Human nature can be overcome or at least redirected. Meditation, and exercises that are both physical and mental go a long way towards achieving that. Additionally, one can take their time to understand human nature.

 

Understanding human nature demystifies it, removes the illusion and presents you with the reality. Its like looking at a thunderstorm and instead of thinking that it was Thor or Zeus or Indra having fun, its a scientific process involving moisture, instability an charges in the clouds. Its like looking at the sun and instead of seeing Amun-Ra or Helios or Surya, we see that the sun rises and sets because of the movement of Earth. 

 

The same goes for human nature like love or lust or romance. Understanding that these are simply hormones running wild due to evolution and biological drives instead of looking at it as a necessity in life without which one would be incomplete helps a lot. 

I don't get it.

 

Understanding that I would love someone is because my brain has learned through evolution and behavioral reinforcement that these are things that I would desire in a mate, and that my chosen mate would likely feel the same, doesn't demystify it, to me it makes it all the more beautiful.

 

If the Earth wasn't made, and is just the collection of dead stars collecting in the orbit of another star destined to die, and by chance could support life, and by more chance produced it. And through the right conditions and billions of years, the human species was born, and through chance and learning and more time, I was born, and through more chance and time, I find love, it might not be the first or the last time, but I found it.

 

Goddamn that's ****** amazing.

[Dobbysaurus]

No, your not boring Dobby. Are you nice though? I'm not so sure.

 

 

 

I've always been nice to you! Except for that one time I left you in Jurassic Park, but that was an accident. I'm just playfully mean sometimes. 

 

I'm only truly mean to people who deserve it, or to my sister and brother.

So the fact that your brain will act like you are a drug addict and override the logical parts of your brain involuntarily so that you don't think straight when you are in romantic love which facilitates sex and subsequent reproduction is beautiful ? 

 

I do not find the idea that something that needs to deceive you and override your logic in order to be take place to be beautiful. I find it deceiving and illusory. 

 

To me, the desire to mate is no different than the desire to defecate or to urinate. They are biological functions that I have to study and to deal with as efficiently as possible, not one I would glorify and construct cultural memes around.

You are not alone unless you choose to live in a forest. You still have friends, you have lovable animals, you have your family and other people around you. You just don't get into a romantic relationship with a girl.

 

It is quite fascinating to me how people equate lack of romantic relationships as forever alone. It shows to me that these types of people cannot stand on their own as individuals and turn romantic relationship into the crux of their lives as opposed to a luxury item or an optional extra. 

 

It's because going out with the boys for some beers isn't the same kind of companionship as waking up next to a lovely lady.

 

Some people want the companionship that only a romantic relationship can provide. There's nothing wrong with that, and the right girl can make you a lot happier than your friends can even if there is a greater risk of being hurt.

 

Heavy risk and all that.

Yeah and?

 

It's called sobering fragility.

 

EDIT: On top of that, the brain just plain isn't wired for logical thought.

Heavy risk...but the PRIZZEE...?

 

I know there was a reason you used Kasumi as your avatar...

I'd go out with Kasumi easily =P

 

and I'm sure there's a really cheesy line involving the theft of one's heart in there.

 

and probably a few other things.

Life without love or meaningful sex...sounds so depressing. No amount of good friends, family, or cute fuzzy pets will give me the same satisfaction of sharing my life with someone I love. 

 

But if it works for some people...well good for them.

Whoa, that's not to do with whether nice gals really exist or not...

 

Does this have something to do with the wall of text wars going on in this thread?!

 

Cause I can't do walls of text without my grappling hook and I left it at home in my other, other pair of pants.

I'm guessing it's just the same when you eat, then? You mash it all into a uniform, easy to digest paste and just gulp it down? What about sleep? You look for the nearest tree trunk?

The brain does not exist for the sole purpose of rational thought. As a writer, I actually find the notion quite ridiculous.

Yep. I'm just adding my 2 cents.

I think we left "do nice girls exist" behind a few pages ago.

 

This is now just about love and relationships in general.

There was a guy who found a way to get all the nutrients he needs just from a single very disturbing sounding drink. He could try that.

 

and hell, as a programmer I find the notion ridiculous that the brain exists for the sole purpose of rational thought.

Wow reading these last few pages......... Bunch of Sheldons and Spocks in this joint.

Can I be the Doctor?

 

I think I'm already at least partially a mad man.

 

I just need a box that's bigger on the inside and a screwdriver.

Sure the Doctor actually knows what love and emotion and happiness is.

I've never considered staying single all my life. What then would be the purpose of it all?
Maybe just need to settle for mediocrity.

[Jstatham1227]

love is all I need. Sex is like a bonus for me frankly. lel

You could devote yourself to your hobbies or your work or to a cause like joining altruistic organizations to help with something or you can spend your time understanding the world or travelling it. 

 

Asking what is the purpose of being a lifelong bachelor is asking what is the purpose of choosing to be a free man. You do pretty much anything you like. No one will stop you. 

 

Always wanted that awesome sports car ? Or that quad-SLI GTX Titan triple monitor setup ? Or the insanely awesome home theater setup ? Or that huge collection of comic books ? Or to travel around the world ? Or to understand how modern astrophysics work ? Great, just save money and buy it or buy things to learn about it. You don't have worry about girlfriends or relationships to make a compromise.

"Hmm, I guess I forgot to sharpen it. I'll try something else," stated Pinkie matter-of-factly as she tossed the knife over her shoulder, embedding the blade in the table. Through the haze of pain and tears, Dash heard the sound of a metal box opening and closing.

"Got it! Say Dash, why do they call it a hack saw? It doesnt hack; hacking is what I was doing with the knife. This is a saw. I dont get it."

Pinkie placed the tool over the mangled flesh of the last attempt. Standing on her hind legs, she worked the saw back and forth with her front hooves. It sliced effortlessly through the bone and skin. The feeling of the jagged teeth grinding into her made Dash want to vomit. She watched numbly as her wing few over her head and landed with a fluff on the table. Pinkie moved to the next wing and started sawing. Dash didnt struggle this time; she'd given up trying to fight and focused on choking back screams of agony.

Abruptly, the saw paused. Pinkie was only half way done, th ewing hanging off by a sliver.

"Hey Dash," pinkie piped up. "Think fast!"

Suddenly, pinkie yanked the wing as hard as she could. The bone snapped but the blue pony's skin held, then tore away. The pull ripped away a ong strip of flesh all the way down Dash's back to her rump. Her body seized at the unexpected trauma. As her pelvis tensed up, Dash felt a warm release between her legs, and her loud, unending melody of pain filled the room.

Unable to catch her breath, she blacked out.

Even worse, fanfiction about MLP sex.

Nah MLP mutilation.

 

It's poorly written too.

 

It's a very Jeager post, pointless and poorly written.

You should be a eunuch.

 

I preferably like genitals.
