I genuinely wonder what your problem is. Truly.

Besides the fact that you're being incredibly sexist, you're delivering a weak version of my argument.

Surprisingly enough, sometimes people don't care about warts and birth marks, or even monetary value. Sometimes they care about the fact that the person they're in love with has the same hobbies as them, or is willing to listen and solve problems with a level head.

Jesus...I don't even know what else to say to you, it seems like you're beyond salvation. Refer to what I just said. In case you missed it, here it is again:

    good luck being in a solid, fruitful relationship, I guess?

Sometimes, but I notice you didn't say usually.

And therein lies the problem ;)

So correct me if I'm wrong here, you're saying people care about birthmarks and warts and monetary value more than emotional compatibility. In general. As a whole.

And I said "sometimes" in a sarcastic manner, in order to emphasize that what you're saying is...well...stupid.

And here's a winky-face since apparently that's what we're doing. ;)

I wonder if the average person would agree that if something is used as an example, then there are no other concrete things outside of those specific examples.

I wonder if it's possible that the set of things a person will refuse to couple with someone over is much larger than birthmarks and warts.

weird.

I also wonder why only the rich guys seem to date the women 30-40 years their junior. Emotional compatibility I'm guessing...

There's your version of reality, and then there's society. Lets just say your version of reality isn't the reason your parents fucked and had you.

Assuming my parents are American and lived in an American society with American values. The ones that you seem to think are the reason why they decided to have me.

Assuming you know my parents.

Assuming you know anything about me, which is a problem that you seem to have.

Hey buddy, don't drop a weak counterargument and then get mad when I address that weak counterargument.

mreiland, you poor, sweet, sexist summer child. I have nothing more to say to you, but I can only feel sorry for the people who have to know you in the physical world.

May your future complaints about Hubski on Hubski be long, annoying, and unfruitful.

Are you saying non-american countries don't have a society? That seems a bit egotistical and biased, don't you think?

I mean, I'm all for national pride, but the idea that speaking about society implies the US, or even just the America's seems pretty outlandish to me.

    Hey buddy, don't drop a weak counterargument and then get mad when I address that weak counterargument.

ok, lets use another example then. How many women do you think are going to date an impotent man who's income is below the poverty line? Weird how suddenly their emotional compatibility doesn't seem to be much of a factor.

Crazy how I could go for that one as an example too. Must be my weak-assed counter-arguments.
