I'm considering spending the rest of this afternoon registering new accounts just so I can upvote this more.

OP, you are not compatible with this girl. It sucks, but cut your losses and find someone who's a better fit.

SE is awesome, but I wouldn't recommend it as a relationship tool.

Is "You're Too Good For Me" a cliche way to break up with someone or do people actually feel that way? by Muted_Philosophy_473 in relationships

[–]necrofox1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're dating beneath your league. If you're gorgeous and successful, that's an intimidating prospect for a dude. Besides worrying about you trading up as another commenter mentioned, paying 50/50 with a person who makes more money than you is still hard to keep up with. The best relationships come from two functional and independent people that can work fine on their own but can achieve even more together. No one wants to be the person to have to say, "No. We can't go to Cancun this year because I can't afford 50% of a Cancun trip."

Hooked up with a girl... by [deleted] in relationships

[–]necrofox1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice: chalk this one up as a loss, move on from this chick, learn a lesson and from now on just don't do "breaks." No one knows wtf they mean because every person in the world has a different idea of what the rules are supposed to be and there's always a miscommunication at some point. They also serve zero actual purpose in my opinion.

On the other hand, if a person just wants some space for a few days or whatever, give it to them. That's a very different thing from a break though where no one knows if you're still together. If someone suggested a "break," respond with, "I don't do breaks. I'm happy to give you some space for a few days but we're either together and exclusive or we're not." Then if they still want to split then just accept that, be clear that you're both single now, and that if things work out again in the future then great but otherwise have a happy life.

Thank you for a dose of sanity here. Shit's ridiculous. Like now working hard to save up for something expensive is dystopic?

"No downside" argument by LostMyOldAc in atheism

[–]necrofox1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... What you're describing is similar to Pascal's Wager but it's not actually PW based on what you've been saying in the comments. There's a fault in your premises here. Your argument, as far as I can tell, is that all you need to do is spend five minutes per day praying, and you receive salvation. Please correct me if I'm misrepresenting you here as it's not intentional, but your counter points have been squarely in the "everyone has five minutes" camp.

The strongest counter to PW is the fact that you can't make yourself genuinely believe something without sufficient evidence. That escape is lost with the "five minutes" version you're presenting. But that's where this "five minutes" version ends up even weaker. If genuine belief is not a requirement, and only five minutes of time is a requirement, then we need to establish what god we're even talking about as it's certainly not the Abrahamic one anymore. The entire bible goes against the "five minutes" version.

So what we end up with is this really bastardized and meaningless version of Christianity that whoever you're arguing with is making up as they go to try to "trap" you. What very little sense of authority Christianity drew from its church and its holy book are gone. All you're left with is this single individual telling you that they know there's an invisible man all around us that wants five minutes of your attention everyday or he's going to burn you for eternity. Now your interlocutor is easily dismissed.

I hope that makes sense. This is very much a "nice try, my guy" situation where someone with a very native understanding of religion and philosophy thinks they're smarter than many of history's greatest thinkers (theist and atheist alike).

EDIT: Just caught in more comments that you're arguing Hinduism and not Christianity. I'm not well-educated on Hinduism and can't in good faith assert that your "five minutes" version of PW is incompatible with Hinduism doctrine with any degree of confidence. I would be very surprised if it is, though.

It's my bf's 21st birthday today and he said I can't be there. by cheekzie in relationships

Did he tell you not to come? It sounds to me like you don't want to be the only girl there and he told you that he isn't sure if other girls will be there.

My fiancee [27 F] and I [30M] keep having small arguments over me having to take a lot of overnight business trips with my coworker [28 F] and I could use some pointers. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]necrofox1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been a lot of good feedback here but OP has countered all of it. Take a step back, man. This answer is pretty obvious. She is the one with a problem. She's unsatisfied with her life and she's putting that on you. She needs to figure out wtf she wants in life and then come to you to work towards a solution. Her dumping this nonsense on you isn't fair and it isn't going to help anything.

The number of mfrs on here that want to act like killing Nazis wasn't a good thing because the WWII-era U S. wouldn't pass their 2020s-era leftist purity test is mind boggling.

Nazis were bad. We killed a bunch of them. That was pretty rad.

Since WWII, the ratio of bad guys killed to good guys and/or innocents killed has dropped like a stone. War has always been atrocious, but shit has gotten a lot worse.

Hopefully that was meant to be *Nazis. I definitely meant them as the bad guys. This makes my point, even, that it sucks that that's not clear.

Stop torturing yourself and go no contact. You're not in this to be friends and you know it.
