I believe that romance and marriage are stupid, pointless wastes of time and that people are better off single. Romance does alot more harm than actual good considering how the majority of couplings end up as break-ups and divorces. I believe that romance should be abandoned all together because I think that people would be happier and more at peace. Is what I believe in normal?

    Maybe for yourself, but many can be really unhappy without romance. I don't think you should want to deny others of that. If a person thinks it's best for their happiness to be single, then they can do that. It's not like they're forced to go into a relationship.

      How would I deny someone of it? I didn't say I wanted to do that. All I was saying was that more people should be single.

        Oh, I just got that impression, with you saying romance should be "abandoned all together". What with it being "stupid" and "pointless wastes of time". Sorry if I misunderstood. Why should more people be single, though? If they don't want to be single, then they shouldn't have to be. Like I said, being in a relationship isn't forced on people.

          That's alright. To answer your question, more people should be single because of the risks and problems involved with romance. Relationships are very prone to failing and it would be beneficial to those to not go into it, just so they won't have to put up with any of it. Romance is one of those "Better Safe than Sorry" scenarios: being single would count as being safe and getting in a relationship would count as potentially being sorry and regretting the whole thing.

            Why romance, though?:S There are lots of things which involve the risk of getting hurt, do you suggest that we refrain from doing those too just to be "safe"? I agree that caution is a good thing, but still, that sounds a bit miserable. So, what are you even suggesting, that people stay single for their entire lives? When should they stay single? For how long? When would they be allowed to do what they want and get into a relationship?:P

              If more people decided to be single from the age they're old enough for romance to a permanent amount of time it would certainly be a plus since other positive things that people could obtain by being single is having no restrictions and having everything in their homes to themselves. I just think that they should reconsider romance but they can get into a relationship if they want. I just believe that there are better things to do with one's life than romance.

            You say that romance is dumb and creates a lot of damage. However if no one is getting together no one is having kids. At the moment most of the world is overpopulated yes. If everyone decided to stop at once that means no more children EVER. So who do you think is going to or suppose to take care of these children? Did you ever think of a solution for this. This was not thought out very well. Which scenario say will send the world into a state of panic.

              People don't neccessarily need to get together in a relationship to have offspring. There's sperm donation, IVF, surrogacy, prostitution, and artificial insemination. So no, the human race would not die off if people decided to not get in relationships. Romance is not a neccessity. As long as single folk have kids via the ways i listed there'd be no need for romance or marriage.

    Posts like this remind me of how much I love my husband and how lucky I am to have found such a relationship.

      Me too. I'm so sad for people who feel the way OP does. Maybe one day he/she 'll change his/her mind.

        I understand how people can feel that way. There are more bad examples of relationships that good ones. I believe my husband and I make a good example of one of the good ones. But yeah, it is sad that some people will never know what that means.

    I would agree because I didn't have a boyfriend until after high school and I was too shy to meet anyone except my best friend since kindergarten. He asked me out and I went with it, mostly because he's the only guy I will probably ever meet in my life time. That doesn't mean I don't love him. Just not the same way he loves me.

    What I've come to notice by sitting back and observing couples is that they tend to be very shallow. I know I'm going go get thumbed down big for this, but I'm speaking the truth. You all realize this, but no one on here would say it aloud.

    Sure, I see attractive women with less attractive men sometimes, but think about what that man is doing for that woman or how that woman views herself. I have never seen a freaking Calvin Klein model walking beside an ugly woman, and if he was, he's probably getting it on the side and soon will dump her for some young vibrant thang.

    Not just that, but most are centralized around sex. Sex is most of the focus and when someone gets too old and tired to give them "pleasure", the other one cheats. What is it with sex anyway? Why are so many people obsessed with it? It just takes beautiful love and turns it into vulgar nudity and foul bodily secretions. I get that it's in our anatomy for reproductive reasons and that's probably the only way I would ever use it, if I did.

    Let the siege begin! Come at me, lovebugs.
