No, he spends a lot of time in the bathroom with his porno collection...

Now this must have come as a great shock to her, she was sure she was going to have the "the perfect marriage."


She "doesn't believe in divorce" and is just going to endure it.


It just goes to show you, things aren't always as they appear or what they are cracked up to be.


Thx
It wouldn't be divorce. It would be annulled.

Let's examine the only foreseeable pathway as of right now. Suppose 50 enter a graduate program. Let's also assume I am not befriending anyone after the term is over (statistically that is what is going to happen with near certainty). Meaning if I don't hook up then, I never will from anyone of that pack.

That leaves us with me finding my long lost love 1 in 50=2% procent chance.

After I leave graduation, go unemployed for probably a long time, likely even lower.

I have stopped believing it realistically, for real. Just wondering if my thoughts are warrented after 30 years of this trend.

Both sexes are equally flawed in their own way. Girls and women have almost always treated me well in person.
Are you bi-curious?

After reading everything so far, my impression of you is that you are not someone others would care to be around either as a co worker, friend, or romantic partner. You sound like a snob yourself, actually. Your responses here (for example #56) make you sound like a condescending smart aleck.

Again, there is no end of those people in relationships.

Thanks for giving me an outlet. More replies here than in my life for 30 years.

Count your blessings if you have a partner who cares for you. I really mean that. I envy you people. You don't want to be me.

I'm in my 60s and don't bother to keep up with trends,
so I'm curious: are these dating apps all there is nowadays??

I certainly hope not!

Keep in mind: humans have been meeting, falling in love, arguing, breaking up,
reuniting, having second thoughts, moving on, etc. etc. throughout history,
without ever needing smart phones.

My father does not believe in the concept at all. He does not think we were meant for it. There is a period of excitation, degradation, and ultimately irreconcilability.

I want to prove him wrong.
