Lesson learned: When you're a sane person, don't date a hippie.

So you're saying Dharma and Greg was merely a middling sit-com, and not a how-to manual? I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I say.

Let's check in with melmac, 'diva and quiz on that one. Although I guess we should add TBA.

Hippies should only date other hippies and rightwing nutjobs should only date other rightwing nutjob.

Of the list of all the females who have been single sometime since they started posting, the majority have dated at least one fellow poster.

My hint: don't date posters.

Give it time, I suspect that you and MH14 will date at some point, in fact I'd be willing to put significant money on it with an independent 3rd party (i.e. a casino).

Re: Singles Part 14: Come Get Some!

Okay, maybe you're right. I am still friends with him. :P

And the only reason you suggest me & Mavsy is because we're the only posters under 20 :P

Re: Singles Part 14: Come Get Some!

Hippies should only date other hippies and rightwing nutjobs should only date other rightwing nutjob.

I haven't witnessed any right-wing girls who weren't psycho... though there's always a time for firsts

edit: actually, I immediately realized that isn't true... certainly a character but not a psycho... so, there's one out there.

Hippies should only date other hippies and rightwing nutjobs should only date other rightwing nutjob.

While not a right-wing nutjob, but rather conservative, I almost married a not a hippie but very liberal woman. It's called maturity and respect for others' opinions.

Most left-wing nutjobs wouldn't know..

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Brenthoven again."

Though, if the opinions are just too different, it's better to cut your losses and walk away with a lesson learned.

As for dating posters, I'd say it's no different than in any other "social" group. Sometimes, people meet here and it works. Sometimes, it doesn't. It doesn't stop my family from referring to USCHO as "a dating site for hockey freaks", though.

I agree with you.

I was making a sweeping generalization and acknowledge that. My point was that people who have something that they are very passonate about that strongly influences their general worldview are often best off withsome who shares that worldview. Otherwise you are just setting yourself up for some significant conflict over major topics as a result of differences in your philosophies, regardless if you respect the other persons opinion or not.

And, yes, I'm aware of cases where those differences were not a problem, but those are an exception to this generalization.

Re: Singles Part 14: Come Get Some!

There will always be differences in opinion amongst couples, and having somewhat of an open mind is required of both parties. A case study would be my last relationship where I viewed the world ‘realistically’ and my gf ‘optimistically’. Sometimes I was too pessimistic, and her sometimes too overoptimistic. The issue is that no one is ever spot on 100% of the time, and it’s easy to eviscerate someone’s worldview when their ideals aren’t met.

Don’t get me started on hippies. I utterly abhor most of them. They sit there and preech change, but do nothing. No ideas, no action…just distrust for “the man” who is keeping them down. News flash, you are keeping yourselves down. Its an utter defeatist mindset bend on deferring responsibility, and the inability to shoulder blame for their own life situation. Hard work is scorned since it buys into the system, but they secretly hate hard work because it cuts into their precious 4/20.

It’s a tall task to find a girl who is different enough to be fun, but not different enough to be lame. Somewhat congruent goals and ideals are probably where to look. In my case, someone who likes to exercise, isn’t terribly religious, and is fairly smart is probably what I’ll end up with.

Interesting dialogue between me and a girl I was hooking up with a few months ago:

“ I feel sorry for you not believing in god or heaven”
‘ I don’t. I didn’t feel sorry for myself before I was born, I doubt I will afterwards”
