Actually how about this…if I can get this case wrapped up that I’m working on, and you say you’ll go on a cruise, and you can get to new orleans, then we can use my casino offers and get on that shit cheap and give em hell all week lol it’ll be hilarious.
The current offer they’ve got for me is 199 bucks for 2 people, 500 onboard credit which can be used for gambling or drinking, and I’d have to sail before November. That’s on the ship out of new orleans. So they’ll basically pay me 300 bucks to get on the boat and I can bring a friend lol.
If I decided to travel anywhere long distance I’ve always wanted to visit New Zealand. It’s a beautiful island in terms of pristine natural environment.
That’s a hell of a flight to new zealand man. Why not go to Tristan Da Cunha? Or Tokyo? Or I dunno man…New Orleans is a long way from you, and that’s a gritty bad ass place. You can get into all kinds of trouble there and not get into trouble for it…if that makes sense. Mexico is pretty shitty. Even the nice parts, but you can have a lot of fun in shitty places if you know how. I’ve been down there to 3 or 4 different places maybe 5 or 6 times, and to this day I’ve yet to see a donkey show. When you ask, it’s like they get offended. I dunno. Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic is loaded with seedy types, pimping each other and selling all sorts of shit that you wouldn’t typically find so easily in a lot of places, and you can get rooms there for cheap. Why New Zealand? It’ll take a long time to get there man, both on the plane, and in terms of getting together that much loot. You could bounce around some bad ass places and become a seasoned traveler and then go to New Zealand like a boss. Shit man. Go to Miami. South American women are not like these white bitches. It’s a whole different scene with the hos. Like the Puerto Ricans in Queens. Man…don’t even get me started.
You could get an app called credit karma, and figure out your credit score, then if it’s high enough, or if not, get it high enough to get a credit card that pays you airline miles as reward points, then book short trips on the airline it’s from and get the double points, then pay it off every month and never give em any interest, then just sit back and watch the miles accumulate and then you could get that flight to new zealand a lot quicker. Man some of em have crazy bonus miles like 20000 for getting the card, 50000 more if you spend x amount in the first 3 billing cycles. Double miles if you book on their airline. I had a friend who flew out of town every 2 weeks for work, and I said, “dude I can just book your flights and save you the trouble man I’ll send you the eticket to your email nothing to worry about” and I booked so many flights for that dude on the airline that the card was associated with that I got a shit ton of miles. I’m shooting for a big trip sometime next summer and hopefully I’ll get the flight for free. I did the same thing wqith expedia points for a long time and have racked up thousands of em. It’s just a matter of time before I cash all that shit in.
But they are not responsible for this, since it is the cockroach part of the brain that determines such things, the deep unconscious issues that control who one want to have sex with and be with.
So you, Platopuppy, do not get angry at women for not choosing you, for example, when they do not, since you know they are not responsible.
Some women look for things like leadership and intellect and most importantly, she must respect the man, in fact I think respect comes before love.
Money, represents power and security and some women will be very “sexually” attracted to a man of “status”. Attracted, but not necessarily love.
The question should be asked, why are those men any different to this type of woman. Men who “value” a woman with specific physical attributes. Is there really any difference between the men and women who put a monetary/physical “value” on each other.
If money takes precedence over attraction, it won’t last the distance, if that is the sole reason for the choice, in fact it will cause real harm.
Kant says…“True human love admits of no distinction between types of persons, or between young and old”. He is claiming that love is not grounded in the perception of the beauty or other value of the beloved.
Then make a miniature Brazil in your back yard. Buy some Brazilian flora, some snakes and frogs and spiders, build an aviary and get some exotic birds. Then smear some dirt on your face and climb a tree barefooted. Make a blow-gun and shoot darts at the animals from up in the tree while a soundtrack of Brazilian jungle sounds plays through some speakers sitting in the window. Or better, wire a speaker system up in the trees. Look man, I could rig all this up for you for a reasonable price. I’ll even install a stream and pond run off an underground pump. You could get some pirannas (how the fuck do you spell pirhana anyway?) from a black-market dealer. Talk it over with the hubby. It’ll be the Brazilian computer programmer’s version of Epicurus’ garden.
It’s all kinds of shit mixed up. Romantic love is a mix of wanting to protect and comfort, to merge with sexually, bodily and biologically, and a deep existential acknowledgement and nod to the Other that says ‘one day you and I will die and have to say goodbye forever… doesn’t that MAJORLY SUCK? Meanwhile, let’s pour ourselves into each other while we can.’
Here’s how you can check your definition of love. Would you ever make a sacrifice, do a favor or give a gift to your loved one without receiving anything in return?
If you’ve answered yes, then there is something more to it than obsession and possession, no?
Technically love is selfish, because if “two people are now one” then anything you give to the other, technically is still within your group/alliance.
So you’re giving it to yourself, your “team”. I like the possession and obsession definition. That even explains the mother-child relationship very well.
There is an important difference between “selfish” and “self-interested”.
“Selfish” refers to being interested ONLY in oneself. “Self-interested” refers to maintaining an interest in oneself while still possibly having a great deal of interest in others. An altruist is not selfless nor selfish, but rather self-interested with a high enough regard for others that he treats himself as merely one of them, no better nor worse - a love of the whole and all within, including himself.
No it doesn’t, and explaining that to someone who will never be a mother is probably like explaining to a fish how it feels to breathe air, so I’m not going to bother.
anyway there’s already a 20-something page thread entitled “what is love” with all the same pretentiously juvenile comments you’re making itt. go read it, and spare yourself a lot of typing k? Good kiddo have a cookie.
