You know I write for this site, therefore I read around this site. Sometimes I even spy on other peoples ideas to play off them, not copy or anything, just get inspired myself. You know what I found the most of? Propaganda and "rules" for relationships...are you kidding
Everyones relationship is different because big surprise, everyone is different. I can't believe the stuff I read around here and other news sites. I know that the things the authors say are just general advice, but I fear that some people actually take that stuff to heart. I'm not picking on the authors or their pieces, just their thinking. Everyone has bias, obviously in editorial pieces, which is absolutely fine, but don't tell me my relationship isn't right because I don't feel the need to pick out every single thing about him and change it. Not that I want to, but it sickens me to think people actually do that crap. Newsflash...if you feel the need to change the person you are with, you shouldn't be with them to begin with!
Another thing I read is how unhealthy arguments are. You will never always agree, whether it be a tiny minuscule thing or a giant problem, people as a whole disagree. Why do you think us editorialist exist? So if you think arguing is unhealthy you need to take a reality check. You've argued with people all your life, parents, siblings, teachers, bosses ect, arguing with a significant other is bound to occur. Obviously if you're always at each others throats there is an issue, but a slight disagreement here and there is no reason to call Oprah for advice. Take a deep breath, stop being irrational and get over it.
Whoever decided that a first date should go a certain way should be punched. I hate cliche. Here's another solid tip, some girls don't like flowers, jewelry and all that other junk. Materialism rules the world, and you could probably guess I can't stand Valentines Day, but that's another article for another day. Get some creativity if you want to impress someone.
There's also this junk about cheating and why your other half did it. If you get cheated on and have to question for a second why it happened, you are a moron. I've been cheated on, I know why, he wasn't happy and wasn't smart enough to end it with me first. Does it suck? It does, but I got over it and so can you and you don't need a single-broken-bitter-mid 30's author to tell you how.
I love the ones "how to tell if she likes you". Really? That can be entirely misleading. If I bump into you with my shopping cart it doesn't mean I like you, it means I'm a klutz and I'm not paying any attention as to what I am doing. If I say hello in an elevator, I don't want to marry you, I'm polite and friendly. If I ask you to hand me extra napkins at the drive thru window, it doesn't mean I want you to touch my hand, it means I'm prone to spilling all over my sweatshirt. Who comes up with this crap?
I don't understand why there are "rules" to dating. It's 2009 people, let's move on with how things actually play out.
I just wish people would open their eyes and see the world of "love" as is, and not what they want to paint it to be, I know, the words of a true cynic.
