Just when I was hoping this thread would die...

Meaningful relationships =/= love. Check my previous posts for why I think some couples stick together. Also, the divorce rate have increased since parents and grandparents. This is what the data available says.

It's sexist to compare a woman to an inanimate object.  It would be like saying men or peanut butter?  

At first I thought Pristine simply had difficulty processing higher mental cognition. After all, someone who blindly spews garbage and defends it by saying hey its just my opinion can't be a very astute person. "Hey I think all black people should still be slaves but don't get mad at me it's just my opinion so my point is just as valid as yours." Or better yet, “Since the divorce rate has risen that means love doesn't exist, also this summer was really hot so the sun is getting hotter.” I mean any person with half a brain can see how the very core of Pristine's arguments are innately laughable and idiotic.

However after reading his last few posts I think I finally understand him and to be honest I feel sorry for him. He must be a very lonely and pathetic person to believe what he does. I guess the best we can hope for him is that something or someone brings him to his senses so that he doesn't live out the rest of his days as a socially degenerate loser.

You've given enough evidence in this thread to earn the title (like: The only thing keeping women in "check" is the fear of being branded "sluts" by society)...  then taking things a step further to make things too damn personal telling her that "You'll be rid of the "fairytales" soon enough", "You're no fairlytale" and much like outlaw said that's basically putting yourself above her and deciding that she somehow believes she has a good relationship because of social conditioning and fairytales... could it possibly be that two people actually care about each other (love) and you don't have the right to say something so personal to someone especially someone you don't know nor know her situation...  So really get over yourself, if you got opinions that's fine, but if you're going to say something like that to someone keep it to yourself...
