Damn it, DoubtingThomas!! Do you ignore everything that everyone says to you?? Have you even TRIED to integrate ANYTHING that anyone here has told you?
Against everyone's better judgment, I'll try again:
I think there is a lot of evidence that "women prefer men who are somewhat older, intelligent, and ambitious. Men prefer women who are intelligent, too, but not as much."" Even if it has nothing to do with evolution.
Listen carefully: STOP LOOKING AT EVIDENCE. The only "evidence" that matters is whether you like someone as more than a friend, and whether she feels the same way about you. NO OTHER "EVIDENCE" MATTERS.
Anyway, most women are looking for men that are intelligent and funny, according to a dating coach.
STOP READING WHAT DATING COACHES HAVE TO SAY. Once more, the only dating that matters is the dating YOU YOURSELF do. What someone merely
says about it has no bearing on your, and the woman you date's, experience.
I was quoting David P. Schmitt on long term relationships.
STOP QUOTING DAVID P. SCHMITT. Guess what? DAVID P. SCHMITT DOESN'T MATTER TO EITHER YOU OR YOUR LIFE. Why? Because DAVID P. SCHMITT ISN'T YOU.
It won't be good for my health is I don't find someone.
Do you see the problem here? The problem is that you're thinking about a relationship with a woman in terms of how YOU will personally benefit. YOU'RE ENTIRELY FAILING TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND NEEDS OF THE WOMAN. Guess what? Any woman with whom you're in a relationship will count JUST AS MUCH as you. It will be JUST AS MUCH about her as it'll be about you. Your focus shouldn't be about the ways and amounts that you will benefit; YOUR FOCUS MUST BE ON HOW HAPPY YOU CAN MAKE HER, and HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE HER LIFE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Anything less than that, and any future relationship is doomed to fail.
There is no evidence of depression, stress, trauma, or somethin[g] harmful when a 16 year old is in a consensual relationship with someone older, according to some research papers I read.
STOP READING RESEARCH PAPERS. QUIT. CEASE. END. NO MORE.
What bothers me is that people go years to prison for psedoscience because they happen to be in the wrong US state. What is severely punished in some states is not punished in other states.
Have YOU, personally, gone to prison for years? If not, then QUIT THINKING ABOUT IT. Whatever your personal version of social justice amounts to, you'll never see it in your lifetime, so stop thinking about it.
Did you read this, DoubtingThomas? If so, did you merely duplicate the sounds of the letters in your head, or did you comprehend that the words I typed
actually mean things? If the latter, did you comprehend the meaning? If so, will you integrate them, or better yet, will you alter your methodology to bring your actions more in line with them? If not, why not?
