Women

>be with a woman for 7 years
>has always seemed devoted
>occasionally after a long day she'll say something or make a face or just have a particular tone of voice which makes me think it's all a big lie
>have to just ignore it
I don't think you can ever know. They could love you or it could be any number of other things: need to latch on to someone stronger; fear of loneliness; belief that she can't do better; desire to fit in socially and do what her friends are doing or family expect; desire for children and family; or the one people like to quote most, money. It could be any mix of these, and even when you're old and grey and still together you might still not know.

Dude, you are overreacting.

Love isn't real. Or at the very least, women will never love you the way you want.

Just remember that women are like cats.. the more attention you give them the more likely they'll run away or get angry.

That's what I mean... The concept of love as we know it seems so absurd. I don't know If I even wanna invest that much time and effort into someone when it could all be for nothing

the concept is absurd and marriage is a lie, but you have to believe it in order to enjoy romance. if you can't put the cat back in the bag just stop worrying about it.

>ITT a bunch of joyless faggots pine over the pointlessness of love
Nihilists should just kill themselves and stop wasting air

I spent a lot of time thinking the latter before meeting the literal love of my life. For the last 5 years I look forward to seeing her at the end of the day and falling asleep with her arms around me or mine around her. Having a partner through life is one of the best feelings in the world- being able to share the ups and downs of your day and have someone to rely on during hard times gives you a sense of peace unlike any other.

Life stops being survival, and its starts being something to work hard and succeed at. Since dating her my life has flipped completely around.

Stop seeing women as a singular entity. Look at them as individuals- otherwise you might overlook someone really special.

I did that with my bf because they're the only person I share similar hobbies and views and personality traits with and we can discuss IT together properly. But most women these days are superficial about relationships, so are men. Just not a good decade for relationships i suppose.

If you don't feel intense love why would you bother in the first place. Also, you probably wouldn't be asking this question because you would they experienced.

That's not what nilhilist means.

Posts like this really make me wonder why people act like it's immature or unreasonable to want somebody.

Why do you think the term monkey branching exists and is only applied to women..

Probably not, it does manage to happen but it's just as likely you'll end up in a platonic relationship. be like a rodent and gopher it.

That kind of love is so rare it might as well not exist. Even happily married couples for 20+ years probably, don’t have that kind of love.

If you get him to marry you, you're already entitled to at least half his wealth.
It's obvious who gets the better deal.

It sucks you haven't found it, hopefully you do/can (these attitudes are a hindrance).
Stay positive, keep looking, you'll meet them.

Wrong. I do. But we got together when couples had to find each other by ourselves and work hard to build a life together. This strengthens the relationship.

The internet and instant gratification of "me want it now" means few people are ever really satisfied , all they have to do is look for 5 mins to find someone or something bigger, better, richer and make your hard work seem like a joke in comparison.

Yes. Life isn’t like your favorite anime.

A woman gets hit, and people immediately try to blame her for not using her psychic powers to detect a lowlife. A man cheats, people assume the woman got fat or didn't put out enough. Only women get meme terms for being an asshole, men can do whatever the fuck they want to women and at most they'll just get "boys will be boys hurr durr muh evolutionary biology hurr durr."

A woman gets hit, and people immediately assume the man was in the wrong for not using his psychic powers to detect a bitch.

it's not a bad idea to buy into it but it'd be a bad idea to expect it. don't tell yourself it can't happen, don't tell yourself it will happen. it can. it might. it might not.
that being said though, most people don't into loyalty. keep your heart open until you find her, keep your eyes open always. best of luck to you.

when women do wrong they tell themselves that they aren't who fucked up
when men do wrong they tell themselves that what they did isn't fucked up
the term exists because it's fitting. it only gets applied to women because men would have to acknowledge what they're doing as wrong before they could apply it to themselves.

I heard a trillion times more often than roastie being toasty

It's always a bad idea to commit to a relationship because it will end sooner or later. There's no such thing as real love, there's no such thing as the one and only, there's no such thing as loyalty. Everything is based on conditions on either side. If conditions are not met with the conjuncture that your partner will be able to live up to these conditions, it's over

Most relationships are temporary and even there are long ones, they tend to be over long ago but people are to scared or to annoyed to search for alternatives. Just live together because you know another which is better than dealing with a stranger

I'm completely terrified I'll never know those feelings personally.
Every relationship I've been in has either gone down in flames or slowly devolved into the girl hating me.
It seems so unachievable.
Life is a shit

There are a couple keys to a good relationship.

1. Communicate. And find someone else who does. Resentment can build up over any thousand of things, but being able to talk about it at the end of the day and go to bed with a solution or an apology is what will keep fights from happening.
2. Don't say mean things to eachother. Its one thing to point out problems, its another thing to yell insults. In the five years we've dated, I've never been shouted at. Ever. The girl I'm dating is also pretty softspoken, but I do my part to make sure I never yell at her for anything either. If you insult someone, especially throwing back something in their face they told you in confidence (weight, sexual history, etc) you lose all trust.
3. Set your standards, and keep them. She told me she wouldn't want to marry someone who doesn't have a stable career, and I fixed myself to meet those very reasonable standards. Her parents are very strict, so we dated for about a year without them knowing, but I didn't want to be a secret. So she told them, they practically exploded, but eventually calmed down and now her parents bring me back gifts from their vacations and shit like that. Keep reasonable standards and make them clear. Don't settle for someone that plays video games all day and fails their classes.
4. Actively work to make eachother happy. This should be a natural inclination. If its not, you may not be with the right person. I know my girlfriend absolutely loves cooking my favorite meals and packing my lunches because it makes me feel warm and loved to eat her food. Just like I love to surprise her when she comes home from work or school with a tidy house and a bubble bath already running if she's had a long day. Little things can mean a lot.

Basically, relationships aren't something that just happen and all of a sudden you're having the time of your life. They're something you work on with another person who has to be willing to put in the work as well.

>ITT: I'm a nineteen year old nerdy shut-in, let me tell you all about how love is meaningless and women are all shit and exactly what your entire life is going to be like.

Wow, you guys are bleeding-edge thinkers.
