To find a mate, one must market themselves much like a product to fill the needs of the buyer. You are never loved only owned until you are no longer filling needs or have more adverse than benefits to another. Then you are thrown away or replaced.professor

If one is lonely....the other fills the needed not to be. If one is pretty....does it not fill the eyes of another to pleasure....when gone do they not look elsewhere. If one is sweet...does this not fill the desire to be treated sweetly.....when stopped do they not find another. People are attracted to another for their own self interest and desires....fullfilled in them. When they grow together it is still for self interest....they still fill needs inside the other....if they do not.......replaced or dump.


I love because I can give and I can make life better for another....because I care..........But I know that I (myself) will never be loved for me......only that I can provide in filling the selfishness of another. I do not believe I will ever have one of my nature in love, friendship or in no more than humanity. I am alone in all respects and will remain so. If I want friends or family or love.....I must rent it for a time until no longer able to fill anothers need.

Hi Rilly,

I dont agree with you... you are loved by your good friends.. and never replaced... if it weren't so ... why do we go to funerals and sob... and think about that person often... there must have been a connection to be able to mourn for a lost person.. whether they died or just went off.wave wave

A man and wife are to be one flesh in all respects......but there are none able for lack of knowing the true aspects of love.....it is a lost thing to time and the selfishness of mankind.

i agree with u in most part but your philosophy gets jilted toward the end,as much as u think u are correct in 'filling the selfishness of another',u never know (as all us)who & what type partner u will acquire...u may get somebody with exactly same line of thinking as yourself & will try fullfilling your selfishness to please u??our fates are all unknown so it only hypathetical what we all assume... conversing thumbs up cool

You mean the good friends who will hate you because you need the money back you loaned them....for as little as five dollars. One friend killed another (long time friends) here over a sausage. A man killed his brother over a deer rifle.......when you are down and need help from those you helped greatly for years.......you are out of luck my friend........each friend in life will cheat you out of about an average of $1000.

Do love ones sob for the dead or their own lose....their own need no long filled. A man dies....the first thing a woman thinks is......whats going to happen to ME!!!!! What as family and friend fight over the goods of the dead and stage themselves for free stuff.....even on the day they died. I have seen it many many times. We delude ourselves about others loving us. They remember us for what we did for them....made them laugh...etc.. We become stories to tell or someone to judge for their amusement.

The ability to love another is rare.........but they too are drawn by self interest. true love is when two become one flesh...one person....one spirit. Today it never happens in the most part.....each seek their own and love another for giving it for as long as it last. If it was different.....divorce would not happen.

Baby_Monkey: I do.


I know a few couples who are so well suited, their relationship seems pre-destined. I'd like to think there is a perfect guy for me...a perfect person for everyone, for that matter.

The Germans have a saying about soul-mates I heard once, which roughly translates into English as "If you are stuck at the bottom of the ocean cold and alone, your perfect match will swim down to find you." It's a nice thought.....but what about the people who die single and alone? What happened to their soul-mate? Did they make wrong choices? Did they mistake who their soul-mate was? This is what makes my brain hurt about the whole soul-mate theory.

Do you believe in soul-mates?

Absolutely not , I believe that we're born into this world alone,
walk this planet as individuals, and go out on our own. But thats no to say that we can't develop some great friendships, enjoy the good things life has to offer, and share intimacies with those of our choosing along the way. A love that lasts a lifetime is a rare thing, especially in this current day and age, grin
