I was sondering about this yesterday.

My last girlfriend, before she met me, had signed up for one of those Chemistry/eHarmony/Match.com sites.

She told me she had a few dates and they were catastrophes. They had nothing in common. And she paid money for this!

I'll bet not one person out of ten thousand finds a mate on these sites.

Out of curiosity I once took the test at Chemistry.com. They asked questions about the ratio of my ring and index finger (men have longer ring fingers due to testosterone in the womb). I consider such a ratio irrelevant in a relationship.

They asked one question each about politics and religion -- which I have found to be exremely important in relationships.

I'll bet the owners of these sites are making millions off of lonely desperate people. i'll bet they pay for a month and then let it lapse. But if people are signing up every day, well, there is a sucker born every minute.

i'll bet I could do a better job as a matchmaker than these people.

On the topic of dating sites, it's a place for people begging to have smoke blown up their butts.

I'm outgoing and have hundreds of friends.......yeah, that's why you can't find a date.

I'm a real hottie.......just look at that graduation picture from two decades back.

I'm proportionate........once the pictures are elongated in photoshop.

I'm active........when I'm not popping ho-ho's in my mouth with eyes glued to a reality tv marathon.

Oh, and I NEVER get angry or tell a lie.......nope, not even one.

With the games going on these days I couldn't imagine being in the dating world. The entire idea of human emotions and closeness seem almost laughably anathema to many singles that I know. Well, that's what they say anyway. What a cold, cold brave new world is being created.

It's very hard for people to find a relationship with another when they don't even know thy self. And, if they did know thy self, then they wouldn't have any problem with spending some time alone until the right person comes along rather than having to have another person around to "complete" them.

Sigh.

The soul-mate stuff is the one that really, really gets me.

lol........if Carl Jung was correct, then all 6.6 billion of us are soul mates. People fall for this "soul mate" bit hook, line and sinker, but, between you and I, it's mostly desparation and lust, not a spiritual aspiration.

I think I must respectfully disagree. I have met two or three women, unfortunately already married, with whom there was an indefinable difference I just felt immediately comfortable and it was reciprocated. Like two halves that fit together. No, I think the concept valid but too often desperation and lust are accepted as a substitute for the real thing. I have noticed it as well in some older couples and when one dies the other, unless they're tough and independent as well, usually does not live another full year.

I always feel this about my pets OI....does that make them all my soul mates? : )

I think the concept is overused, abused and over applied. Although, I too have known older couples who by actions and deeds demonstrated the concept better than any I've ever heard speak of it.

I was a hospice volunteer for a woman with Alzheimer's. Really more of a helper and friend to her husband who insisted on lovingly caring for her at home. When I began, the two had been married for 62 years and I was fortunate enough to be of small assistance for the following two years.

Of course, her condition worsened. But, each day he cared for her with such love and patience. Although she wasn't physically responsive, you could actually see her spirit respond to her devoted husband. They had three adult children, who eventually insisted that she be put in a home against his adament wishes, in fact he went after his daughter with a knife when she pushed this upon him. And this sweet, sweet man, had nary a mean bone in his body. He just had no way to defend against their insistance on separating he and his wife. This, sadly, broke all the child/parent bonds. S

She died within two weeksof separation from her devoted husband, despite having been deemed quite healthy just two weeks prior with never even one bed sore in all the time her cared for her. One month later, he followed her and he had very few health problems to speak of, other than the fact that he didn't want to live without his sweetheart.

As the proud guardian of two affectionate feline friends I can sympathize.

Well my kitties are my little friends. I don't think of them as "property", although in the eyes of the law they are, but as non-human companions whom I love. It is a matter really of viewpoint. One "owns" things, however a furred friend is a responsibility and a comfort. My little Tia-dorable is currently napping on my shoulder as I write.

I guess that is where I depart from a "pure" "modern" Libertarian philosophy, which often eschews responsibility, and remain a PaleoLibertarian i.e., that I view ownership, control, and responsibility as co-equals. If you diminish one you diminish the others. If you increase one you increase the others. Much the same as operates Knowledge, Responsibility, and Control. One cannot be responsible for something they do not Control, and they cannot control that which they do not have knowledge of. Again they are mutually dependent - increase one and it raises the others and vice versa.

that's very cute! i too view our dog as part of the family- we call her our daughter...lol. it's just that the contingent that generally refers to pet owners as 'guardians' are control freak leftists, who seek to change the law so that a animal is indeed not property. they are a dreadful lot.
