<p>World peace is an ideal thing that will never be achieved either. Does that mean we shouldn’t strive for that?</p>
<p>^^^^ ^.^ haha at Vana. I tend to agree but don’t think it diminishes the quality of the experience. Not to sound pessimistic but the majority of people do tend to marry for stability and not for romantic love reasons. There are always exceptions but research and experience has shown this to be more the rule than the exception. </p>
<p>The love/lust argument tends to be more religious and/or dogmatic . I find many similarities in the arguments from those that believe in love and those that believe in god. I also find if I even mention the skeptical argument people get really upset like I’m stealing their childhood dreams or favorite toy.
To be honest the scientific argument does present a strong case that love may be nothing more or less than a biochemical hormonal reaction with glandular activity. That does not and should not diminish the overall experience as all can admit it feels good(or painful) because acts on the body not unlike a drug does.</p>
<p>“You have gotten a lot of good advice and clearly followed none of it. Stop asking.”</p>
<p>from what i gathered, most of the advice was to join clubs and get myself out there. I did that but it hasn’t been working.</p>
<p>Your problem is that your balls have not dropped.</p>
<p>Go find yourself a lady of the night for some real life training.</p>
<p>kmazza - the majority of people are morons that will sacrifice their own interests to conform to societal norms. As for the lust/love issue, it is a passing sensation, like an erection. It comes, then goes.</p>
<p>ken - you are more than welcome to strive toward something non-existent as opposed to a state defined by the absence of an already-present activity. It will amuse me, so do it.</p>
<p>@boneh3ad</p>
<p>You are two funny by saying that. Good sense of humor something we all need.</p>
<p>
the point of the advice was to become more social. people who try to find love always fail at it…just relax</p>
<p>
Speak for yourself there, bub - I’ve been in love with my wife for more than a decade, and it has not “went”. My love and my decision to marry her had nothing to do with social norms, and I did not “sacrifice my own interests” - yes, I gave up the ability to sleep with lots of different women (something not all married couples sacrifice), but I got what I felt and feel is much more in return.</p>
<p>You are not in love and are therefore extrapolating that love is fiction… that’s not the way it works. Sorry.</p>
<p>
And it may never work. Sorry, but one of the first things to acknowledge is that some people never find anyone. It happens.</p>
<p>Try not to panic, try to have fun - most women are not interested in unhappy guys desperate for a relationship. Putting yourself in a “terget-rich environment” doesn’t help if you come across as desperate and miserable. In my admittedly male experience, most women are interested in guys who are happy and fun to be around - are you projecting that?</p>
<p>oh shi*t.
He’s a ■■■■■.

<p>I felt so stupid after commenting on this ■■■■■ thread. I just fed a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>I don’t think he is a ■■■■■. I think he is just clueless.</p>
<p>does it matter? there are too many people out there with this kind of attitude…they need to chillax lol</p>
<p>I went back and read some of the OPs previous posts. I don’t think he is a ■■■■■…just lonely and probably inept around women. It happens. The good news is that “supposedly” there is a lid for every pot. Hopefully he’ll find his sooner rather than later.</p>
<p>OR maybe he will be like two of my friends, who never found the right girl. One became a Jesuit priest, the other is the worship leader at our church. They’re both happy, though!</p>
<p>LOL I read them too.</p>
<p>I said that because of what MaineLonghorn said</p>
<p>
Man. I have girl problem too. I wished I knew how to get her to like me (at least talk to each other again). <em>FACE PALM</em></p>
<p>^ Whip out a TI-108 and start off the conversation with a nice ol’ 01134.</p>
<p>^Ha, that should do the trick!</p>
<p>Just don’t accidentally type in 7734206… she wouldn’t like you anymore then.</p>
<p>I give up, dude. [Maybe</a> this will help.](<a href=“Top 10 Mail Order Brides Sites 2023 - Reviews, Costs & Features”>http://mail-order-brides-websites.no1reviews.com/)</p>
<p>LMAO
I guess we can put those in the engineering jokes thread.</p>
