Is forcing yourself to find a partner in life any good?

Loneliness

Seems to be a major issue these days and finding a partner in life seems to be the only sane, long term cure. Also we often feel that there needs to be someone besides us so we can strive harder to achieve the things we want in life. Someone that will shorten the way towards happiness and overall a good life.
As I always say, life is meant to be shared as an experience, sadly the search for a partner nowadays has been bombarded with tons of social conditioning, which fuses into personal conditioning.


Too much criteria

Are used to find the so-called "perfect person".
First of all, let's begin with the fact that the main criteria which 90% of society has with finding a partner is the BODY, this is one third of the whole human complex. This means either one follows his sensory reception or he follows his heart by looking at the mind and spirit too.
On a deeper level the BODY criteria can be divided into other case specific sections, making the whole concept even harder.

Looking only at the body criteria isn't a crime and works out in some cases because like attracts like, therefore people with similar interests will eventually find each other, but the main issue is rather sustaining a relationship based on 1/3 of the whole picture. In most cases things never work out, leading to a resentment and judgemental outcome of the latent unseen aspects of the person we so much liked at the beginning.
Afterwards this leads to other phenomenon like: being demoralized, depression, lack of self worth or over self worth, hatred towards opposite gender, resentment.
These are some of the things that are derived from unhealthy relationships.


The Bigger Picture

Would be to find someone who matches mind, body and spirit requirements.
Of course, this makes things even harder but at the end you will be in the most healthy relationship ever, something like having an extension of yourself. The mind will help you reach your goals, the body will bring you pleasure and the spirit will uplift you even in the darkest of hours. From my personal perspective, whom ever restricts my lifestyle isn't meant for me as we obviously are walking different paths.

Hey Vangelov,

Keep it up, I enjoy your posts. I see you working diligently every day.

As for the contents of your post, western society has completely lost the plot with regards to mating/dating. Feminism has lied to and corrupted women into thinking they can have a full home-family life and a career. It doesn't work that way (men never had it either).

As a result, women put off any meaningful relationships until they are about to lose their looks (or already have). Why enter into monogamy, when you can open Tinder and have 20 different options any night?

They never see the fact that the tide turns around 30 to no longer be in their favor, and the men they now want are off looking for the 20-year-old versions of them are aren't a drag with kids from some baby daddy.

As a result, you get men committing suicide because they have no reason to live - no family, no genetic legacy. Now we have a western world full of pathetic beta male nice-guys.

Ok that was greatly put together, sadly you are beyond right here.. I've always told myself that there is an open world that is free to roam. Sitting in one place, contemplating never ever does anything.
Otherwise the more you force yourself to find beautiful girls to sleep with, the more blinded you shall be in the future.

Thanks for the comment it was quite nice to read.:)

I was speaking recently with a friend of mine about these things, as she is involved at the moment in a relationships that isn't really working and brings her little joy. At some point she said "I'm terrified of being alone"! It was a shock to me. I think we must all be prepared to find ourselves alone at some point. Children grow up and leave, partners might also leave or just die, we all do eventually. If you cannot face the idea of being by yourself it seems to me you're not happy who you are or how you've lived your life.

Yeah i must agree.. I've had issues with staying with myself for quite some time. But at the end you see that you are never alone.. Im sitting in my room here now by myself, but there you are, having a discussion with me :)

Hope you and yourself come to some sort of understanding :) It's not good when you have issues with your own self, but admitting to them and trying to fix them is better than denying their existence.

Yes, spot on, just read this after i replied myself, mastering loneliness and finding yourself fully in this is the key to step out...

Following your reflecting posts, another nice one, thanks.
There is something very beautiful in loneliness and it is the essence to find before entering a relation, 2 full cicles, not 2 half ones making a full one, that's the formula...

Amazingly said.. I will remember that! My whole article put into one line

Very well said..

Ok I will once i get back to

cool. hope to see you in there )

Nice post! Interesting way of thinking... Loneliness is definitely a wrong reason to go into a relationship, however, a lot of people would rather stay in an unhealthy relationship then be alone...
