Now, if the grand-daddy of soul mate pandering can't make it work, what's left for the rest of us?
Lots of married couples DO make it work. Life does not come with guarantees, but then, that's what makes it fun.
Instinct tells me you are not as happy as you claim, you may have gone through a personal crisis, and you will recover. Eventually you will find Mrs. Rin, at which point you will take an opposite view of life.
Once again, the miserable ones are people who don't know how to pick the right mate...
It's not just about picking the right mate, but being the right mate. It's pretty rare you be the exact same person you were before the start of a relationship.

I'd say a minority and usually, they have very similar backgrounds (ethnic a/o religious) a/o objectives in life.

Like I'd said, my postings here are in regards to arguing against both, my immediate family and society, as a whole. And thus, this forum serves that purpose whereas in real life, I'd need to be political as ppl don't want their sacred cows tipped over.
Also, this job is driving me nuts which is another reason to come here; it blows off steam.
The crisis, the age of 29, is something everyone goes through. It's the age of growing up, the astrological Saturn return era. Afterwards, my loss of interest in long term relationships started to grow. Today, I'm past that wall and don't see value in being with someone, outside of a friendship, like the 55 year old married mother of three adult children. And no, I'm not thinking of going back in a time machine to 'get her'; I live in reality.
Eventually you will find Mrs. Rin, at which point you will take an opposite view of life.
This is not that much different from saying to a gay person: "Eventually you will become straight like me and take an opposite view of life."
Oh boy. here we go again with another predictably nutty post. Surprise. Surprise....

People change their views about marriage, life and children all the time.

these people are looking for something akin to a Jesus or a Mother Mary in a marriage.
Sorry, but if I wanted divinity, I'd join a religious order, shave my head, and do something else with my life, though I'm not sure if the Benedictines will let me go to an Amsterdam brothel, periodically, to break up to monotony.
many ages ago, people didn't ascribe these magical properties to marriage. Marriage was your obligation, and rarely did you marry someone because they gave you a 'funny feeling', your marriage was arranged and you simply did not break it and expect to show face. Religion played the role of placating the masses. In the modern era, TV and movies became the church and romance became the religion(what is the core content of EVERY movie and TV show?).
Rin is right, 'romantic love' is an illusion. It doesnt exist. Here's a test you can run, the people who shout about it and talk about it endlessly are mostly single young people who don't know any better. Old people DO know better but don't say so out of respect for the whole show.
Don't be a fool, romance will NOT make you happy.

95%+ of these marriages would never work if it weren't for the funny money. Just another feature of this false society were living under.
My grandparents basically got out of high schooll, got married and started having children as soon as possible. they didnt plan out vacations, glamorous careers, granite countertops, etc. That was the basic purpose of life- raising a family. We've become intensely materialistic.
Talking to a few of my friends who have left, escaped from regions of despotism, the US has far and away the most equal rights for minorities and women. A friend who had a harrowing exodus from Afghanistan talks of the multiple rights that people have in the US, and has contrasted that with the utter lack of not only womans rights, but of the bullying and hatred and ruination of societies that lack rights. For if one man were to act in bad faith with the others around him, and eventual the others around him also act in bad faith, you would expect to see a society without modern advances, without rights, and everyone subjugated except for the Mafia/Fifedom class (which was for the trampling of everyone else in the first place)
When I see the writing of Saul Alinsky, and think how the bad faith, bullying, deception, lying, cheating, threatening, destruction that they profess, and some of our leading liberals now taking this bad faith to the masses, we the US can become like the wicked societies that we despise.
Sometimes it good to talk to people who have just gotten out of a bad situation in Afghanistan to contrast how good we have it in comparison to these places in the world that still have a great tribal, anti human rights basis as their foundation of their societies.
I say we dont become like that, Dems say "Lets become like Afghanistan", but the devil (or Alinsky who cited the devil) blinds people to the very direction that they suggest heading in.
Feel sorry for some of guys who've apparently not found "the one" , as in not the one who yes- gives you a "funny feeling" or otherwise is your soulmate.
Gab away all day long about totally unrelated principles and supposed better outcomes in forced marriages all you want. Reality is that yes- there are many, MANY married couples who spend a lifetime in love with one another. Its not rocket science.

Afghanistan used to be relatively 'modern' until the Soviets messed with them so badly they reverted to traditional values. I don't see the patterns in the first world as being very durable because you can clearly see things breaking down.

someone like Hitler will arise after we have a breakdown. Pre Nazi germany(Weimar) was very similar to America today.

As long as people have freedom to decide whether to be materialistic and/or family oriented and are free to exercise those choices, society is in a better place than if the option is forcibly removed by social engineers.

Video: Meet Chanty Binx (Big Red) Feminist and hypocrite
What a disgusting excuse for a human being. She's also the perfect example of the difference difference between a leftist and a liberal. A liberal would never behave like that; only leftist nutjobs do. A liberal wants the opposition to talk so that he/she can tear down their arguments one by one. Only leftist and rightist scum want to silence their opposition.
The left and the right are more like each other than either is like a liberal.

If you read the writings of Hitler, you will be surprised to find very cogent and lucid remarks about the nature of liberal democracies. Remember that during Hitler's time, they weren't very old or very cemented into the structure and psyche of everyday life as they are today. Germany was not long before Hitler's time a military empire. Much of what Hitler said applies today.

"democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of a people's true values. And this also serves to explain how it is that people with a great past from the time when they surrender themselves to the unlimited, democratic rule "of the masses slowly lose their former position; for the outstanding achievements of individuals...are now rendered practically ineffective through the oppression of mere numbers." -Adolf Hitler
"Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be "discovered" by an election." -Adolf Hitler

look at our current social values- we celebrate black people who do crimes, we blame people for being white(even though this is what blacks themselves find beautiful), we blame people for being intelligent, we blame women for having and caring for children, etc.

difference between a leftist and a liberal.
Dan, that type of colorfully haired type will rage over their recent Oppression and Patriarchial Mansplaining Event when somebody held the door open for them while drinking a $6 latte. This type of person is known as a "Social Justice Warrior".
Social Justice Warriors will
1. Scream at you for not calling their sexual preference by their own particular definition ("It's Gender Queer, not Androgynous, you rascist, sexist, homophobe!")
2. Hate on civil liberties - what they call mockingly "Freeze Peach!" when someone objects to being silenced by them or their PC codes and regulations
3. Have no interest in police brutality, economic injustice, homelessness, etc. unless it focuses exclusively on their special interst as a (Fill in the Blank: Lesbian left-handed Eskimo, Biracial Bisexual, Gender Queer Guatemalan).

just look at the history of these ideas, their origin is the Frankfurt School which attempted to apply Marxist thinking to social values. You can trace practically every crazy liberal idea to this school of thinking. This school dominated Universities in pre-Nazi germany.

PC/Social Justice Warriors are 70s era hippies who gave up fighting the man when they realized he would fight back with bullets and water hoses, so they decided to rant about how Transsexuals are really only trying to invade Womyn's Spaces and rape women's bodies by trying to look like them*. They are the reason people are so focused on the Culture War while the American Standard of Living goes into the toilet.
No War but the Class War - that's leftism.
Screaming "Mansplaining!" when you didn't understand a transmission overhaul is not in the same ballpark in terms of price or time as an oil change isn't leftism.

no you really dont get it. In America, these ideas were gestated in the Universities during the 60s when they were taking over by Social Marxists - the social justice warrior type, whose headquarters are the Universities which harbor these ideas - are a pretty simplistic way of looking at it. At the very basis their ideas are Communist/Marxist but most or many dont even realize what is the genealogy of their ideas. Read David Horowitz if you don't believe that Communists were actively plotting to remake American society.
we have many feminists, but not too many seem concerned with how or where these ideas came from and this obfuscation is intentional because they don't want Americans to know what is the origin of these ideas- as that might lead them to realize what will be the result of them. Communism had feminism a long time ago(almost 100 years) - and it didnt result in the liberation of women, quite the opposite.

David Horowitz is like one of those guys in 1930s Germany or Spain.
They're with the fascists one day, the stalinists the next. It wasn't uncommon for members of the Communist or Fascist parties to switch sides. They were authoritarian minded people, only the style of authoritarianism changed.
Horowitz went from being a Social Justice Warrior to being a Neocon Warmonger. He's still a complete whackaloon.

Understanding that half of these items are more comical than accurate and yet there is an underlying truth. What is the greatest part about not having a boyfriend? It's understanding that you do not require one to be complete. You should be happy with who you are on the inside, and content watching Netflix marathons and going out with friends. When the right guy comes around, he will. Until then, go blast some Beyonce ladies, being single is a beautiful thing.
