All my exes live in Texas.
Seriously, I'm married, though with the amount of work I do, sometimes my wife fails to recognize me. ;-)

#32No, romance is dumb.
We know that romantic relationships frequently hurt people. This leaves some pro-romance positions available such as: - it only hurts foolish people; there are known solutions to all those problems - it's worth the risk of being hurt - there is a type of relationship that is different than conventional romance in a way that prevents being hurt, but is still romantic So, anyone want to debate, or just stick to downvot…
Debate? I wouldn't mind.
I'd say (although maybe I'm unqualified to do so... :) ) that although it may hurt, it can also just lead to a happier lifestyle. And happier people, it seems to me, would be more productive, both in the short and long run. So while relationships may hurt people, the hurt would be short term, while the overall happiness and productivity gains might be long-term.
----- Oh, and by the way. It took me login to post, because I didn't realize that the ID's were case-sensitive. I'm not sure that they should be, eh?

While people frequently feel happy about romance, what is there that should make one happy? If the answer is something like, "having a close relationship where you understand each other well" then that is possible without romance and without being hurt.

Everyone is entitled their opinions, I dont see why this had to be downmodded necessarily because it is a valid statement. Besides the fact that antisocial people tend to say things like that. And nobody likes antisocial people. And they dont like anyone either, by definition. I guess it was downmodded cause he didn't back up his valid statement. Of course, I disagree with his statement. No gf here but I've got a dat…
(It's pretty silly, which should make it be a -1, but not a -20 or whatever)

So far after posting support for my statement I've lost 13 more points. I don't care, but this is useful as evidence: I think your theory that I was being downvoted due to lack of support for my statement is incorrect.
