? I talk with my friends a lot about that. The right thing to do is to listen, nod, agree, and give advice if warranted. If one of my guy friends was complaining about his g/f I would not take it as a signal that he's really gay and wants me instead. People are usually a lot more direct than that. In fact, if they're looking for a relationship, they'll probably not mention that they have another at all. You are terrible at handling people, and if this is what the teachings of Christianity are geared for, I'll leave you to it. There might be situations where you do want to be up front about not looking for sex, but it won't be when you just casually strike up a conversation during some activity of mutual interest. I think you have a very skewed idea of romance. If you want to find people who are looking for your dick, go to a bar, but you'll do terribly there because you sound goony as gently caress.

CowOnCrack posted:Yea, I understand. We are in agreement. She has done this to many guys in the past and admits it. I wrote her an unironic email explaining how to not lead men on and she flipped out. If it wasn't so stressful and threatening to my health and reputation it would be hilarious what a brilliant parting shot that was. I have already and will continue to laugh about what a crazy confused bitch she is. Sending her an email effectively telling her to stop being a whore is harassment. But wait a minute! CowOnCrack posted:No, I am not stalking her or contacting her. Why do you keep inventing details of this case? So which is it, did you continue to contact her directly or not?

Marriage is friends with benefits. Guess her boyfriend must be the best thing since sliced bread compared to someone like I. Funny thing: When I met my wife, she was in a relationship. She was in that relationship for a while. But I never went into the friendship expecting anything more than friendship, despite the fact that I thought she was cute. We decided to marry because we were good friends. I didn't make a creepy as gently caress off proposal or drop marriage hints during the friendship until long after we started dating, which is why I suspect you don't know how to talk to women or even have women as friends. Let alone have normal friends. You've painted yourself in this very thread as an angry, bitter, pompous MRA rear end in a top hat with fantasies about her. You have NOT made yourself out as someone special that she deserved, nor painted yourself as a very good friend. You've made god awful misogynistic remarks, sexist remarks, bitter and angry remarks I'd only expect from ex-boyfriends with a chip on their shoulder. You've spouted gender role nonsense and tried to 'council' a woman you literally dropped a marriage bomb on without any sort of preparation, beside the fact that she trusted you as a friend. She may have jilted you, but holy gently caress I think you deserved every bit of it. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Dec 22, 2014 |

This is a pretty cool thread and everything, but after all is said and done, I think i'll stick to my own silly personal spiritual beliefs, which basically amount to half-assed Buddhism, Taoism, and sometimes pantheism when i'm feeling all warm and fuzzy and looking at the stars. It basically amounts to me reading stuff about Buddhism and Taoism on the internet, saying to myself "Yeah, that makes sense, I guess", and then not doing absolutely anything about it. Like, yeah, I know all things are empty of inherent existence and everything is ephemeral and we're all connected and blah blah blah, but I don't really do anything other than watch the occassional Alan Watts youtube video and go "Yeah, we're all, like, empty. There's, like, no self." When I die, I'll simply dissolve and my constituent parts will go on to be recycled, as part of the great interconnected web of causality that is Existence. I'll cease to exist, but then again, do I REALLY exist right now? Sorry, Kyrie eleison, your thread was for naught. Good luck with your gay life, though.

anyone interested in taoism, the tao te ching is short. it comes in at only ~5000 words. taoism is probably the byob-ist world religion. http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/texts/taote-v3.html

Well holy poo poo the last six pages or so were a horrifying and cringe-worthy read. I mean I won't lie I did a lot of dumb goony poo poo when I got into my first relationship and continued after it ended but at least I have the self-awareness to realize it instead of going "That dumb BITCH" and ranting about how I was a perfect gem of a boyfriend and she just doesn't deserve me.
