Why must I follow the overly complicated dating rules. There
Like running in circles what to say, how to say it and better not
Be yourself if you're different it's nothing but a game to play
. I am tired of dealing with these idiotic standards. It's
So double standard I can't stand it. Am I the only one?

Don't. Anyone who wants you to play dating games isn't worth dating.

Are you sure you're dealing with games, though, and not just normal human interaction where you're missing cues or far more literal than most?

Double standard unlike double penetration doesn't feel good and is just hypocrisy and in this case sexist towards men. I don't engage in such an activity. You must be pretty desperade.

Most of what is considered normal human interaction - interactions among NTs, because most humans are NTs - is an irrational game. Normal unequals good, right and the thing to do, because you cannot derive an is from an ought and normal is a quantitative assertion.

I probably don't understand why we do things but I know the reasons. In my mind I consider games is just lies (should of been more specific). I want this but I'm gonna be picked on if I don't conform to my peers for example. I just am tired of dealing with 70% of people that are liars, theives or just ignorant. Ijust can't trust anyone. We are to emotionaly unstable.

I totally agree with the first point and also with the importance of the question.

The stuff about never call back to early, etc. or "train your man like a dog" etc is all rubbish, but respecting social conventions when you first meet people is not a game, even if parts of what they are doing are hard to sense.

Saying it's meaningless is like saying someone speaking Finnish is just making sounds, just because you don't speak Finnish. What you need is a translator, not to dismiss the Finnish speaker as an idiot.

No, that's not true.

I don't think the ordinary institutions of human life could function without the sort of unspoken-you-know-what-I-mean stuff that most people do, simply because spelling EVERYTHING out is unbelievably tedious, timeconsuming, and still open to wild misinterpretation. (Just look at the arguments that go on here.) I used to grade engineering students' lab reports, and if we had to rely on them to spell everything out verbally, holy crap, there's not a bridge you'd be willing to cross. These kids could not communicate on paper. Frightening. And yet the bridges stay up, usually for decades. They function using large, large chunks of convention.

It's irrational if it's invisible to you. But that's not their fault, no more than the fact that you don't go around all the time thinking about how to take a step before you do it.
