Love exists for around six months. This is to encourage breeding, the continuation of the species. After that, people either split up or stay together out of comfort or fear of loneliness. That's it, nothing more nothing less. Stop basing your life around not having a gf. No man on earth has a woman who loves him.
Next, life is suffering. The only rational way to live is to avoid suffering as much as you can. Avoid people, seek solitude, keep busy.
Life is nothing but a cycle of suffering, desire and boredom. You're born, you suffer, then you die.
>avoid suffering I'd like to add that avoiding is not the same as resisting. Resisting makes it worse. Avoid good. Just be sure to understand the difference. Nice thread OP.

Jordan Rivera
>After that, people either split up or stay together out of comfort or fear of loneliness I have a gf of about 2 years. Still love her.
How do you explain that?
Christopher Watson
he can't, unless he has experienced it himself. he values suffering instead of love or happiness.
Gavin Butler
Of course he can't, I know that. He's just a deluded and retarded robot incel lmao I was like that once, too.
Adam Bell
This is not accurate. What OP calls love, is actually lust, and lust is tangible and can be manipulated. Love, on the other hand, takes time and if the person does not love you after 6 months, they never loved you to begin with. It takes time to develop love for someone. There is a difference in longing to be with someone and longing to see someone.
Nathan Mitchell
Love doesn't exist, humans eventually get tired of each other, and they will seek new better and younger partners, do you ever wonder why couples who stay together their whole lives grow to hate each other? Why couples eventually stop having sex? You may enjoy now, but the only way to live a truly fulfilling is to find your own happiness, without relying on others for it
You don't see me talking about the moon if I've never been there, right?
Adrian Clark
Sorry to disappoint but I had multiple relationships, none of them were ever fulfilling, You can't rely on others to be happy user, be your own person, find your own meaning in life. You need to be your own person.
The only reason chad is satisfied with life is because he satisfies his instincts, if you can learn to control your instincts, you can break free from the material desires of your body and be truly happy.
keep telling that to yourself, maybe if you'll repeat it hard enough you'll believe it. maybe you're even right, i dont know
but i think its just cope. robots are the depressed losers, and thats all there is to it. god is cruel to us and thats all there is to it. pretending you dont want love and intimacy that the sexually successful experienced in their youth seems to me like just sour grapes
Schopie is actually pretty based, thank you for showing me this.
Connor Rivera
Simply because you were born inadequate to take part in the tribe doesn't mean that you cannot find your own happiness, infact I would consider being your own person and not being a sheep is beneficial for you, you are taught from a young age how to be on your own, how to survive, and how to make yourself happy without relying on others.
You are wrong on all points. But nice try I guess.

I've lived my life around a similar philosophy since I was 16.
Isaiah Butler
I'm quite a fan of Schopenhauer and still feel like he's right, but logically I have to concede to Nietzsche. Schopenhauer is for the individual, Nietzsche is for the whole of humanity. There really should be a philosophy that mixes them together in this regard. Obviously we personally shouldn't reproduce and continue the suffering of humanity, but that's not going to stop other people from reproducing. So this puts you in a position in which if you are compassionate, you have to still think of what's good for the world. Even if we could convince all the humans from reproducing, life will still continue. Animals will suffer and eventually breed a new creature capable of the same suffering as humans. At this point one is forced to either give up all empathy or take Nietzsche's philosophy and try to better the world, because you don't get to just end it all. That's not to even mention the fact that the Eternal Recurrence is real and it's objectively retarded to just sit through life over and over again just trying to avoid misery. Even though I can't help but act in such a manner, I still know that objectively it's the dumber action to take. I really wish there was a switch to turn myself into a full blown ubermensch, but life is not that easy and I often hide from it altogether.

It's an all new "normalfags have cognitive dissonanvece and collectively cope" episode. Premiering tonight at 8!
Samuel Hernandez
arguably normies prove mr schopenhauer wrong. they enjoy their lives and dont suffer and breed and everything works out great for them. how can you tell normies that life is suffering and pain when they've never suffered?
First of all, emotional bonds only grow stronger the more time you spend with someone. What you're calling love is infatuation.
Secondly, what hurts people on this board is that they think life is all about pursuing pleasure and stopping pain. This is suffering, not the pain itself. People expect there to be some pleasure that's permanent and they think that if something ends, it's bad. This outlook is a misunderstanding of reality, and it causes harm in various ways.
For example, if someone goes to a party thinking about how to get people to like them, people will see that person as pathetic. This is because they think they can control something they can't - they have unrealistic expectations. Similarly, we shouldn't try to control other people's feelings about us to any unnecessary degree. Accept that sometimes you'll feel pleasure and sometimes you'll be hurt.
Ethan Gonzalez
>Secondly, what hurts people on this board is that they think life is all about pursuing pleasure and stopping pain. Actually, what hurts people on this board, is that women they're interested in think that.
Nicholas Martin
Aren't men doing the same thing by expecting women to be their personal source of endless pleasure?
Tyler Reed
No, dumb roastie. Men just want not to be treated like literal dog shit after they invest everything they have into someone.
Bentley Edwards
Actually it's what hurts people on this board. Most kids are raised to endure pain and understand the difference between good stress and bad stress. Robots somehow arrived at the conclusion that any discomfort is a reason to give up or cry for help.
You have tons of people on this board who think depression and anxiety are "mental illnesses" when the shit they ascribe to those words are just regular mood swings, mild inconveniences, and the natural consequence of inexperience which would go away with time.
Nathan Ward
Well yeah, of course. And many men do the same thing to women, while some couples happily stay together for decades, but the point is, we can't stop every bad thing from happening to us. Ruminating over how you or others should and should not feel only makes people feel worse.
Chase Gray
>investing everything you have into someone who treats you like dog shit not the smartest move, but you do you.
Asher Martinez
They don't start treating you like dog shit until they realize that you actually like them for real, so if you don't play the retarded sociopath stereotype forever with no mistakes, you're bound to end up like that as soon as the mask slips.
Kevin Roberts
>And many men do the same thing to women Wanna compare percentages and reasons for it? Let's not go into that.
Aaron Phillips
Excellent posts user, most robots can benefit from thinking like this

Ooh we got the Alfalfa over here ladies, bend over for the main chief daddy man guy penis.
Brayden Morgan
Schopenhauer was a scammer, his game was depressing everyone else so he could publish his work uncontested. For someone so resigned to suffering he sure was motivated.
Jackson Evans

Oof yourself creepy femcel.
Colton Turner
OP you sound like a delusional and schizophrenic phaggot, kill yourself. It will be the only rational way to end your suffering

How the fuck did I mangle the spelling of "dissonance" so bad? This is what happens when one doesn't proofread. I'm pissed that you didn't call me out on it.
James Clark
This isn't true, neurologists put it around 4 years, that you have the love hormones and they flame out around 3 and a half to 4 years to insure the survival of a child through infancy.
