all of my relationships have started with an appreciation of one another's Deeply Weird personalities and grown from there. i feel like anybody who followed this stuff would just come across as too curated to make me interested at all. maybe its because i have autism idk. do neurotypical people actually want to date someone who has their lives together and can avoid talking about bionicles for 2 hours. i had 2 beers and i feel really drunk

One of the weird things I have heard is that we typically celebrate business people who have put together a good plan and monitor all aspects of their company in a detailed, organized fashion. But if you take this same approach to something like finding a partner, it just seems weird to a lot of people. Maybe not as much anymore. What do you think of that?

People typically want to date someone 1) who can carry on a conversation about topics of shared interest, and 2) who shows they meet a minimum threshold of functioning as an adult in terms of being able to groom themselves, feed themselves, and maintain a healthy body

Well romantic love is basically a socially acceptable and widespread form of psychosis so in a bizarre way it makes sense for people to not want it to make sense the way many other things do.

I've enjoyed my relationships with both the deeply strange, and rather normal.

Everybody is different

sometimes two people both liking bread can be enough to spark romantic feelings

Been always told to be yourself, don't have expectations, if you don't get along/gel it was not meant to be, and don't date someone based on their physical appearance.

I don't know how good that advice is as woman, sex, relationships, and dating are eldritch concepts to me. I just play video games. :3

It is very good advice. Its ok to stick to your routine and its ok to try something different sometimes. Its ok to change and grow over time but its okay to stick to the same things you like if thats enough to make you happy.

Its good to listen to wisdom from others but in the end only you know what is the best way for you to live your life.

i don't really understand dating in general. it's not that i don't want companionship or intimacy, it's just that everyone is different and has different needs and communication styles, so my previous relationships were all just finding out by chance that theirs were compatible with mine in some way. but that's kind of random and has to happen organically. i don't know if there's any one size fits all advice other than "be yourself"

That only helps when "yourself" is not an asshole or a creep, though.

Second one yes, first one no. There is definitely a noninsignifcant percentage of women who like men who are assholes.

Gross, no. Reddit is an even worse forum than this one, the garbage is hardly navigable. The only time I ever go there is if I'm looking something up like for a game and Google has no other relevant results to point me towards.

Really I'm much more of a 4chan guy nornally over this place but I kinda got perma banned there and since I'm not at home it's more trouble than it's worth to evade it.

Is that possible?

I was one of the first people to beat the online Bionicle game. I remember rushing online every day to check to see if they had added a new chapter and watched as they progressed from Gali to all the others. Kopaka was the last IIRC before they added the weird RPG bit right at the end. I think it was meant to advertise the Mask of Light.

Lol this is pretty funny coming from you given that post you just made in that other topic about not immediately judging groups and being more accepting and shit. Nothing but empty feel good phrases I suppose.

Same as usual. I haven't left the room I'm in for a few days but I might need to buy some water later today. I just read and play video games and stuff, it's pretty comfy. How are you?

Im okay being hypocritical when it comes to judging pedophilia. Im against it, unlike some others

I like it when people put themselves on blast by admitting that they don't know how to follow a threaded discussion

It's like a giant "I say very little that matters" sign

Right and the attitude redditors have of being starved for attention and saying/doing whatever they can to be recognized and rewarded by their """community""" is a great side effect of that format I'm sure. Reddit is absolute trash my guy.

No it isn't
I know you're trying to be an intellectual edgelord, so I'll be one too but actually be right - romantic love is biologically designed for two compatible partners to reproduce, and for the male to stay with the female long enough to support her in raising the child.
