I'm uploading an old rant from Facebook to act as a corollary to the first Philosophy Friday. This is because a certain girlfriend of a friend of mine (not gonna say who, but you know what you did) thinks that there is someone out there for everyone (there isn't, I did the math) and that you just have to look. Meet my dating site profile:
Let's face some facts. The dating world sucks. Around 100 years ago, the free, democratic peoples of the world collectively decided to ignore 1 million years of human mating practices and began selecting life partners based on the concept of "love". What a load of horseshit.
And unfortunately for us, we have inherited this flawed system. You see, our parents and grandparents had it easy. Firstly, our grandparents had a bunch of supercool wars to live through which made all of our grandads soldiers and all of our grandmas swoon over their manliness. Our parents, well they had the summer of love, rock & roll, psychadelich drugs, and all sorts of super sexiness. We have Justin Bieber and an internet which is rapidly destroying our social skills through social networking. Also, there are clubs and bars which are most definitely no place to meet the future parent of your children. And if you think it is, well you're a rapidly devolving moron.
Another fact we must face is that you're a liar. It's okay. I'm a liar too. And so is the guy you want to meet. Human nature is to be despicable and to deceive yourself and others. You see, after sighing and swooning over the guy you wish you could meet, when he's staring you in the face, you look past him because, well, he's not really the guy you want to meet. He's no Twilight vampire/werewolf/fruitcake. And when you meet your Cullen, he turns Cú Chulainn and goes blood raving mad on you. And I'm sorry you had to find out this way. Because I know that you're "really trying" to find the right guy.
