How are you supposed to eat it? Genuinely curious.

I already covered all that. Some do, most don't. Many of these relationships blow up years later and the couple themselves say it was because they latched onto each other when they were both insecure and inexperienced. Other relationships might last, but are dysfunctional as fuck. Meeting truly the right person…

LOL, your marriage is so great and last night's sex was so good that first thing this morning you came straight here to reply to me some more. Protesting too much - I love it.

Nope, self-centred idiots who reply to my posts with nonsense take their chances. What were they expecting me to say? "Oh good for you and your inexperienced husband, who aren't divorced - yet. That totally proves that there are outliers for every general trend. What a great contribution you've made to the…

"This guy got caught because of the child porn images, not because some techie is scrutinizing everyone's emails for hours on end."

You're sure posting a lot for someone who doesn't care what I think.

So you are the decider of what this thread was about? And you need it to be not about dating because you can't contribute to that conversation. You need it to be ALL ABOUT YOU.

These aren't just my friends, it's acquaintances, friends-of-friends, co-workers, friends of co-workers, famous people, etc etc etc. How do you think it got to be a cliche? By being a common experience for a long time.

'To me, there's hooking up/casual relationships and then their are serious committed long term relationships (I really don't get being in a serious long term relationship if you aren't at least open to the possibility of marrying that person)"

Or maybe my original comment never had anything to do with you but you decided to wade in anyway and got more than you bargained for. Don't like it? Try fucking off.

If you're so lucky and happy in your relationship, why aren't you fucking Mr. He'll Do right now? Instead of giving useless dating advice to people who don't give a shit what you have to say because you are so inexperienced?

Maybe take a look at what you wrote and understand why it's stupid? Because it's actually stupid, objectively speaking.

Yup, if someone pipes up with some stupid "that's not how it is for MEEEEEE!" bullshit, they deserve what they get.

Say the person who went ad hominem in her second reply.

But sharing your "personal differentiation" when no one asked for it is not self-important?

Anyone who writes "We don't really get a lot of choice when it comes to the appearance of our person" AND then "I'm not really a fate person" is an idiot.

It seems to me that you are self-centred and don't like being called out on it.

What else would it be?

There are lots of options in-between hooking up and committing to a relationship before you're 25.

Oh so it's a FATE thing. Jesus Christ.
