OpposingOpposum replies on Mar 4, 2018:

@Silver1wun I've read just a bit about it and I know a handful of poly couples. I am by no means an expert. From what I've seen though it's an A) an answer to the problem of how to maintain relationships long term and B) all about consent and communication. We all know that more than half of all marriages fail and we all know that infidelity is one of the most common reasons. Poly couples acknowledge that one can be attracted to and maintain relationships with more than one individual. So when a new relationship is formed the old one is not thrown out like yesterdays trash but allowed to grow and evolve. One of the things I personally find very attractive about the practice is the respect and space accorded to each partner. There seems to be so much communication and care taken not to transgress one another's boundaries. Everything is discussed and everyones feelings and thoughts are considered. There are all types of poly relationships but the ones I've personally been witness to are most definitely not helter skelter jumping into bed with random people. Partners are carefully chosen and vetted. The process generally seems to take longer than forming a relationship (in the usual way)does because there are multiple people involved and the relationships are carefully organised to reflect that.

OpposingOpposum replies on Mar 4, 2018:

@orange_girl neither do I but the fact remains that they aren't our children. In a free and open society everyone should be allowed to believe and rear their children as they see fit,so long as it isn't harming those children. Now harm is where it gets sticky. I will state again that attempting to regulate what people may think or say or teach their children is a censorious and fascist course of action,no matter who is doing it or why.

@icolan no Sir the original statement was "I do so think that Atheists tend to think that religion is not all bad". Further down in the comments I was asked what makes religion not all bad in my opinion. I answered. Now you and orange girl and a couple others have been moving goal posts,implying that I'm somehow not a "real"atheist because I don't agree with you 1000 percent and generally not making a lot of sense.

@GoldenDoll I am well aware that it's what religion has been used for,yes. Religion was invented because people had questions they couldn't answer. It is a tool,like language or an axe. What you make of it is what's important. The tool itself is not inherently evil. So long as we're focusing on irrelevant problems we'll never get to solving relevant issues. Religious,not religious let it rest. Let's talk about real world effects and questions and problems that are solvable.

The first woman to tell me she needed space put me in foster care with the assurance that it was only temporary and that I would come home. A year later she tells me that she signed the papers releasing me for adoption... over the phone ... and that it was always her intention but that she wanted ...

I am so sorry that happened to you.

You forgot about Hozier didn't you? All you think of is yourself!

I love that dude and that's a killer tune. You should listen to his tiny desk concert.

That kid is phenomenal. I have an entire playlist of his stuff I listened to on repeat for a solid month.

How do you define the "friend-zone"

OpposingOpposum comments on Mar 2, 2018:

It's entitlement at its worst. No one owes you anything,particularly not their time or affection. If YOU have feelings for someone,those are YOUR feelings and your responsibility. It has literally nothing to do with the object of your affection and they have absolutely no obligations toward you.

OpposingOpposum replies on Mar 2, 2018:

@JohnnyMiller it absolutely applies to women as well. "I seent it!". It's something people do. It's also something people shouldn't. Like I said,your feelings are your own responsibility. Someone leading you on is something else entirely. For instance there was a girl on here the other night who said she'd met someone she really liked but wasn't attracted to him. I imagine she'd been stringing the poor guy along when there was never any hope.

Why is it in so many profiles that men insist women be physically fit when they themselves aren't?

The fact that nobody will ever find out that I cry myself to sleep

At that age she doesn't really know what she is.

OpposingOpposum replies on Mar 2, 2018:

People know who they're attracted to especially around that age. I wouldn't doubt her, I'd just accept it and move on.

Why Men Get Insulted When Women Agree With A Compliments

hankster comments on Mar 2, 2018:

it sounds ridiculous that fellas would act this way, but that should be no surprise. on the bright side? could this behaviour help weed out the boys from the men with minds?

OpposingOpposum replies on Mar 2, 2018:

@hankster yep. That wasn't directed AT you. It's just a point that I felt needed made. *Looks around suspiciously* There are other people listening :)

OpposingOpposum replies on Mar 2, 2018:

@hankster there are a lot of things we don't see simply because of who we are. That's why it's important to listen when others talk about their experiences and not write those experiences off because"that never happens to me".

Brenda, what did you do?

its natural for men to want to fuck woman

OpposingOpposum replies on Mar 2, 2018:

OK but why does wanting to have sex with someone rule out friendship? It happens or doesn't for whatever reason but I simply don't get why it's a friendship killer. Unless that's the only reason you like the person in the 1st place.

arnies comments on Mar 2, 2018:

I don't quite agree with your definitions for kind and nice. Here is more like I think it goes... Being "nice" is a course of action, it does not ascribe any specific reason. It is an action. Sometimes people are nice because they want something, and sometimes they are nice because they ...

Absolutely. Another thing is that you hear men claim that the wage gap is because women aren't assertive enough but any woman who is assertive is a "bitch" or a "real cunt".

A, I'm much too nice. Women like jerks. B. Women aren't really wired to love anyone but themselves and maybe their offspring. When it comes to men they are just collecting resources. They're like cats. You might think they love you. But if you die and they go hungry for a day or two they will ...

OpposingOpposum replies on Mar 2, 2018:

@MarqG what you think of others isn't a reflection of them it's a reflection of yourself. Women are most definitely NOT as you describe them. I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that's who you are. The fact that you say you're "nice" while having that opinion of women makes zero sense.
