would a communist style dating system work?

And the trains ran on time.

I would see an nazism-dating as we exterminate all douche bags,jerk and theses all indiserables insects of dating

If everyone is average, are we all awesome or are we all losers?

"From each according to his looks, to each according to his sexual needs!" - Karl Marx

No, everyone would be oppressed.


Haven't you ever heard of "Adultery"? It's where a married person has sex with at least one other person that he or she is not married to.


That's just human nature, which Communists hope to "evolve" out of humanity in just one generation.


No. Labels don't change human nature - you can call geeks and jocks "equal", but the geeks will still lose to the jocks at dodge-ball.


That's just human nature.


To whom? Maybe under the law (which they already are), but in they eyes of the beholder? Not a snowball's chance in Hell.


No, people will still have their opinions. Only the Law would consider them equal.


Or else ... what? Forced mutilation? 20 years in an Arctic Gulag?

Face it, kid; this is a stupid idea. You just can not legislate the concept of "beauty". The law can only force people to marry someone they don't like, it can not make some dog-faced troll attractive by merely saying that they're attractive.

Communism is a failure, anyway.

Harrison Bergeron as an aspirational story. That's a new one.

[It's a sci fi story by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. that posits just such a society as billiscool wants. In the story, this is considered a dystopian, not utopian society.)

No, that would not work. What if, as a zeta male, I got paired with a sorority girl/alpha female whom I hated? I would dump her and date a zeta female who made me happy.

A better, fairer system would be actual Communism where wealth is not a factor, personal styles and entertainment culture are limited, and the culture values things like academic achievement and, after that, public service above all. You can't directly legislate the concept of beauty and attractiveness but you can create the right incentives to create a fairer and more socially useful standard.

What we need is more sophisticated and centralized methods for finding people just like us. Ultimately, that is the problem for a lot of us: there are plenty of both men and women who have difficulty finding partners who are sufficiently like us for a relationship to work. For the typical NT, culture, family background, and geographic proximity are good indicators. For us, these things just aren't nearly sufficient because we cannot conform to our environment. We must find an environment conformed to us.

We just have trouble finding each other. The internet helps a little bit for those of us who are quirky and have special needs, but it's not sufficient in its current form at all.

CC me on that.

In order for everyone to be seen as equal to everyone else; everyone would have to be exactly the same as everyone else & not have any form of individuality. This could work in science fiction if they reproduce by cloneing

How would you even engineer this expirament in the first place?

Have every woman get radical plastic surgery to look like Beyounce, or Shania Twain, or J-lo, or whomever ?

And then have every guy be issued a Ferrarri ?

Or we could go the less expensive route. Maybe you just pull names out of a hat.

Whomever's name you got, as long as its not your own sibling, thats whom the dating commissar assigns to you as your steady bf or gf? Is that the sort of thing you had in mind?

Commie dating would work initially then unintended consiquences would turn up.

Clone would lead to mutations.
