Im gonna be staying single probably forever.

[WiiklyReviews]

I had a seriously bad break up to the point that I right now think im gonna just say screw relationships... I've always been the one hurt its never the other way around. So im just gonna stay away from relationships and love cause honestly? What love there is out there? Its not actual love its all about money or sex..

[smoka-cola]

same boat.
i'm sure i'll find somebody, but for now i'm operating under the assumption that there's nobody so i can focus on just myself

You're overcomplicating things. It is about children. If you don't want children, you don't get love. If you don't get children, you'll remain single.

just no

[AustrAlien2010]

No what? I suppose you can get married, but people can also unmarry, so their love doesn't mean anything.

well have you thought about parents can also split? my parents who were married are divorced and barely talk anymore. the main component of being in a relationship is loving the other person, not having kids or getting married, I'm sure there are plenty of long lasting couples with neither children or marriage.

[AustrAlien2010]

Yes. They are your parents, that is a bond that cannot be broken. They can't unchild you, but they can unmarry. That's what I am saying.

[Grim Reaper]

yes but that's a bond between me and them, not between them anymore. besides I'm not even that close to my father.

Yes, it's an ancient religion at this point. Do as you wish, kids aren't a necessity. Perhaps if you're shallow-minded, you'd cancel a relationship just because your girl doesn't want kids. It tends to be conservatives that react in that way.

After i had 26 women all cheat on me i'm glad i found one that don't.

That's the thing with promiscuous women - they jump from one guy to another.

But if you're like that yourself, you shouldn't complain imho.

Loyalty is a good personal quality.

There are literally people who love each other and don't want children lol

Do you think people who don't want children are unable to derive happiness from the happiness of their loved one?

[Violeta]

Kids is the only thing that would make me want an opposite gender relationship. So yeah for me, it is all about kids or not.

I suppose you're right. And even if they have children, their children do not have to love them, or may not even know they're their parents.

Besides, did you know, that you have a left-, and a right brain? So, even if they say you are single, you are never single, because you will always have your other half brain.

Its just a word, really. It doesn't mean anything. In fact, they are teasing them, by calling them single. Did you ever think about that? Unless they're physically attached to someone else, they're single. Seeing it any different light is an awkward affair, because they have to inform the whole world about it, that they believe they're no longer single.

Imagine having to hold hands, all the time.

It's mostly about working things out together, and if doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out.

But yes, money and sex tend to be topics that need to be worked out rather soon in a relationship. From then on it's who's snoring and whose turn it is to clean the kitty litter that will need to be worked on.

True, money is a necessary topic because you can't live without money or sustain a relationship. and as for sex well if you are never gonna have sex why not just stay friends?

This type of post makes me wonder a bit about the kind of post-truth agendas western children must be "taught" in "school" today...

The most direct interpretation of relationships has them serve the function of creating and rising offspring. Whereas said offspring can be of either literal (babies) or figurative (quality time such as tennis in doubles or w/e) form. With the creation of a family having nothing to do with copulation in particular, and in the more or less near future probably even being a wholly asexual act. Whereas, when basing your thought on an even more hylic sentiment that doesn't believe in an afterlife or other abstractly "greater" ties between two people, then it's especially copulation which is one of the least romantic acts a couple can pursue, because it actually facilitates the replacement of the partner you supposedly love so much. Or else, if you believe in greater and more abstract love, then you probably want your union to be blessed by some divine entity, unless you're some type of gnostic or w/e.

(And then I know that at least I would never want to have a nihilist type of person, who still wants to copulate despite it merely facilitating my replacement from a nihilist point of view, as partner. Especially if this partner then doesn't actually want to create a family. Which again, in the figurative form especially, doesn't require copulation, but can be entirely platonic, although also to some degree romantic. Etc.)

Relationships are primarily for the creation of a family and the formation of deeper platonic ties. Which can be entirely asexual even between the "parents." And it's pretty sad that "school" fails this hard at conveying such basic social sentiments TBH. But "teaching" children how to blow up a condom is probably more important in today's anti-social... I mean "progressive"... times. Yikes.

And that's just off the top of my head. There's probably tons one can write about this.

People have their reasons. A relationship partner is more than just someone you sleep with. It's about companionship, and people consider different things important.

I'm not saying it isn't or that sex is the only important thing, I'm just saying that I don't think sexless relationships are good.

oh I missed this post, let's not erase asexual people even though our personal preferences don't align with theirs, they are just as valid and prove that sex is not a hard necessity in all relationships
