I've come to realize only all women have soulmates. While only most men do, leaves a lot of men who won't ever have love. 1/8 of billions of men is still a lot of lonely men.

Oh, that!. I'd say that there is roughly a 1 in 4 chance of any two random people feeling some kind of a mutual connection with each other at the same time. You'll have it one day!
Just really very curious- where do you get the 25% figure from? totally random?
Boolean Logic:

A feels spark + B feels spark
A feels spark + B feels nothing
A feels nothing + B feels spark
A feels nothing + B feels nothing

Note that the first case is 1 case out of 4 cases. Of course, this does not necessarily mean that 1 out of every 4 people is your "Soulmate", but that there is a 1 in 4 chance that any random person whom you feel a 'spark' for will feel the same way toward you at the same time.

I believe in Fnord's first definition, but I'm unsure about the second. It's never sat right with me to believe that we're born incomplete and in need of attaching to a specific other person in order to be whole.

But we can be complete and need another person to be whole.

Doesn't make any sense to me. If something is not whole, that means all the parts that make it what is or is supposed to be aren't there. By definition, it's incomplete.

A puzzle that's not whole is missing pieces. It's not a complete puzzle if it's 99 out of 100 pieces.

What I mean is that your soul can be complete in that it's a spiritual being, but in order to become whole you need to do certain things and learn things that you've never learned before as a human. Does that make sense or am I just confusing you?

That makes a little more sense, yeah. I think it's a terminology thing.

I'm guessing what you're referring to is that in order for a soul to fully develop all parts of itself, there are people it needs to meet and things it needs to do with a soulmate being one of those?

Yes, that's exactly it.
I often ramble on about spiritual and metaphysical concepts, so if I ever start making little sense, just tell me.

No worries, I tend to ramble, too, or post on very little sleep. :P

I believe the term originates from the magic realism and romanticism of our biological desires..I do however believe that some people can think in parallel line with each other.

I definitely believe that people can experience deja vu as a result of parallel or alternative universes that they may have experienced and think alike.

I believe that one tiny change in our lives can draw diverging lines and that it can create an alternate reality, even the tiniest change could draw a line that we have not walked. I believe that is why people experience a certain sense of deja vu, they are experiencing something that may have happened in an alternative reality or parallel universe.

Many complex systems and events depend on the tiniest of factors and variables, any small change could drastically change the outcome of how something. Some people believe that ghosts or strange happenings are nothing more than people slipping into our reality from meta-universes or other dimensions. Another theory is that parallel universes exist in different dimensions, either higher or lower than the fourth dimension world we live in.

I believe that it is a theory that is backed by scientific research as, they are always uncovering new research and evidence.

No, and I don't believe most of what you see of 'love' is love, because humans are slaves to their instincts.

So much of it is vanity, take away the material things and it breaks.

TBH, I think humans deserve each other, so maybe I do? They seem like a perfect fit, vain people for other vain people.

Yes, love can be a selfish and a vain reflection for approval..but there are also types of love that can be selfless and altruistic in nature. Many people choose to be vegetarian because they realize all life is equal and deserving of universal love, that is an altruistic act in itself.

I certainly do not measure or gain from people for what I can take from them..sure, some relationships are a mutually beneficial exchange that involve leverage but that is how relationships and allegiances work.

My father certainly was not a slave to his instincts when he worked every single day to provide for his family and many people have to make sacrifices every day because they realize the greater good of building something with a foundation. That is how a relationship works, why do you expect something for nothing or everything on a platter?
