RE: What Simple Practises Can Tell Us About Romantic Relationships
There're a lot of assumptions going on here. I'm assuming these are your opinions. Because these definitely do not reflect individuals in my life.
People aren't obsessed with making their bodies better. Otherwise everyone would have nice bodies. Obsession drives one to obtain something, an Olympian is obsessed, a bodybuilder is, average men and women. No.
Women prefer men fighting, hmm. My lady takes pride in the fact that I stay cool headed. Remaining calm until necessary is much more attractive then just throwing fists raging. This is simply my opinion.
The comments about makeup are just ludicrous. Yes, we're animals, yes we're using flashy things to attract mates just like any animal. I don't think makeup was created with the specific intentions you are mentioning. Lipstick for simulation of vagina lips, what?
The female portrait you paint gives a sense of dependency and manipulation of aesthetics. Of course some women do this, but the average amount of women don't even workout to produce supple bodies, and makeup becomes a joke because it looks like they're focusing on the wrong priorities for looking nice.
"Romantic relationships is about people ritualizing the act of fucking."
-kyriacos
Have you felt love? The feeling. There is a heavy difference between fucking and making love. Many romantic relationships don't revolve around fucking. They revolve around caring for each other, communication, growing together. No wonder the divorce rate is so high, if everyone is ritualizing fucking, of course.
We created love to separate ourselves? We do just find with our egos on that. I don't understand how you get this idea. You can see love in nature. Love from the sun, for giving us warmth. Love from the apple tree for bearing us fruit. Love is a flower releasing a scent while being crushed. Love in the animal kingdom, many animals have mating traditions that go well above the "fucking" you talk about.
Male penguins will travel miles to a shoreline to pick out a pretty pebble specifically for their mate.
I believe this topic is extremely broad based on the fact Love is defined in many different ways, from many worlds that are all of our perspectives. You just defined your relationship with love, and I hope you find someone who makes you feel special.
You have a great brain, I can tell by your style, by the questions you must be asking for these post results. Thanks for the food for thought. Feel free to rip my opinion apart, as I did yours. I mean, men being all bout power right? Or is it the man within you who looks for power?
You should read the book the red queen, much of what kyriacos has stated is scientifically proven.
Much of scientific data is generalized using statistical theories. Science has proven many things, to later prove wrong. I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm simply showing that it is an extremely small scope. One of our most sound theories has been disproved within the past 300 years. We still hesitate on the big bang theory. We've been wrong about so many psychological experiments. Science has done a fair job of putting out some reliable data, but not all data put out by the savior science cannot be accepted effortlessly.
Maybe the majority of people are this way, all no. To categorize men vs women, well that isn't too logical in a day where there isn't a fine line for gender. Especially when biological dna does not reflect what kind of desires and intentions an individual has.
I love science, but they're not always right. Nobody is.
I suppose it's less 'men vs women' and more an awareness of the strategies people use in day to day life. I can go to a bar and prove many of these theories right. I hear what you're saying though - science is a bunch of theoretical models that are often only proven wrong when evidence comes along to do so. People still don't fully understand gravity - they can theorise about it but is there any evidence to support it? Getting a bit deep and moving on from lipstick there!
Haha, yeah but isn't that what we live for? Fun conversations man, exchanging of information and ideas; thats how beautiful things are created.
I agree fully! There are definitely people who do have manipulative incentives with their choices, especially when going out on the weekend. I don't think of it too often because it is outside my world. I use psychological manipulation, not physical or emotional.
Women can definitely be scary deceptive beings. The past can teach us that; talk to Montezuma.
Psychological manipulation - now there is a subject I could rant about.
Machiavellian shit. Creepy.
precisely. my fav book actually
Not many people I know have read it. I wish I had read it years ago. Currently on King, Warrior, Magician, Lover - more essential reading for men,
That looks fascinating. I'm interested.
Most are obsessing to make their bodies better. This is what fashion is all about.
Btw. You offered zero arguments.
I'm not trying to argue friend. Not that many are obsessed, the data is in front of our face every day. If they wanted better bodies, they'd just get one through good health and good life.
Your view is limited. It's a spectrum.
