Sad i don't have a sweetheart

Not going to lie, your mentality makes you sound like atrocious relationship material. You sound a lot better suited to flings than serious relationships.

That's fair enough. Perhaps with effort I can change.

Chicken heart meat tastes great with pomegranate molasses.

I have mixed feelings about your statement, while money has certainly bought me contentment, I don't think that you can buy contentment with the same surety with which you could readily buy happiness. Although it can certainly be used as a means to achieve it in the end.


I disagree, money literally does buy happiness, I've seen it work both in practice and theory, and I've even experienced it for myself.
I am a long time subscriber to the Money Buys Happiness worldview, but that doesn't mean that I don't believe that people can achieve happiness without money, I'm pretty sure there are people in this world that have said no to money and live perfectly happy lives. I've even heard of tribes of people that have never even seen money, and yet have achieved happiness.


5 Ways Money Can Buy Happiness, Backed by Science


You mean as opposed to hiring a professional to fix it, or just outright buying a replacement? There would be nothing wrong with it, so long as time were an infinite resource and/or money was finite, though that is not the case.

Money is an infinite resource, which is to say that everyone has the potential to earn a limitless supply of it.

Time on the other hand is a finite resource, no one really knows just how much of it they have left, but once it's gone, it's gone. The number of people who die before achieving everything they wanted to achieve in life is astronomical.


If you think that's atrocious, I wonder just how poorly your thoughts must be of me.

Wb!

Not sticking around.

In my experience it doesn't buy happiness, granted I've never had a lot to begin with...but I can never say I've been happy because of money. Maybe things you can get with it can contribute to happiness, but I don't achieve happiness solely from material stuff. If I had all the material stuff in the world but lost everyone I care about I wouldn't be happy for instance.

Most people genuinely in a relationship, while notice other women, don't think now I can't date any other women. They usually think about how lucky they are to be with their gf/wife.

Sly seems to be of the same train of thought as I have here:


I just can't imagine this mindset of thinking about how much you wish you could date other people while already in a relationship is in anyway healthy. I'd be really upset if I had a partner and I discovered that's what they were thinking.

"In my experience it doesn't buy happiness, granted I've never had a lot to begin with...but I can never say I've been happy because of money.

Agreed. I'm of lower-middle class background so I learned to be satisfied despite lacking in money, and to take a more frugal and minimalist approach to living life.

They say it's better to spend money on experiences rather than materialistic things, a theory I strongly believe.

There are many experiences that can be done for free, without spending a single cent.

Also, if we did not live in a capitalist society but rather a communist or socialist one with no currency in which material items are equally distributed in exchange for work, one would learn it is not the money in itself that makes one happy, it is the items or experiences you can have with money.

If everything in life was 'free', in exchange for contribution, money wouldn't make us happy. Just how did previous humans of the past be happy without money? Simple, they were happy to have family, friends, weapons to help them hunt, a dead animal to cook, a warm fire and good wood to make it, fruits and vegetables plentiful to collect, etc.

Money isn't the entire car that takes you from point A to point B. It is just a piece of the car, other pieces being good health, good family and friends, a safe lifestyle, etc. Also, money is a part of the car that could be removed without affecting anything negatively. Motivation is the engine, self-control the steering wheel, wheels your family/friends, etc. Money is just one upgrade added to the car as part of condition of a capitalist society.

But we don't.

I'm not planning to date other girls, I'm just upset that she's not tall and skinny and not.

I'm not saying that guys should plan to date other girls while they're with the girlfriend, what I'm saying is that once you're in a committed relationship, you may lose many opportunities to date other women. What if you never notice the love of your life, because you're too busy doting on your girlfriend?

I thought well of you for a while, maybe I judged too fast and nurseangela was right.

That's ok, I hate me too.

If your girlfriend isn't the love of your life, why is she your girlfriend in the first place?

Don't hate yourself, it's useless. Just don't say stuff like that you're upset 'cause she's not tall and skinny, it makes no sense. None forced you into that relationship, also it is kinda sad that you value a partner mosty for showing her off like a trophy. Are you happy with her? If she's your partner and she makes you happy you should value her more than what some s**thead may or may not think. It is not really healty for the relationship to see your woman as a failure in your life.
