Males and Females

We are the relationship emperors. The Internet our empire.

I had an 'internet boyfriend' for about a year in high school, we skyped and everything. He was in the state, so when we finally met in person... Awkward as fuck.

Just saying. You don't have to touch for a connection, but someone's personality through a computer is gonna be at least a little bit of a farce, no matter your honest intentions.

I'm on the fence about the whole "touch is needed for a emotional connection" but, especially with increased internet dating and applications like Tinder, but I have to agree with this. The screen gives someone a veil to hide behind for a while until the initial in person meeting.
But to be fair, people can still be like that in real life...

On a side note, my ex bailed on meeting up at the last minute. So that was fun. Not sure if I should reschedule that or just wait to hear back again. Or I could just burn that bridge and make life about 20 times easier.

RJ, have you ever had a normal relationship? It seems your lack of having one is leading you to justify all the rather unorthodox "relationships" you've had.

"Normal" relationship? What would you define as a "normal" relationship?

jesus fuck

"Normal" relationship? What would you define as a "normal" relationship?

Regular, often exclusive, physical contact complemented by mutual emotional support.

For those that aren't (since I've never seen a single episode of that show): It means he's going for a threesome.

My current relationship fits that definition.

Regardless though, again I don't feel physical contact is even necessary for a relationship. It is preferable, yes, but not necessary.

You've fully embraced the culture of technological nihilism. Not necessary a bad thing.

Some people definitely manage to express their personality effectively online, but I'd say like 7 or 8 out of 10 can't.

Burn that bridge yo. There's someone more respectful out there for you.

In my experience, reconnecting with exes has tended to be a painful experience if you have yet to find somebody new. I wouldn't bother.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Or you bang so many hood rats you become completely numb and it makes your ex look like a school girl

Being able to see and touch a person is not a requirement for an emotional connection. You'd be surprised how much you can be in a person's life physically and not emotionally. A connection is a mutual feeling shared between two people, whether it's through letters, fucking, the internet, or they communicate through dance like bees, the only requirement is communication.

I just stabbed three hippies because of this post.

 

[The Butt]

You can stab as many hippies as you like, he's still right. For some people, being able to see and touch a person is not a requirement for an emotional connection. It may be for you, but it isn't for everyone.

Yeah, I not a fan of flakey behavior like that. That's almost as bad as bringing other people along for first post break up meetings. My first ex did that and what was even sadder was that he brought his friend who he had break up with me for him even though he was present at the time.
Crap like that shows a lack of self confidence in my opinion. It's better to have someone admit "Hey, I'm not ready to meet yet" rather than having them pussy out last minute or bring crutches for them to lean on if things don't go well.

In my experience, reconnecting with exes has tended to be a painful experience if you have yet to find somebody new. I wouldn't bother.

Yeah, that's a good point. I'm a noob to this "being friends with exes" thing as it's never worked well in the past so I'm not friends with any of mine. I think I just had more faith this time around since we were two peas in a pod even before we decided to become a dynamic duo.

macho men are bald retards with their mouths held open like howler monkeys, who live in pubs and have a weird love hate relationship with homosexuality

This chick wants me to see Primus with her. They any good? I like know one song plus the South Park theme.

They're nu metal for people that don't want to admit that they like a nu metal band. Pork Soda is my fav of what I've heard.
