I am a female who just wants to be happy, whether single, in a relationship or married. I don't do "dating" as I find it a waste of time and I hate small talk.
Yeah, dating is just the ritual leading up to sex. If someone really wants sex that badly, they should skip the ritual and go straight to the penetration. And if they want marriage, then before all the crap that comes with dating, and all the fun flirty grab ass games that people like to play so they don't have to think...you know, that all-consuming mind numbing pain fest called logic and reasoning, they need to decide what they want out of a marriage, and what kind of person would help make that a reality, before they play a dangerous game that costs a lot of money and time and energy and stress. Which of the ridiculous demands of this ideal partner are important, and which aren't so important? Sort of like packing for a vacation versus going out somewhere at the last minute. What do you bring with you that is vital, and what is extra? Again, most people don't want to think that hard, so dating becomes a nightmare. I write about this so much because it's in my face 24/7, and if I could escape from it easier, I might not be so pissed off that I'm stuck with this crap. It only gets worse and worse as the years go by...the rituals get more complicated, communication gets more distant and informal, people are less able to think for themselves, yeah, time is running out. Such a gloomy post. Must be the shadows under my eyes.
