Aren't 1 and 2 the same?

Everyone has a blog these days and everyone has an opinion about everything - dating, marriage, child rearing, what to say to pregnant women, what not to say to adoptive parents, etc. The opinions that we agree with are great and the ones that we don't agree with are way off base. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with this - but I think we are overanalyzing EVERYTHING!

I think the "truths" about relationships are things best learned by being in relationships first hand and learning things for yourself. One person's "truths" aren't going to be true for everyone. And if you go by what other people say, you are missing the most important part of the relationship - learning about it for yourself. A relationship is between two people so each relationship is going to be specific to the two people involved. The "truths" of that relationship are the only truths that you need to worry about.

Just my opinion.

This one is easy to overcome. Stop dating "carefree" people. They're not passionate and generally very dull.
Lol don't date anyone who is really from Hawai'i lol

We as in men, yes.

Plenty of women are perfectly happy living without sex forever.

You may find it naive, but I found it much more realistic, based upon my life experiences. /shrug

I agree. It's like military buildup. It doesn't matter who threw the first stone, the world is what it is now where everyone is armed to the teeth, in anticipation for the other side to strike first. This list doesn't preclude the possibility of finding someone genuine, it's just the recognition that things have happened before you got here. People who started off as innocent individuals have had their hearts broken so now they are on guard. Some of these people have learned to behave badly because they were treated badly. Some people are born bad. You can chose to go through life with your eyes closed and perhaps you will be lucky and end up with someone nice and not get hurt. The rest of us rather be prepared.
